Testing Enyo Applications

I have an enyo kind like this:

enyo.kind({
    name:"branding", components: [
    {name: "appName", content:"Stars of the East", classes:"heading"},
    {content:AppConfig.tagline, classes:"subHeading"}]
});

I am trying to test this kind with the following jasmine describe.

describe("Test Branding Kind", function() {
    it("should see enyo component from jasmine", function() {
        var branding = enyo.kind({
            kind: "branding"
        });
        expect(branding.$.appName.getContent()).toBe("Stars of the East");
    })
});

I am getting an error. Can anyone guide me ?

Solution

  • You need to actually instantiate your kind to test it. enyo.kind() only creates the template. Try:

    describe("Test Branding Kind", function() {
    it("should see enyo component from jasmine", function() {
        var localBranding = new branding();
        expect(localBranding.$.appName.getContent()).toBe("Stars of the East");
    })
});

    You will also have to fix the problem that Art pointed out where you do not have the components block.

    You will probably also need to actually render your components if they have UI elements you want to check. You may want to change the localBranding line to:

    var localBranding = new branding().renderInto(<some element on your page>);

    Finally, we suggest that kind names should be uppercase to distinguish them from instance names. name: "branding" would be name: "Branding" if you follow our advice.
