Testing Tutorial

[JhonSmithRomeroSolorzano]

Hi every body.

I'm doing the testing tutorial, wich is in https://mithril.js.org/testing.html

I did each step exactly as suggested, with the suggested file structure, but I'm geeting this result.

There is no error but the component was not tested either.

Code

I want to know what I am skipping, or what step does not have the tutorial that I am skipping. I really appreciate the help you can give me since I have to start testing my application.

@JhonSmithRomeroSolorzano I can confirm it doesn't work out of the box. I don't have the time today to figure out why not, but maybe someone else can. I think that out.should.contain("day") doesn't work anymore (it should be something like o(testvalue).equals('expected value') now), but that's not the reason it doesn't work.

I'm facing same.

I'm seeing the same stuff, and I can't figure out why. Worth enumerating the other problems with the test documentation:

1. It doesn't install Mithril
2. It doesn't bind the Mithril module to global in test-setup.js
3. It's confused about whether it's using ospec or mocha - step 1 says to add "test": "mocha" to your scripts but then immediately tells you to use ospec instead; later the test file uses ospec test specifications but mocha assertions.

I've tried variations of the command line and nothing seems to work for this setup. Strange!

I also struggled with the Mithril documentation for testing. Then I did set up a testing environment for a JS application, using Webpack and Mocha. So I took some time to write a tutorial and a sample application: https://gitlab.com/Mytskine/mithril-real-world. Mocha tests are run locally and with Gitlab-CI. Hope that helps.
