Is it practical/possible to separate jasmine tests into a separate visual studio project?
I am just getting started with angular, and am trying to write my tests before I start on the actual angular implementation. I will be writing my project in Visual Studio 2012 with the Chutzpah test runner, see this video. Currently, I am trying to figure out how to organize my folder structure. I know about angular-seed and yeoman, but those are ill suited to starting a .net project.
I am assuming that since unit tests in Visual Studio are usually separated into a separate test project, by convention, the jasmine tests should, too.
However, for java script, there are no project dlls to reference, so separating the tests out into a different project would require a lot of copy and pasting, I think.
You can do this with no copy/pasting. In your Jasmine tests you can add a /// <reference comment which posts to your source files (or the directory containing them). For example given this sturcture
/ProjectA /scripts
code1.js code2.js/TestProjectB test1.js
You can add this line at the top of your test1.js file to reference all your code files:
/// <reference path="../scripts" />
