grunt-simple-testem v1.0.0

grunt-simple-testem

A grunt wrapper for testem

Getting Started

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-simple-testem --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-simple-testem');

Alternatively, install task-master and let it manage this for you.

The "testem" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named testem to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). This is a thin wrapper around the testem API, so any of the valid options for testem will work here. A simple example is:

grunt.initConfig({
  testem: {
    unit: {
      options: {
        src_files: ['lib/**/*.js'],
        fail_on_zero_tests: true,
        framework: 'jasmine',
        launch_in_dev: ['PhantomJS', 'Chrome', 'Firefox'],
        launch_in_ci: ['PhantomJS']
      }
    }
  }
});

Testem has two different modes: dev and ci (errrrr . . . and also server . . . which is present here and works but I've never used it so I don't know what it does). If a particular task should have a default mode, you can pass that as "mode," but you can also override it from the command line by passing it as an argument to the task. E.g.

grunt.initConfig({
  testem: {
    unit: {
      mode: 'ci'
      options: {
        // . . . etc
      }
    }
  }
});

Here, running grunt testem:unit will launch testem in ci mode, but you can override that by running grunt testem:unit:dev.

If no mode is provided in the configuration or via command line, it defaults to dev.
