TypeScript / JavaScript support #1

Open aholmes opened 9 years ago

aholmes commented 9 years ago

It would be great to have support for these languages.

JoshVarty commented 9 years ago

Alive runs user code by running your unit tests. It helps us guarantee that all program state is properly taken care of.

What sort of testing frameworks exist for Javascript/Typescript that you'd like to see support for?

Supporting Javascript and Typescript is definitely possible and reasonable.

aholmes commented 9 years ago

I have used http://jasmine.github.io/ for testing JavaScript. I haven't used any specifically for TypeScript, though there is this project https://github.com/Steve-Fenton/tsUnit.

@JoshVarty Can we have c++ support too?

JoshVarty commented 9 years ago

@agauniyal Unfortunately compilation in C/C++ is prohibitively expensive at this time. It's not that we don't want to build Alive for C/C++ but that we can't :(

agauniyal commented 9 years ago

@JoshVarty yup I understand. If you guys ever want ( in near future ) to hop into c++ bandwagon , take a look at clang and clangtools. Plus there's a Cling made over clang too which was demonstrated in recent talks. These are just suggestions :) and best of luck for your product!

Mocha is another popular JS/TS test runner.

JoshVarty commented 9 years ago

@tejacques Awesome, thanks I'll check it out!

Velocity, the reactive test-runner for Meteor, the only JavaScript full stack framework that resides as Nr. 10 on Github's most stared repos list.

JoshVarty commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the additions @D1no!
