jasmine

Run Jasmine tests in the browser. Only supports client tests that run in the browser with the app context for now. You can use all Jasmine 2.0 features and the same syntax for your tests.

Place your tests in the folder tests/jasmine/client/. You can nest them inside this folder how you want.

Open the mirror app http://localhost:5000. The mirror app will run the tests. Your normal running app is not affected by the package.

Installation

mrt add velocity
mrt add jasmine
mrt add velocity-html-reporter

Example

Check out the Jasmine tests in the velocity-example.

Mocks

Mocking Meteor

This package ships with mocks for the Meteor API. You can mock the Meteor API in your tests with:

beforeEach(function () {
  MeteorStubs.install();
});

afterEach(function () {
  MeteorStubs.uninstall();
});

Mocking objects

You can mock any object with the global helper function mock. This will avoid unwanted side effects that can affect other tests. Here is an example how to mock the Players collection of the Leaderboard example:

beforeEach(function () {
  mock(window, 'Players');
});

This will mock the Players collection for each test. The original Players collection is automatically restored after each test.

Creating more complex mocks

You can also create mocks manually. I would suggest to use the following pattern:

Create a mock service with a method install and uninstall (example for Meteor)

• install: Saves the original object and mocks it
• uninstall: Restores the original object

This pattern allows you to enable mocks only for specific tests and have a clean and independent mock for each test.

Roadmap

• Support server tests that run inside the Meteor context.
