Usage

buster-win will execute all tests in a folder, matching a specified pattern.

• Create a folder for your tests. Example: "test".

Inside that folder create the following:

test/
    buster.js
    index.js
    first-test.js
    second-test.js

• A file "index.js" with the code below.

require('buster-win').execute(__dirname);

• A "buster.js" config file.

var config = module.exports;
 
config["Node tests"] = {
    environment: "node",
    tests: [
        "**/*-test.js"
    ]
};
 
config["Browser tests"] = {
    environment: "browser",
    rootPath: "../",
    sources: [
        "lib/mylib.js", // Paths are relative to config file
        "lib/**/*.js"   // Glob patterns supported
    ],
    tests: [
        "test/*-test.js"
    ]
};

• Tests using busterjs (http://busterjs.org).

var buster = require('buster');
buster.spec.expose();
 
describe("My thing", function () {
    it("has the foo and bar", function () {
        expect("foo").toEqual("bar");
    });
 
    it("states the obvious", function () {
        expect(true).toBe(true);
    });
});

• Run the following command where "test" is the name of the folder containing your tests.

node test

1. Go to the "Run" menu and choose "Edit configurations...".
2. Click on the "+" icon and choose "Node JS".

Node Debugging

To debug Node scripts in WebStorm, simply follow the steps in "Run With WebStorm", but run in configuration in debug mode.

Browser Debugging

To debug Browser script, do the following:

• Add "autoRun: false" to the configuration for the browser test as below.

config["Browser tests"] = {
    autoRun: false,
    environment: "browser",
    rootPath: "../",
    sources: [
        "lib/mylib.js",
        "lib/**/*.js"
    ],
    tests: [
        "test/*-test.js"
    ]
};

• Run the tests normally.
• Open a Browser and go to http://localhost:1111.
