Better Javascript with Jasmine
I don’t test my JavaScript because ______________
“Semicolons are for losers”
“It can’t be automated”
“I already test it with Cucumber”
“I don’t have any REAL BUSINESS LOGIC in my JavaScript”
“It’s too hard”
“It changes too often”
“I’m lazy”
“It’s not worth the effort”
I have [ ] more [ ] less JavaScript in
my code than I used to.
I have [ X ] more [ ] less JavaScript
in my code than I used to.

Rubyists need not fear
the authors may have seen RSpec before
describe RomanNumeral do it "should convert I to 1" do
subject = RomanNumeral.new("I") subject.to_i.should eq(1) end end
describe("RomanNumeral", function() { it("returns 1 for I", function() { var
subject = new RomanNumeral("I"); return expect(subject.toI()).toBe(1); }); });
basics
RSpec Jasmine describe User do describe(“User”, function() it “saves stuff”
do it (“saves stuff”, function() value.should expect(value)
matchers
RSpec Jasmine name.should eq(“Todd”) expect(name).toBe(“Todd”); (3*3).should_not == 8 expect(3*3).not.toBe(8); be,
eql, equal, ==, === toEqual, toBe
None
None
RSpec Jasmine 7.should be_true expect(7).toBeTruthy(); (7).should_not be(true) expect(7).not.toBe(true); nil.should be_false
expect(null).toBeFalsy();
RSpec Jasmine [‘a’,’b’].should include(‘a’) expect([3,4]).toContain(4); (1.05).should be_close(1, 0.06) expect(1.05).toBeCloseTo(1, 0)
nil.should be_false expect(null).toBeFalsy();

but, semicolons are still for losers
describe("RomanNumeral", function() { it("returns 1 for I", function() { var
subject = new RomanNumeral("I"); return expect(subject.toI()).toBe(1); }); });
describe "RomanNumeral", -> it "returns 1 for I", -> subject
= new RomanNumeral("I") expect(subject.toI()).toBe 1
Great, so how do I run this stuff?
