grunt-pft

Phantom Functional Test runner utilizing PFT (Phantom Functional Test)

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5 and PFT >= 1.0.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-pft --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-pft');

The "pft" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named pft to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  pft: {
    your_target: {
      options: {
        // Task-specific options go here.
      },
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

options.parallel

Type: Integer Default value: 1

The number of parallel instances of PhantomJs to spawn. Each instance will get an equal portion of the test scripts allocated to it.

Usage Examples

Default Options

By default this task will run in a single PhantomJs instance and not save the output to any file. Any failures in the executed test scripts will cause the task to fail.

grunt.initConfig({
  pft: {
    src: ['src/tests/script1.js', 'src/tests/script2.js']
  },
});

Custom Options

In this example, the parallel options is used to run each of the passed in test scripts in its own instance of PhantomJs. Were there 4 test scripts passed as src parameters then each of the 2 PhantomJs instances would be allocated 2 test scripts.

grunt.initConfig({
  pft: {
    options: {
      "parallel": 2, // run using two instances of PhantomJs
    },
    src: ['src/tests/script1.js', 'src/tests/script2.js'],
    dest: 'dest/output.log', // save the output to a file
  },
});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
