I tried to maka a QUnit async test for checking ajax update.
I read of QUnit.asyncTest here
https://www.sitepoint.com/test-asynchronous-code-qunit/
but if i try this i get a
TypeError: QUnit.asyncTest is not a function
thats the complete source: https://gist.github.com/232457b002e5363439aece7535600356
of course i new by using QUnit and used JavaScript not for long time.
that a snippet of the part where the error happens:
function max() {
var max = -Infinity;
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
if (arguments[i] > max) {
max = arguments[i];
}
}
return max;
}
// https://www.sitepoint.com/test-asynchronous-code-qunit/
//TypeError: QUnit.asyncTest is not a function
QUnit.asyncTest('max', function (assert) {
expect(1);
window.setTimeout(function() {
assert.strictEqual(max(3, 1, 2), 3, 'All positive numbers');
QUnit.start();
}, 0);
});
this test gives no syntax error but gives old date:
QUnit.test('usersInnerHTMLlength_Is24', function(assert) {
// problem: this not reads the updates done by ajax. means that are old data:
let innerHTMLlength = $("#users").html().toString().length;
assert.equal(innerHTMLlength, 24);
});
May its not possible to check ajax with QUnit? I thougt this when i have read here: QUnit testing AJAX calls
I use it inside a Wordpress Plugin
That sitepoint article is very old (by web standards). You'll need to use the newer syntax found on the documentation website:
function someAsyncThing(value) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
setTimeout(function() {
if (value > 5) {
resolve(value);
} else {
reject(new Error("bad value"));
}
}, 500);
});
}
QUnit.test( "some async thing success test", function( assert ) {
// This is what tells QUnit the test is asynchronous
// "done" here will be a callback function used later
var done = assert.async();
// Now call your Async code, passing in a callback...
someAsyncThing(10)
.then(function(result) {
// do your assertions once the async function ends...
assert.equal(result, 10)
// Now tell QUnit you're all done with the test
done();
})
// we can pass the "done" callback from above into catch() to force a test failure
.catch(done);
});
QUnit.test( "some async thing FAILURE test", function( assert ) {
var done = assert.async();
someAsyncThing(4)
.then(function() {
done(new Error("we should NOT succeed with a value < 5"));
})
.catch(function(err) {
assert.equal(err.message, "bad value")
});
});
