dispatch:phantomjs-tests

This package exports a startPhantom function for server code, which runs your client tests within a PhantomJS page. Meteor test driver packages can depend on this package. See the example implementation here: https://github.com/DispatchMe/meteor-mocha-phantomjs

Usage

In your test driver package package.js file, add

1api.use('dispatch:phantomjs-tests@0.0.1', 'server');

Then in your server code, do something similar to this:

1import { startPhantom } from 'meteor/dispatch:phantomjs-tests';
2
3function start() {
4  startPhantom({
5    stdout(data) {
6      console.log(data.toString());
7    },
8    stderr(data) {
9      console.log(data.toString());
10    },
11    done(failureCount) {
12      // Your code to run when client tests are done running
13    },
14  });
15}
16
17export { start };

And in your client code, you need to set some properties on window so that the PhantomJS script knows what is happening:

1// Run the client tests. Meteor calls the `runTests` function exported by
2// the driver package on the client.
3function runTests() {
4  // These `window` properties are all used by the phantomjs script to
5  // know what is happening.
6  window.testsAreRunning = true;
7  mocha.run((failures) => {
8    window.testsAreRunning = false;
9    window.testFailures = failures;
10    window.testsDone = true;
11  });
12}
13
14export { runTests };
