Ember QUnit

[WIP] Unit test helpers for Ember.

About

Ember QUnit uses your application's resolver to find and automatically create test subjects for you with the moduleFor and test helpers.

This is a work in progress but its also quite handy already. Feedback is highly encouraged.

Module Formats

You will find all the popular formats in dist/. If using globals, all methods are found on window.emq.

Examples

Global build setup:

// inject test helpers onto window
emq.globalize();

Setting the resolver

// if you don't have a custom resolver, do it like this:
setResolver(Ember.DefaultResolver.create({namespace: App}));

// otherwise something like:
import Resolver from './path/to/resolver';
import {setResolver} from 'ember-qunit';
setResolver(Resolver.create());

Simple example:

// tell ember qunit what you are testing, it will find it from the
// resolver
moduleForComponent('x-foo', 'XFooComponent');

// run a test
test('it renders', function() {
  expect(2);

  // creates the component instance
  var component = this.subject();
  equal(component.state, 'preRender');

  // appends the component to the page
  this.append();
  equal(component.state, 'inDOM');
});

Complex example

// a more complex example taken from ic-tabs
moduleForComponent('ic-tabs', 'TabsComponent', {

  // specify the other units that are required for this test
  needs: [
    'component:ic-tab',
    'component:ic-tab-panel',
    'component:ic-tab-list'
  ]
});

test('selects first tab and shows the panel', function() {
  expect(3);
  var component = test.subject({

    // can provide properties for the subject, like the yielded template
    // of a component (not the layout, in this case)
    template: Ember.Handlebars.compile(''+
      '{{#ic-tab-list}}'+
        '{{#ic-tab id="tab1"}}tab1{{/ic-tab}}'+
        '{{#ic-tab id="tab2"}}tab2{{/ic-tab}}'+
        '{{#ic-tab id="tab3"}}tab3{{/ic-tab}}'+
      '{{/ic-tab-list}}'+
      '{{#ic-tab-panel id="panel1"}}one{{/ic-tab-panel}}'+
      '{{#ic-tab-panel id="panel2"}}two{{/ic-tab-panel}}'+
      '{{#ic-tab-panel id="panel3"}}three{{/ic-tab-panel}}'
    })
  });
  this.append();
  var tab1 = Ember.View.views['tab1'];
  var panel1 = Ember.View.views['panel1'];
  ok(component.get('activeTab') === tab1);
  ok(tab1.get('active'));
  var el = tab1.$();
  ok(panel1.$().is(':visible'));
});

Helpers

`moduleFor(fullName [, description [, callbacks]])`

fullName: (String) - The full name of the unit, ie controller:application, route:index.
description: (String) optional - The description of the module
callbacks: (Object) optional - Normal QUnit callbacks (setup and teardown), with addition to needs, which allows you specify the other units the tests will need.

`moduleForComponent(name, [description, callbacks])`

name: (String) - the short name of the component that you'd use in a template, ie x-foo, ic-tabs, etc.

`moduleForModel(name, [description, callbacks])`

name: (String) - the short name of the model you'd use in store operations ie user, assignmentGroup, etc.
