Hi-Five
Minimal BDD test runner that plays along nicely with Browserify.
Philosophy
-
Not-A-Framework: Hi-five should let you, the programmer, lead the way and define how testing should be done. Bring your own reporters & assertion libraries.
-
Run anywhere: Hi-five should run in any JS VM that supports at least the ECMAScript 3 specification.
-
Easy to integrate: Hi-five should be easy to integrate with any CI or other system.
-
Support async: Hi-five should support asynchronous tests as first-class.
Example
var spec = var assert = spec
Then:
$ node run test.jsSuccess. 1/1 tests.
Installing
The easiest way is to grab it from NPM. If you're running in a Browser environment, you can use Browserify
$ npm install hifive
Using with CommonJS
If you're not using NPM, Download the latest release, and require
the hifive.umd.js
file:
var hifive =
Using with AMD
Download the latest release, and require the hifive.umd.js
file:
Using without modules
Download the latest release, and load the hifive.umd.js
file. The properties are exposed in the global hifive
object:
Compiling from source
If you want to compile this library from the source, you'll need Git, Make, Node.js, and run the following commands:
$ git clone git://github.com/hifivejs/hifive.git
$ cd hifive
$ npm install
$ make bundle
This will generate the dist/hifive.umd.js
file, which you can load in
any JavaScript environment.
Documentation
You can read the documentation online or build it yourself:
$ git clone git://github.com/hifivejs/hifive.git
$ cd hifive
$ npm install
$ make documentation
Then open the file docs/index.html
in your browser.
Platform support
This library assumes an ES5 environment, but can be easily supported in ES3 platforms by the use of shims. Just include es5-shim :)
