A small AngularJS Jasmine test executed by KarmaJS

When I try to understand how a particular technology works I always like to create a simple test case with a small number of moving parts.

This post shows such example for an AngularJS page, a Jasmine test, a NodeJS web server and a KarmaJS execution cycle.

The files used/customised were based on the KarmaJS test/e2e/angular-scenario example:

Let's look at each file's contents and what they do

1) angular.min.js is the latest version of AngularJS

2) index.html is a simple AngularJS example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org" id="ng-app" ng-app>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">  
  <title>Sample Angular App</title>
  <script src="angular.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <div>
    <label>Name:</label>
    <input type="text" ng-model="yourName" placeholder="Enter a name here">
    <hr>
    <h1>Hello {{yourName}}!</h1>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

3) karma.conf.js is a reduced to the normal KarmaJS config file

module.exports = function(karma) 
    {
        karma.configure(
              {
                  // generic
                frameworks    : ['ng-scenario'],                        
                urlRoot        : '/__karma/',        
                autoWatch    : true,                                
                plugins     : ['karma-ng-scenario'],
                
                //project specific
                proxies        : { '/': 'http://localhost:8000/'},                            
                files        : ['singleTest.js'],
                
                //run specific                
                singleRun : true,                
            });
    };

4) singleTest.js checks if AngularJS is working as expected

/** A Sample Angular E2E test */

describe('SimpleTest', function() {
   
  it('A small Angular Test', function() {
    browser().navigateTo('/index.html');
    input('yourName').enter('A Pirate!');
    expect(element('.ng-binding').text()).toEqual('Hello A Pirate!!');
  });    
});

5) server.js is a working Web NodeJS server (also reduced for easier reading):

var sys = require('sys'),
    http = require('http'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    url = require('url'),
    events = require('events');

var DEFAULT_PORT = 8000;

function main(argv) {
  new HttpServer({
    'GET': createServlet(StaticServlet),
    'HEAD': createServlet(StaticServlet)
  }).start(Number(argv[2]) || DEFAULT_PORT);
}

function escapeHtml(value) {
  return value.toString().
    replace('<', '&lt;').
    replace('>', '&gt').
    replace('"', '&quot;');
}

function createServlet(Class) {
  var servlet = new Class();
  return servlet.handleRequest.bind(servlet);
}

/**
 * An Http server implementation that uses a map of methods to decide
 * action routing.
 *
 * @param {Object} Map of method => Handler function
 */
function HttpServer(handlers) {
  this.handlers = handlers;
  this.server = http.createServer(this.handleRequest_.bind(this));
}

HttpServer.prototype.start = function(port) {
  this.port = port;
  this.server.listen(port);
  sys.puts('Http Server running at http://127.0.0.1:' + port + '/');
};

HttpServer.prototype.parseUrl_ = function(urlString) {
  var parsed = url.parse(urlString);
  parsed.pathname = url.resolve('/', parsed.pathname);
  return url.parse(url.format(parsed), true);
};

HttpServer.prototype.handleRequest_ = function(req, res) {
  var logEntry = req.method + ' ' + req.url;
  if (req.headers['user-agent']) {
    logEntry += ' ' + req.headers['user-agent'];
  }
  sys.puts(logEntry);
  req.url = this.parseUrl_(req.url);
  var handler = this.handlers[req.method];
  if (!handler) {
    res.writeHead(501);
    res.end();
  } else {
    handler.call(this, req, res);
  }
};

/**
 * Handles static content.
 */
function StaticServlet() {}

StaticServlet.MimeMap = {
  'txt': 'text/plain',
  'html': 'text/html',
  'css': 'text/css',
  'xml': 'application/xml',
  'json': 'application/json',
  'js': 'application/javascript',
  'jpg': 'image/jpeg',
  'jpeg': 'image/jpeg',
  'gif': 'image/gif',
  'png': 'image/png',
  'manifest': 'text/cache-manifest'
};

StaticServlet.prototype.handleRequest = function(req, res) {
  var self = this;
  var path = ('./' + req.url.pathname).replace('//','/').replace(/%(..)/g, function(match, hex){
    return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(hex, 16));
  });
  var parts = path.split('/'); 

  fs.stat(path, function(err, stat) {
    if (err)
      return self.sendMissing_(req, res, path);
    return self.sendFile_(req, res, path);
  });
};

StaticServlet.prototype.sendFile_ = function(req, res, path) {
  var self = this;
  var file = fs.createReadStream(path);
  res.writeHead(200, {
    // CSP headers, uncomment to enable CSP
    //"X-WebKit-CSP": "default-src 'self';",
    //"X-Content-Security-Policy": "default-src 'self'",
    'Content-Type': StaticServlet.
      MimeMap[path.split('.').pop()] || 'text/plain'
  });
  if (req.method === 'HEAD') {
    res.end();
  } else {
    file.on('data', res.write.bind(res));
    file.on('close', function() {
      res.end();
    });
    file.on('error', function(error) {
      self.sendError_(req, res, error);
    });
  }
};

StaticServlet.prototype.sendError_ = function(req, res, error) {
  res.writeHead(500, {
      'Content-Type': 'text/html'
  });
  res.write('<!doctype html>\n');
  res.write('<title>Internal Server Error</title>\n');
  res.write('<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>');
  res.write('<pre>' + escapeHtml(sys.inspect(error)) + '</pre>');
  sys.puts('500 Internal Server Error');
  sys.puts(sys.inspect(error));
};

StaticServlet.prototype.sendMissing_ = function(req, res, path) {
  path = path.substring(1);
  res.writeHead(404, {
      'Content-Type': 'text/html'
  });
  res.write('<!doctype html>\n');
  res.write('<title>404 Not Found</title>\n');
  res.write('<h1>Not Found</h1>');
  res.write(
    '<p>The requested URL ' +
    escapeHtml(path) +
    ' was not found on this server.</p>'
  );
  res.end();
  sys.puts('404 Not Found: ' + path);
};

// Must be last,
main(process.argv);

To see this in action

1) start the web server using start node server.js

2) start karma with karma start karma.confi.js

3) on a local browser open http://localhost:9876/__karma which will execute the test

Since we have singleRun set to true (in karma.conf.js), the karma process ends after each execution, which means that the captured browsers will go into a ‘wait state’ (i.e. waiting for another karma server to come back to life)

4) notice that back in karma, the tests executed ok:

So here it is, a petty small example of a really powerful combination of technologies (and UnitTests workflows)

NOTE: while creating this post, I wrote an O2 Platform C# script to help

this script created a nice integrated test UI

Which allowed me to (in the same window) make changes and see its impact

C# script of UI shown above

var topPanel = "PoC - Karma and Angular run".popupWindow(1200,700);
//var topPanel = panel.clear().add_Panel();
//var textBox = topPanel.clear().add_RichTextBox();
var codeDir  = @"E:\_Code_Tests\AngularJS\angular-scenario";
var karma      = @"C:\Users\o2\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\karma\bin\karma";

var testPage = "http://localhost:8000/index.html";            
var testRunner = "http://localhost:9876/__karma/";

var karmaConfig = codeDir.pathCombine("karma.conf.js");
var serverConfig = codeDir.pathCombine("server.js");
var unitTestFile = codeDir.pathCombine("e2eSpec.js");

Process karmaProcess = null;

Action startWebServer = 
    ()=>{
            Processes.startProcessAndRedirectIO("node", serverConfig,codeDir,(line)=>line.info());            
        };
        
Action runKarma = 
    ()=>{
            Action<string> consoleOut = 
                (consoleLine)=>  consoleLine.info(); //textBox.append_Line(consoleLine);
            
            var command = "start \"{0}\" ".format(karmaConfig);
            karmaProcess = "node".startProcess("\"" + karma + "\" " + command, consoleOut);            
        };

if (testPage.GET().notValid())
{
    "Staring WebServer".info();
    startWebServer();
    1000.wait();
}
var toolStrip           = topPanel.insert_Above_ToolStrip();
var codeEditor_Test   = topPanel.add_SourceCodeEditor();
var ie_UnitTestRunner = codeEditor_Test.insert_Right().add_WebBrowser_with_NavigationBar();
var ie_Site              = ie_UnitTestRunner.insert_Below().add_WebBrowser_with_NavigationBar();
var codeEditor_Config  = codeEditor_Test.insert_Below().add_SourceCodeEditor();

codeEditor_Test.open(unitTestFile);
codeEditor_Config.open(karmaConfig);
ie_Site.open(testPage);
ie_UnitTestRunner.open(testRunner);
toolStrip.add_Button("Run","btExecuteSelectedMethod_Image".formImage(),()=>runKarma());


runKarma();
