Ember Test Helpers

expectComponent

expectComponent(componentName, count, options)

Passes when the component exists in the container and is in the DOM.

count optional, defaults to 1.

If options.contains is set, the expectation only passes if the component is in DOM and contains the string from options.contains.

clickComponent

clickComponent(componentName, selector)

Clicks the CSS selector inside the component(s) of type componentName in the DOM.

expectElement

expectElement(selector, count, options)

Expect that count instances of the selector are in the DOM.

count is optional and defaults to 1.

If options.contains is set, the expectation will only pass if there are exactly count instances of the selector that include the string value of options.contains.

expectNoElement

expectNoElement(selector, options)

A convenience for expectElement when the count is 0.

options can include a contains key.

Setup

• Add ember-test-helpers to your package.json:
• npm install --save-dev ember-test-helpers
• import the registerTestHelpers function in your tests/helpers/start-app.js:
• Add this line to to the top of start-app.js:
  • import registerTestHelpers from '../201-created/register-test-helpers';
• Register the test helpers:
  • Add this line to start-app.js before App.injectTestHelpers
  • registerTestHelpers();
• Update your tests/.jshintrc file to notify it of the new globals that these helpers have added. Add the following lines to the predef array (after "currentRouteName"):

"expectComponent",
"clickComponent",
"expectElement",
"expectNoElement",

• You may need to restart your ember server so that it picks up the new .jshintrc file.

To do

• Possible to automatically import helpers (via ember generator?)
• possible to automatically add globals to .jshintrc?
