modified: 201304251659 tags: docs dev title: TestingMechanism TiddlyWiki5 incorporates the Jasmine JavaScript testing framework (see http://pivotal.github.io/jasmine/). It allows the same tests to be run both in the browser and under node.js. ! TiddlyWiki5 Testing Components There are two main elements to the TiddlyWiki5 testing mechanism: * The plugin `tiddlywiki/jasmine` that wraps Jasmine up into a plugin along with some glue code * The TiddlyWiki5 edition `test` that contains the core test specifications and includes the Jasmine plugin ! Running the Tests in node.js To run the tests under node.js just load up the `test` wiki: ``` node ./tiddlywiki.js \ ./editions/test \ ``` ! Running the Tests in the Browser To generate a wiki containing the browser tests load up the `test` wiki and save it as an HTML file: ``` node ./tiddlywiki.js \ ./editions/test \ --verbose \ --rendertiddler $:/core/templates/tiddlywiki5.template.html $TW5_BUILD_OUTPUT/test.html text/plain \ ``` Then, open the `test.html` file in the browser to see the test results. There is a prebuilt version of `test.html` at: http://five.tiddlywiki.com/test.html
