CasperJS comes with a basic testing suite that allows you to run full featured tests without the overhead of a full browser. Output the tests to xunit for long term code health as well.
casper.test.begin('Hello, Test!', 1, function(test) {
test.assert(true);
test.done();
});
$ casperjs test sample-test.js
Test file: sample-test.js
# Hello, Test!
PASS Subject is strictly true
PASS 1 test executed in 0.023s, 1 passed, 0 failed, 0 dubious, 0 skipped.
Capture data from web pages simply that don't contain APIs. Validate your production environment on a regular basis. Alternatively, use this to load your application with data.
var casper = require('casper').create();
var links;
function getLinks() {
// Scrape the links from top-right nav of the website
var links = document.querySelectorAll('ul.navigation li a');
return Array.prototype.map.call(links, function (e) {
return e.getAttribute('href')
});
}
// Opens casperjs homepage
casper.start('http://casperjs.org/');
casper.then(function () {
links = this.evaluate(getLinks);
});
casper.run(function () {
for(var i in links) {
console.log(links[i]);
}
casper.done();
});
