running on the browser? #248

I want to use the same testTasks on the server as on the browser. Is it possible to run jake from within the browser?

Wow. There's nothing specifically preventing Jake from running in the browser. The Jakefile and .jake files are loaded using plain Node require, so if you can get tasks into the runtime, things should pretty much work. The only specific stumbling block for TestTask is that it assumes it should be loading test files according to the provided glob/regex patterns. You'd probably have to refactor it a bit to load test files another way.
