Ember Mocha simplifies unit testing of Ember applications with Mocha by providing Mocha-specific wrappers around the helpers contained in ember-test-helpers.
In order to use Ember Mocha with Ember CLI, please follow the instructions for ember-cli-mocha.
Ember Mocha can also be installed with bower and used directly in any Ember project:
$ bower install ember-mochaYou can then choose to include the global (ember-mocha.js) or AMD
(ember-mocha.amd.js) build when running your tests.
You'll typically want to set a single resolver for your test suite:
import resolver from './helpers/resolver';
import { setResolver } from 'ember-mocha';
setResolver(resolver);If you want to use multiple resolvers in your test suite, you can also
call setResolver in the beforeSetup callback of your test modules.
The describeModule helper can be used to declare a module that can be used
to test any "unit" of your application that can be looked up in a container.
For example, the following is a unit test for the SidebarController:
import {
describeModule,
it
} from 'ember-mocha';
describeModule(
'controller:sidebar',
'SidebarController',
{
// Specify the other units that are required for this test.
// needs: ['controller:foo']
},
function() {
// Replace this with your real tests.
it('exists', function() {
var controller = this.subject();
expect(controller).to.be.ok;
});
}
);The subject is specified as controller:sidebar, which is the key that will
be used to look up this controller in the isolated container that will be
created for this test.
The title, 'SidebarController', will appear in the test runner and is not
strictly necessary. It defaults to the subject if omitted.
The describeComponent helper extends describeModule and provides
additional render and $ helpers within a test's context.
import {
describeComponent,
it
} from 'ember-mocha';
describeComponent(
'gravatar-image',
'GravatarImageComponent',
{
// specify the other units that are required for this test
// needs: ['component:foo', 'helper:bar']
},
function() {
it('renders', function() {
// creates the component instance
var component = this.subject();
expect(component._state).to.equal('preRender');
// renders the component on the page
this.render();
expect(component._state).to.equal('inDOM');
});
}
);The describeModel helper also extends describeModule and provides an
additional store helper within a test's context.
import {
describeModel,
it
} from 'ember-mocha';
describeModel(
'contact',
'Contact',
{
// Specify the other units that are required for this test.
needs: []
},
function() {
// Replace this with your real tests.
it('exists', function() {
var model = this.subject();
// var store = this.store();
expect(model).to.be.ok;
});
}
);Mocha supports asynchronous testing with both promises and callbacks.
describe('it', function() {
it('works with asynchronous tests using callbacks', function(done) {
setTimeout(function() {
expect(true).to.equal(true);
done();
}, 10);
});
it('works with asynchronous tests using promises', function() {
return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function(resolve) {
setTimeout(function() {
expect(true).to.equal(true);
resolve();
}, 10);
});
});
