Setting up ember (integration)testing in a Rails project

Things

ember-rails gem.
teaspoon test runner gem. (will use teaspoon-qunit)
phantom js - install gem or the npm version.

3 minutes to setup

Setting up ember in Rails

rails new ember-rails-testing
cd ember-rails-testing

echo "gem 'ember-rails'" >> Gemfile
echo "gem 'ember-source', '1.3.0'" >> Gemfile

bundle

rails g ember:bootstrap -n App
rails g ember:install

rails g home index

config/routes.rb

root "home#index"

app/assets/javascripts/templates/index.hbs

<h2 class="welcome"> Welcome yo! </h2>

Visit localhost:3000 ! Voila :D

Setting up teaspoon for testing

Gonna use rspec for other testing.

Gemfile


group :development, :test do
  gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 3.0.0.beta'
  gem "teaspoon"
end

rails g rspec:install
rm -rf test/
rails g teaspoon:install

Now, you need to configure few things in teaspoon. qunit is my choice for js-testing.

config/initializers/teaspoon.rb

    suite.javascripts = ["teaspoon-qunit"]

And you need to choose the driver or server. In my case i go with phantomjs. Also, I have it installed with npm repo or you could use a gem.

spec/teaspoon_env.rb

  config.driver              = "phantomjs" # available: phantomjs, selenium

Done

Writing integration tests

Now, you could write tests. Check integration_spec and helper spec in the repo. This also has mockjax (downloaded in vendor dir) to mock server requests. Works good yo ;)

Using the repo

git clone ssh://git@github.com/vysakh0/ember-rails-testing.git
cd ember-rails-testing
bundle install
bundle exec teaspoon
