My vote is on http://visionmedia.github.com/jspec/
To initialize a project just run `jspec init myproject` with –template to switch usage of the Rack server, Rhino terminal usage, or default DOM reporting

@ash when you run “rake test:javascripts” it starts a webrick server on port 4711 or thereabouts. Perhaps sphinx is using that port too? Try changing the port number to something else. If it still has the bind(2) error, it might be that two webricks are running at the same time.

i have used this to test my JavaScript files and it worked but when i run sphinx search engine and run “rake test:javascripts” it says –
=============================

Address already in use – bind(2)
=============================
i am trying to load the content through JavaScript. my rails version is 2.2

Sounds awesome, Nic. I can’t wait to start trying it out this weekend.

I’ve finished the rewrite of unittest – http://drnicjavascript.rubyforge.org/jsunittest/ Its a drop-in replacement for prototypejs’ unittest.js that has no dependencies on prototype.

newjs 1.2.0 uses this now; so run ‘newjs .’ in your project to get this new asset. The generators are updated too.

Also, I’m working on a version of unittest.js that has no dependencies on prototype.js. It will have the same API as prototypejs’s version (it uses prototypejs’ unit_tests.html as one of its functional tests), so the TM bundle will still work.

Note: as far as I’m aware, for BDDers, JSpec (above) also has no dependencies on any other library.

@Phil [via] – initially I suggest forking newjs, adding in the alternate test suite and updating the generators + templates to use this suite. If people like it, then I could merge it in, provide newjs command-line options to select which one (like newgem has a -t option to chose rspec).

I don’t mean to offload work, but I’m sure Yehuda Katz (wycats) is the right man to help with this – he’s worked with RubiGen before thru Merb.

I wonder if we couldn’t see a JSpec version of this at some point. (http://github.com/wycats/jspec/tree/master)
