JavaScript Testing with Screw.Unit

Posted by Larry Karnowski Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:42:00 GMT

I've been quietly hacking away on integrating three great tools:

  • Screw.Unit, a wonderful RSpec-like JavaScript testing framework
  • env.js, a wonderful fake JavaScript DOM implementation
  • Ruby on Rails plugins

What does that get me? Voila! Easy headless and in-browser testing of my unobtrusive JavaScript! (For more information on Screw.Unit, I also created a mailing list with the original authors' permission.)
