Transcript of Jasmine BDD for Javascript
BDD for Javascript
Luis Alfredo Porras Páez
Everyone meet to Jasmine :)
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
A BDD Framework for testing JavaScript.
- Does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks.
- Does not require a DOM.
- It has a clean, obvious syntax
- Heavily influenced by, and borrows the best parts of, ScrewUnit, JSSpec, JSpec, and of course RSpec.

Specs
"What your code should do"
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Expectations
"To express what you expect about the behavior of your code"
matcher

Suites"To Describe a component of your code"

Before and After
beforeEach( ) => Takes a function that is run before each spec

Before and After II

afterEach( ) => Takes a function that is run after each spec

Nested Describes

Disabling Tests
describe => xdescribe
it => xit
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
expect(x).toEqual(y);expect(x).toBe(y);expect(x).toMatch(pattern); expect(x).toBeDefined(); expect(x).toBeNull(); expect(x).toBeTruthy();expect(x).toBeFalsy();expect(x).toContain(y);expect(x).toBeLessThan(y);expect(x).toBeGreaterThan(y);expect(fn).toThrow(e);expect(x).not.toEqual(y);
Every matcher's criteria can be inverted by prepending .not
Matchers
"How you can evaluate your code behavior"
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Your own matcher
"We are not slave, we wanna make our own matchers"
describe('Hello world', function() { beforeEach(function() { this.addMatchers({ toBeDivisibleByTwo: function() { return (this.actual % 2) === 0; } }); });
it('is divisible by 2', function() { expect(gimmeANumber()).toBeDivisibleByTwo(); });
});

Jasmine becomes SPY GIRL
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
SPIES
"Jasmine Spies are test doubles that can act as stubs, spies, fakes or when used in an expecation, mocks."
Spies should be created in test setup, before expectations.
Spies are torn down at the end of every spec.
Spies can be checked if they were called or not and what the calling params were.
A Spy has the following fields: wasCalled, callCount, mostRecentCall, and argsForCall
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
SPIES IIspying on an existing function that you don't touch, with spyOn()var Person = function() { };Person.prototype.helloSomeone = function(toGreet) { return this.sayHello() + " " + toGreet; };Person.prototype.sayHello = function() { return "Hello"; };
we want to make sure it calls the sayHello() function when we call the helloSomeone() functiondescribe("Person", function() { it("calls the sayHello() function", function() { var fakePerson = new Person(); spyOn(fakePerson, "sayHello"); fakePerson.helloSomeone("world"); expect(fakePerson.sayHello).toHaveBeenCalled(); }); });

Now we want to make sure that helloSomeone is called with "world" as its argumentdescribe("Person", function() { it("greets the world", function() { var fakePerson = new Person(); spyOn(fakePerson, "helloSomeone"); fakePerson.helloSomeone("world"); expect(fakePerson.helloSomeone).toHaveBeenCalledWith("world"); }); });
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
SPIES IVSpying on an existing function that you modify: use of jasmine.createSpy()var Person = function() { };Person.prototype.helloSomeone = function(toGreet) { return this.sayHello() + " " + toGreet; };Person.prototype.sayHello = function() { return "Hello"; };
With Jasmine, you can "empty" the contents of the function while you're testing�describe("Person", function() { it("says hello", function() { var fakePerson = new Person(); fakePerson.sayHello = jasmine.createSpy("Say-hello spy"); fakePerson.helloSomeone("world"); expect(fakePerson.sayHello).toHaveBeenCalled(); });});

You can specify that a spy function return something�fakePerson.sayHello = jasmine.createSpy('"Say hello" spy').andReturn("ello ello");
You can even give your spy functions something to dofakePerson.sayHello = jasmine.createSpy('"Say hello" spy').andCallFake(function() { document.write("Time to say hello!"); return "bonjour"; });

Spying AJAXSpies can be very useful for testing AJAX or other asynchronous behaviors that take callbacks by faking the method firing an async call
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Spy-Specific Matchers
expect(x).toHaveBeenCalled() expect(x).toHaveBeenCalledWith(arguments) expect(x).not.toHaveBeenCalled() expect(x).not.toHaveBeenCalledWith(arguments)
When working with spies, these matchers are quite handy:
Spies can be trained to respond in a variety of ways when invoked:spyOn(x, 'method').andCallThrough() spyOn(x, 'method').andReturn(arguments)spyOn(x, 'method').andThrow(exception)spyOn(x, 'method').andCallFake(function)

Asynchronous specs
There are three Jasmine functions that hep you with asynchronicity: run(), waitsFor(), and wait().
runsrun() blocks execute procedurally, so you don't have to worry about asynchronous code screwing everything up.
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Asynchronous specs II
runsrun() blocks share functional scope -- this properties will be common to all blocks, but declared var's will not!
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Asynchronous specs III
waits(timeout)The function waits( ) works with runs( ) to provide a naive timeout before the next block is run
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Asynchronous specs IV
waits(timeout)waits( ) allows you to pause the spec for a fixed period of time.
But what if you don't know exactly how long you need to wait?
waitsFor to the Rescue¡
https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki
Asynchronous specs V
waitsFor(function, optional message, optional timeout)waitsFor() . Provides a better interface for pausing your spec until some other work has completed.Jasmine will wait until the provided function returns true before continuing with the next block. This may mean waiting an arbitrary period of time, or you may specify a maxiumum period in milliseconds before timing out.describe("Calculator", function() { it("should factor two huge numbers asynchronously", function() { var calc = new Calculator(); var answer = calc.factor(18973547201226, 28460320801839); waitsFor(function() { return calc.answerHasBeenCalculated(); }, "It took too long to find those factors.", 10000);runs(function() { expect(answer).toEqual(9486773600613); }); });});
