Site

JsUnit exists now of different modules build with Maven 2. Therefore better site documentation can be generated easier. Migrate old content to apt format.

History of JsUnit

Version 1.2

2006-06-06: More compliance to JUnit

A lot of internal work has be done. The changes of JUnit 3.8.1 have been integrated and JsUnit is running quite smoothly for JScript, SpiderMonkey, Rhino and KJSCmd. Also the new documentation script works fine.

New Features

Test is an interface now (conforming with JUnit), TestCase and TestSuite implement this interface
Assert supports member functions assertSame, assertTrue and assertFalse
TestSuite supports member function addTestSuite
TestResult supports member function removeListener and runProtected
Support of class ResultPrinter
BaseTestRunner supports preferences
Interface Protectable supported
Support conforming Error object hierarchy
Alternative interface design contract by Function.fulfills
New script for document generation recognizes functions and classes directly
Support of the JUnit extension classes
Changes of JUnit 3.8.1 and new classes migrated to JsUnit
Special support in Assert.assertEquals comparing Strings or match a RegExp against a string
New utility class JsUtil and enhanced CallStack API
New utility class hierarchy PrinterWriter
Special HTML support with HTMLWriterFilter
Deprecated CtxRunner and NSServerRunner in favor of a more generic solution using a TextTestRunner and the new CtxWriter/NSServerWriter

Design Changes

JsUnit uses standard object model
TestSuite supports again strings as name
CallStack.js has been renamed to JsUtil.js
Support of Array.push and Array.pop at all systems
TestSuites for complete test files provided
TestSuite needs now a TextCase object as argument
TestRunner renamed to BaseTestRunner according to JUnit
Call base class always with explicit name
Name of fixtures are prepended with the name of the TestCase
Native report format equals now JUnit. Old format supported by class ClassicReportPrinter
Use TextTestRunner.prototype.main to call
Use own Error class hierarchy since ECMA standard does not guarantee consistent behavior deriving from system classes

Bug Fixes

Added BerliOS reference to project documentation
Added test code for constructors
HTML output of exceptions
Expression 'this.constructor' does not refer direct base class

Version 1.1
