Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm simply blind, but I can't find this feature.

It would be greatly appreciated if nCrunch could run JS tests. I am presently using Jasmine, one of the best known JS test framework, and I have to run my tests manually elsewhere.

You could look at what R# does, it can run the test in phantomJS, a headless webkit browser. Enabling debugging in phantomJS would be a plus over R# too.

It would be important, I think, that you don't recompile the project before running the JS tests, since it gives no benifits.

I hope to see this feature implemented soon,

Thanks,
Jni

Hi Jni,

Thanks for the suggestion!

As NCrunch is primarily a .NET testing tool, it doesn't yet handle Javascript - although I'm aware that many .NET developers do also work with JS in combination with .NET.

So far this hasn't been implemented, as supporting Javascript would require a complete redevelopment of all of NCrunch's runtime components using Javascript. However, it's been quite heavily requested, so I will be look at this in more detail in future.


Cheers,

Remco

I was thinking about this today, and I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it. Any update on this feature?

Frameworks support that would be nice:

- QUnit
- Mocha
- Jasmine

You could also use a headless browser like, PhantomJS or ZombieJs.

Thanks and I love NCrunch. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Hi, thanks for the feedback!

Still no update on this one. It's a very big feature area and there is a lot in the pipeline so I'm certain that it won't be looked at in detail this year. Perhaps later!

I'm glad you're enjoying NCrunch :)


Cheers,

Remco
