Hi Joshua,

Thanks for the excellent writeup. We we’re able to take this code and run with it to get our js tests running on our CI server.

However, we’ve been plagued by timeout issues when running Watin on top of IE. Has anyone else had similar issues and discovered how to solve them?

Thanks!
Jeremy

@Bayard – That is what we are doing – we use WatiN (a variant of watir) to run the tests, and retrieve the output. The difference is that we do the assertions in NUnit so that each javascript test can be reported independently, instead of the entire page of tests failing or succeeding as one.

As an alternative, what are your thoughts on using a browser automation tool like selenium or watir to run the qUnit tests, and assert that the report contains no failed tests?

Our project doesn’t have any unit tests against the server side code (don’t ask), but we do have a good suite of integration tests.

Hey guys,

There is TestCaseSource attribute in nunit so there is no need anymore in writing new attributes for that purpose.
Sample:

[TestCaseSource("ExecuteTests")]
public void AllQunitTestsShouldPass(TestResult test)
{
….
}

This is good stuff. Just thought I should mention (for anyone else’s benefit) that I tried this with WatiN 1.3 and had all kinds of problems (had to make minor changes to make it compile, but then it still didn’t work). It all worked with the WatiN 2.0 CTP.

Excellent. Will be using this (or a variation of) in anger I’m sure.
