Question about jqUnit for non-kettle apps...

[Tony Atkins]

Hi, All:

To partially answer my own question, if I just start with the node-jqUnit
documentation <https://github.com/fluid-project/node-jqUnit>, I can do what
I need as illustrated in this example:

var fluid = require("infusion");
>
> var jqUnit = fluid.require("jqUnit");
>
> var setup = 0;
>
>
>> console.log("setup");
>
> var setup = 1;
>
>
>> jqUnit.module("Search API Tests");
>
>
>> jqUnit.onAllTestsDone.addListener(function() {
>
>     var setup = -1;
>
>     console.log("teardown");
>
> });
>
>
>> jqUnit.test("My test case", function() {
>
>         jqUnit.assertEquals("Setup has been run, but shutdown has not.",
>> setup, 1);
>
>     }
>
> );
>

The setup is done synchronously ahead of time and the teardown is executed
after all tests are run.  I would still like to know what can be safely
inserted into the testDef sequence used by the fluid test runner, and how
to avoid running kettle, but for now I can at least write my tests.

Cheers,



Tony
