JasmineTestGenerator

Python program to generate spec files to test a single variable for Jasmine

Requirement

Python 3

How to use this program.

First, Define variables in settings.py. You need to define following variables to use the program:

variable	type	default	explanations
beforeEach	string	''	If you need the beforeEach function, add javascript codes as a string. If not, leave it to be ''.
afterEach	string	''	If you need the afterEach function, add javascript codes as a string. If not, leave it to be ''.
testClass	string	''	The first argument of a describe function.
functionHeaderDict	dictionary	{'default':''}	The argument of a expect function. You can define this variable for each testcase category.
toEqualDict	dictionary	{'default':''}	The argument of a toEqual function. You can define this variable for each testcase category.
variableName	string	''	The name of the variable you want to test.
included	array	[ ]	The array of testcase category names you want to include in a test.
accepted	array	[ ]	The array of testcase category names you want to accept in a test.

For example, with 2 testcases,

beforeEach = "email = undefined;\n    console.log('new test');"
afterEach = "console.log('A test is over!');"

testClass = 'Email'

variableName = 'email'

included = ['number', 'good email']
accepted = ['good email']
functionHeaderDict = {'all':'validateEmail(email)'}
toEqualDict = {'accepted':'true', 'rejected':'false'}

These values produce the following tests:

describe('Email', function() {
  var email;

  beforeEach(function() {
    email = undefined;
    console.log('new test');
  });

  afterEach(function() {
    console.log('A test is over!');
  });

  it('should reject number', function() {
    email = 123456;
    expect(validateEmail(email)).toEqual(false);
  });

  it('should accept good email', function() {
    email = 'myemail@gmail.com';
    expect(validateEmail(email)).toEqual(true);
  });

});

Second, place generateAndRunATest.py, settings.py and testcases.py in the same folder as SpecRunner.html in the default Jasmine file hierarchy. The program make a directory of the same name as variableName and place a spec file there. If this is a problem, rename the existing directory.

Thrid, place your test data in testcases.py. Each line in the file contains a category of an input and the input itself, which are separated by a comma. For example, 2 testcases for the example above are:

number, 123456
good email, myemail@gmail.com

Forth, open a terminal in the directory of this program

Fifth, type "python generateAndRunATest.py"

Sixth, open SpecRunner.html in your browser.
