YUITest Wrapper for PhantomJS

A little command line tool for running YUITest html files inside of PhantomJS.

This release supports exiting with the proper exit code to fail a build.

Installation

You must have the phantomjs command line tool installed prior to running this.

npm -g install grover

This works on Windows too, just make sure your phantomjs.exe executable is in your path.

Commandline Arguments

grover <paths to yuitest html files>
   -v, --version Print version
   -h, --help Print this stuff
   -s, --silent Print no output, only use exit code
   -q, --quiet Only print errors and use exit code
   -f, --fail Fail on first error
   -c, --concurrent Number of tests to run concurrently, default: 15
   -t, --timeout Specify a timeout (in seconds) for a test file to be considered as failed.
   -i, --import <path to js file> - Require this file and use the exports (array)
           as the list of files to process.
   -p, --prefix <string> String to prefix to all urls (for dynamic server names)
   -S, --suffix <string> String to add to the end of all urls (for dynamic server names)
   -o, --outfile <path to export file>
       You can specify an export type with the following:
       --tap TAP export (default)
       --xml XML export
       --json JSON export
       --junit JUnit XML export
   --server Starts a static file server in the CWD, tests should be relative to this directory
   --port <Number> The port to start the server on
   --phantom-bin <path to phantomjs executable> A non-PATH location for the phantomjs executable
   --no-run Do not execute the tests, just prep the server (for other testing)

Coverage Options
   --coverage Generate a coverage report and print it to the screen (you must instrument your own files first)
   --coverage-warn <Number> The percentage to highlight as low coverage: default is 80
   --istanbul-report <Path> Generate an Instabul coverage report into this directory
   -co --coverageFileName <path to export coverage file> The coverage data in lcov format.
   -sp --sourceFilePrefix <path to sourcefile> The relative path to the original source file for use in the coverage results.

Saving Results

Grover supports the 4 ways that YUITest exports it's tests results so you can import them into another system.

grover ./tests/*.html -o ./results/results.json --json
grover ./tests/*.html -o ./results/results.xml --xml
grover ./tests/*.html -o ./results/results.tap --tap
grover ./tests/*.html -o ./results/results.junit.xml --junit

Using the built in server

Using the --server command will fire up a server in the process.cwd() and serve anything under it as statis content. Then when you select the tests to be run, they are converted to URL's under the hood and fetched from the static server instead of the file system.

Combine this with -S options like this:

grover --server --port 5000 -S '?filter=coverage' ./tests/foo.html

This will create a URL like:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/tests/foo.html?filter=coverage

You can add --no-run to have grover fire up the server and prep everything, but not execute the tests. This way you can access the grover server from another location (browser). If you want to continue running the tests after launching this way, simply send the process a SIGCONT signal (kill -s SIGCONT [PID]) and grover will start executing the tests like it normally would. This is handy if you have CLI tests that you want to execute against the server before you want the Phantom tests to execute.

Grover also supports my echoecho module by default.

Istanbul Coverage

If you instrument your files with the Istanbul Coverage Tool, you can have grover show you your coverage report:

grover --coverage --coverage-warn 70 ./tests/*.html

Will print something like this:

Starting Grover on 1 files with PhantomJS@1.6.1
  Running 15 concurrent tests at a time.

  assuming server root as /home/yui/src/yui3

What's with the name?

This tool is dedicated to Ryan Grove for all his work on YUI over the last year. I told him that my next command line tool would be named "grover" after "rgrove".
