Upayavira updated SOLR-8473:
----------------------------
Description:
The Solr UI has no tests. This is less than ideal. This ticket is aimed at
facilitating discussion around such a test framework for unit testing
components within the Angular UI.
Having a unit testing framework will encourage developers of the UI to make
more modular, and thus hopefully cleaner, code, as well as providing a means to
identify regressions.
The test framework I am proposing is a Karma/Jasmine combination. Karma runs
the tests, Jasmine provides a BDD style framework for expressing the tests.
Karma and Jasmine can be installed via npm. This would add npm as a dependency
for the Lucene/Solr build process, at least at release time.
Karma runs its tests within a browser. I will use, by default, Chrome. This is
a bigger deal, as it will make our tests dependent upon a UI layer, such as X
on Unix.
I have looked into PhantomJS which is essentially the Javascript portion of a
browser, but without the UI dependency, this would appear a much better
solution for the headless scenario, however, I have as yet to get it to work
(on MacOS). My next task would be to try it in a Linux VM.
