Alternatively, using script/repljs might work. Do you have the tests running a browser window already? If so, I'd love to have a look at how you did that, because I haven't gotten that far yet myself. I'm going to give this another shot soon, because I've learned quite a lot about ClojureScript since I last tried to get testing to work. -fmw > Keep it up > > Tim > > > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 8:53 PM, Filip de Waard <f...@vix.io> wrote: > >> I'm working on Vix, which is a document repository and content >> management system written in Clojure with a CouchDB backend.
