Grunt-vows NPM

grunt-vows

A grunt task for running your vows test specs.

Installation

npm install grunt-vows

Usage

Either run it via grunt by first adding this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-vows");

then by running the vows task directly (or via an alias):

grunt vows

or you can run it as a stand-alone command:

grunt-vows

(requires global installation, i.e. npm install -g grunt-vows)

Configuration

Note: As of version 0.2.0 grunt-vows is a multi-task!

Configuration is handled via the default grunt multi-task config schema:

grunt.initConfig({
    vows: {
        all: {
            options: {
                // String {spec|json|dot-matrix|xunit|tap}
                // defaults to "dot-matrix"
                reporter: "spec",
                // String or RegExp which is
                // matched against title to
                // restrict which tests to run
                onlyRun: /helper/,
                // Boolean, defaults to false
                verbose: false,
                // Boolean, defaults to false
                silent: false,
                // Colorize reporter output,
                // boolean, defaults to true
                colors: true,
                // Run each test in its own
                // vows process, defaults to
                // false
                isolate: false,
                // String {plain|html|json|xml}
                // defaults to none
                coverage: "json"
            },
            // String or array of strings
            // determining which files to include.
            // This option is grunt's "full" file format.
            src: ["test/*.js", "spec/*"]
        }
    }
});
