jvTest

A simple testing framework for scripts produced in the jvInterpreter. Inspired by Jasmine.

Installation

To install jvTest, simply combine the Edit Scripts folder in the repository with whatever directory is holding the scripts to be executed within your jvInterpreter environment.

With xEdit

As an example, xEdit script developers should combine the Edit Scripts folder with xEdit's Edit Scripts folder.

Other environments

For other environments, you'll want to make sure you have the jvInterpreter set up properly. See the JEDI Visual Component Library repository on GitHub.

Usage

Feel free to check out the example script to get an idea of how to use jvTest.

Quick run-down

• Always initialize jvTest before testing with jvtInitialize;
• When you have a group of tests to perform, use the Describe(string) function to inform the framework that you're in a group of tests.
• Wrap all your tests in a try-except block, with Pass; being the last line of code in the try, and on x: Exception do Fail(x) for the exception handler (you can expand the exception handler for tear-down as necessary).
• You can use Expect(boolean, string) or ExpectEqual(Variant, Variant, string) to test results
• You can print a report of the tests performed before finalizing jvTest with jvtPrintReport;
• Always finalize jvTest when done testing with jvtFinalize;
