Jasmine BDD for Javascript
Jasmine is a BDD framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on other frameworks and does not require a DOM. Jasmine uses specs, expectations, suites, and matchers to define tests and make assertions. It also supports features for testing asynchronous code and spying on functions. Jasmine provides tools like spies, stubs, fakes, and mocks to help test code behavior.

- 3. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki A BDD Frameworkfor 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.

- 14. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Matchers "How youcan evaluate your code behavior" 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
- 15. 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(); }); });

- 17. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki SPIES "Jasmine Spiesare 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
- 18. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki SPIES II spying onan 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() function describe("Person", function() { it("calls the sayHello() function", function() { var fakePerson = new Person(); spyOn(fakePerson, "sayHello"); fakePerson.helloSomeone("world"); expect(fakePerson.sayHello).toHaveBeenCalled(); }); });
- 19. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki SPIES III spying onan 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"; }; Now we want to make sure that helloSomeone is called with "world" as its argument describe("Person", function() { it("greets the world", function() { var fakePerson = new Person(); spyOn(fakePerson, "helloSomeone"); fakePerson.helloSomeone("world"); expect(fakePerson.helloSomeone).toHaveBeenCalledWith("world"); }); });
- 20. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki SPIES IV Spying onan 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(); }); });
- 21. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki SPIES V Spyingon 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"; }; 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 do fakePerson.sayHello = jasmine.createSpy('"Say hello" spy').andCallFake(function() { document.write("Time to say hello!"); return "bonjour"; });
- 22. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Spying AJAX Spies can be very useful for testing AJAX or other asynchronous behaviors that take callbacks by faking the method firing an async call
- 23. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Spy-Specific Matchers When workingwith spies, these matchers are quite handy: expect(x).toHaveBeenCalled() expect(x).toHaveBeenCalledWith(arguments) expect(x).not.toHaveBeenCalled() expect(x).not.toHaveBeenCalledWith(arguments) 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)
- 24. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Asynchronous specs There arethree Jasmine functions that hep you with asynchronicity: run(), waitsFor(), and wait(). runs run() blocks execute procedurally, so you don't have to worry about asynchronous code screwing everything up.
- 25. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Asynchronous specs II runs run()blocks share functional scope -- this properties will be common to all blocks, but declared var's will not!
- 26. https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine/wiki Asynchronous specs III waits(timeout) Thefunction waits( ) works with runs( ) to provide a naive timeout before the next block is run
- 27. 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¡
- 28. 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); }); }); });
