Fox

A new pragmatic JavaScript testing framework fpr both NodeJS and browsers.

$ npm install -g fox

First Steps

Create a new test document and name it test.js. ChaiJS' expect and assert modules are injected to the test modules by default;

describe('Number', function(){
  it('converts a date to a number', function(){    
      expect( Number(new Date) ).to.be.a('number')
  })
})

Available BDD methods:

• before
• beforeEach
• describe
• it
• afterEach
• after

Running on Node

$ fox # It'll look modules like test.js and test/index by default. You can specify them manually; fox test_foo.js test_b*.js
OK, passed 1 test.

Running On Browsers

$ fox -b
Visit localhost:7559 to run tests on a web browser

Once you pass -b parameter, fox compiles your source code for browsers and publishes a web page where you can run and see the test results.

Headless Testing

If you have PhantomJS installed in your system, run fox with -bv parameters to run the tests headlessly;

$ fox -bv
