I am working on a project where the Javascript is becoming more complex, and needs to be tested as part of our automated build.
Now I have got a project structure like shown below:
- root
|- build.xml
|- tools
|- js-test-driver
|- js-test-driver.js
|- js-test-driver.conf
|- src
|- code
|- projectname.web
|- assets
|- javascript
|- my-javascript-files.js
|- tests
|- projectname.javascript
|- my-javascript-tests.js
In my Nant build I kick off Java using then pass it the js-test-driver.js file, with the arguments to use the config file provided. Now I noticed that when I was running it that its config file paths seem to be relative to the js-test-driver directory, not the project root directory.
I didnt think this was an issue, and just put the following in my config file:
server: http://localhost:9876
load:
- ../../src/code/projectname.web/assets/javascript/*.js
- ../../src/tests/projectname.javascript/*.js
Now if I run my task in Nant, it starts up the test driver (in Firefox currently) fine but just fails, saying that it cannot find any tests to run, but the thing which I find confusing is that it lists the test directory as:
tests/../../src/tests/projectname.javascript/*.js
And I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is putting this "tests/" before everything... If i put ../../../ in to negate this seemingly hardcoded tests dir, it tells me that the path is not in a valid pattern.
Anyone else had anything similar or know where I am going wrong?
