Release 0.5

Introduction:

During my first release of OSD700 I learned the following:

• Jasmine.js Testing Framework
• Grunt
• Travis Continuous Integration

In particular the bug I was exposed to involved fixing jshint validation errors caught by Grunt-CLI.


Discovering bugs in Filer on Fedora 18 Chrome and found that the tests failed on Chrome however passed on Firefox.

Chrome Failed Tests:

Firefox passed test:

What is Jasmine.JS?

Jasmine.js is a testing framework that applies the behavior-driven development principles. 

How do I write a Jasmine.JS Test?

Screenshot of code from: https://github.com/js-platform/filer/blob/develop/tests/spec/filer.spec.js

Note: The 'describe' function has nested 'it' functions. Each it function is an individual test.

Conclusion

I will be presenting during next class and have an interactive demo so we can code together. So everyone will know how to write jasmine test by end of class.
