Polymer element Unit Tests #34

Make a start on Unit Testing with Polymer web app.

deadlyfingers commented 8 years ago

Writing tests using web-component-tester: Tried various tools to rig up some Polymer unit tests for checking results of async methods using jQuery $.ajax or Polymer iron-ajax response events.

IronAjax events: sinon spy to watch 'iron-ajax' on-response event connected with pubsub callback.
jQuery ajax: PubSub.subscribe and PubSub.publish works directly with async jQuery calls. But a nicer way is to return the jQuery ajax result as a Deferred object - ideal for unit testing using done/fail promise chains.

Tests can be run on: http://localhost:5000/test/

Updated login tests as the username form is now a shared element.
Unit test issue with getting postcard data with image attachments. Somehow the image attachments are causing the test to fail.

At the minute Polymer tests are run from localhost - http://localhost:5000/test/

But another thing to look at is configuring wct command (which launches the Selenium driver) - but it uses it's own server running on port 2000 so I would need to tie it into our jxcore localhost server running express server on port 5000. (NB: Safari also requires the Selenium SafariDriver extension to run tests - https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=7933#c23) Related posts: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33506850/how-can-i-replace-the-server-in-web-component-tester
