I have started writing unit tests. I need to call a function in signup.js from another script, unittest.js. How can I do this?
Unittest.html would incorporate both scripts.
<html>
<head>
<script scr ="signup.js"></script>
<script src="unittest,js"></script>
</head>
</html>
This is signup.js, which I have to test.
YUI.use(function(Y){
demo : function(){
window.alert('hello);
}
});
unittest.js:
YUI.use(function(Y){
var abc = new Y.Test.case(
testOk : function(){
demo(); // Calling this function but not working
<Some_Assestion_Stuff_Here>
}
);
});
Your two scripts have both created a YUI sandbox. Neither sandbox share anything with the other, so you cannot achieve unit testing demo() like this.
What you can do is to register a module in signup.js and use it in unittest.js. See the following example: http://jsfiddle.net/746nq/
In signup.js, create the module:
// Create a YUI module in signup.js.
YUI.add('signup', function (Y) {
// Write your module code here, and make your module available on the Y
// object if desired.
Y.Signup = {
demo: function () {
window.alert("Demo!");
}
};
});
In unittest.js, use the module:
// Create a YUI sandbox in unittest.js and use our newly created module
YUI().use('signup', function (Y) {
Y.Signup.demo();
// assert stuff
});
Hope this helps you.
