Testing JavaScript

Launchpad's JavaScript testing consists of unit tests built with YUI 3's yuitest library, and automated acceptance testing using the Windmill framework. We use the GradedBrowserSupport chart to determine which browsers code should be regularly tested in.

Testing Launchpad

Critical functions in Launchpad that have been enhanced by JavaScript, like editing a bug title, are tested using Windmill. Check the Windmill page for instructions on running the test suite.

Testing the lazr-js Widget Library

Launchpad makes use of the lazr-js widget library, as well as YUI. The Launchpad Windmill tests excersize critical functionality, leaving the comprehensive testing to the lazr-js library itself.

Running the lazr-js unit tests

The unit tests can be run stand-alone from the lazr-js project.

To run the lazr-js test suite:

  1. Grab a copy of the lazr-js trunk:  bzr get lp:lazr-js 

  2. Change to the tests/ directory of the component you want to test. For example, $ cd src/inlineeditor/tests/.

  3. Load any HTML files you find into your browser. The test suite will run automatically.
    • This process is really onerous - maybe the YUI 2 TestManager offers a better way to handle this. -- mars 2009-02-26 15:43:40

Acceptance testing lazr-js widgets

You can try out stand-alone versions of the lazr-js widgets using the examples/ pages. E.g.:

$ firefox examples/inlineedit/index.html
