testling

Write tests for the browser or node.

Run them with local browsers or hosted browsers from testling.com.

example

Just write a simple test:

var test = require('testling');
 
test('json parse', function (t) {
    t.same(JSON.parse('[1,2]'), [1,2]);
    t.log('beep boop');
    t.end();
});

then run it with a local browser:

$ testling example/test.js --browser=chrome
>> beep boop
TAP version 13
# json parse
ok 1 should be equivalent

1..1
# tests 1
# pass  1

# ok

Your local browsers will be detected using browser-launcher.

To see a list of detected local browsers, do testling list:

$ testling list
chrome/17.0.963.12
chromium/18.0.1025.168
phantom/1.4.0
firefox/12.0

To run your test on remote testling browsers, first open a testling tunnel:

$ testling tunnel
# ssh -NR 57594:localhost:54046 [e-mail]
Enter passphrase for key '/home/substack/.ssh/id_dsa': 

then do:

$ testling example/test.js --browser=testling.chrome/12.0
>> beep boop
TAP version 13
# json parse
ok 1 should be equivalent

1..1
# tests 1
# pass  1

# ok

test api

var test = require('testling')

The test api is just the node-tap api plus:

t.createWindow(uri, vars, cb)

Return a schoolbus object to drive around web pages.

t.log(msg)

Log a message to the output.
