generator-yosapy

yoSapy

AngularJS test generator. It's an yeoman generator. Generates customized Jasmine test for your angularJs file [Right now only works for controllers . test generator for directives and services are under construction...]

• Takes path of the angularJs file to be tested as input.
• Parses the file and generates a test file.
• Be ready for surprise - you will be amazed to see that most of these auto generated test are actually passing , and you need to edit rest, to make them pass (Obviously ).
• this auto generated test file takes your code coverage for that file from 0% to 40-50% without writing a single line of code . Now that's Freaking awesome!!!

Usage

globally install the module

npm install -g generator-yosapy

• Now go to the test folder in your Angular project, where you want the test file to be created.

cd ~/path/To/Your/Test/Folder/

• Now run following command. ( It's a yeoman generator so you need to have yeoman installed)

yo yosapy

• It will prompt you for the path of the file to be tested. Provide absolute path of the file.

?Absolute path of the File to be tested: absolutePath/of/file/myController.js

• This generator will parse your file and genearte a test file for you .

Caveat

This generators parses your file using and Esprima and Regex, and to produce meaningful, mostly passing , custom testcases , I had to make a hell lot of assumptions and even hell lot more fallBacks. here are some tips to help the generator not to fail with weired error messages for your input file.

• Only tested this on Mac . Might fail for other Operatiing System (specially windows)
• Please ensure your input file is not having syntactical error (e.g passes JSLint)
• Your input file should contain a single component (It should not have more than one controlers or directive clubbed in a single file.)

Support

This generator not working at all ? or generating gibberish ? then Probably the some of my "assumptions" (to be specific regex and ast-queries) need to be refined . Feel free to shoot a mail at [e-mail] with input.js file and I will be happy to help .
