Comment(by josipl): I agree with David-Sarah that Windmill, in the long run, is better option.[[BR]] It probably is a bit overkill for simpler tests, but assertion module from node.js just can't cover all of the functionality - with node.js one can't test the actual UI part since there is no DOM API provided by default. [http://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom Module] which provides DOM API exists but is far from [http://www.devcomments.com/Node-js-YUI-3-Dom-Manipulation-Oh- My-i24506.htm complete] and it has dependencies on other modules/tools, and thus I'm not sure if introducing all these dependencies is worth the trouble. On the other hand, Windmill runs the tests directly in the browser and thus allows testing every aspect of app's functionality. Also, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHBBtf3nKRQ Windmill's IDE] seems like an rather excellent tool. -- Ticket URL: <http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/1001#comment:5> tahoe-lafs <http://allmydata.org> secure decentralized file storage grid _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@allmydata.org http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
