- turn scope into a $rootScope service.
- injector is now a starting point for creating angular application.
- added inject() method which wraps jasmine its/beforeEach/afterEach,
and which allows configuration and injection of services.
- refactor tests to use inject() where possible
BREAK:
- removed angular.scope() method
- Speed improvements (about 4x on flush phase)
- Memory improvements (uses no function closures)
- Break $eval into $apply, $dispatch, $flush
- Introduced $watch and $observe
Breaks angular.equals() use === instead of ==
Breaks angular.scope() does not take parent as first argument
Breaks scope.$watch() takes scope as first argument
Breaks scope.$set(), scope.$get are removed
Breaks scope.$config is removed
Breaks $route.onChange callback has not "this" bounded
the flag must be in all src and test files so that we get the benefit of
running in the strict mode even in jstd
the following script was used to modify all files:
for file in `find src test -name "*.js"`; do
echo -e "'use strict';\n" > temp.txt
cat $file >> temp.txt
mv temp.txt $file
done
- By default the runner now creates multiple output formats as it runs. Nodes are created in the DOM with ids: json, xml, and html.
ex. $('#json').html() => json output of the runner
ex. $('#xml').html() => json output of the runner
$result is also an object tree result.
The permitted formats are html,json,xml,object.
If you don't want certain formats you can select specific ones with the new ng:scenario-output attribute on the script tag.
<script src="angular-scenario.js" ng:scenario-output="xml,json">
- Added element(...).count() that returns the number of matching elements for the selector.
- repeater(...).count() now returns 0 if no elements matched which can be used to check if a repeater is empty.
- Added toBe() matcher that does strict equality with ===
- Implement iit and ddescribe. If iit() is used instead of it() then only that test will run. If ddescribe() is used instead of describe() them only it() statements inside of it will run. Several iit/ddescribe() blocks can be used to run isolated tests.
- Implement new event based model for SpecRunner. You can now listen for events in the runner. This is useful for writing your own UI or connecting a remote process (ex. WebDriver). Event callbacks execute on the Runner instance.
Events, if fired, will always be in the below order. All events always happen
except for Failure and Error events which only happen in error conditions.
Events:
RunnerBegin
SpecBegin(spec)
StepBegin(spec, step)
StepError(spec, step, error)
StepFailure(spec, step, error)
StepEnd(spec, step)
SpecError(spec, step, error)
SpecEnd(spec)
RunnerEnd
- Only allow the browser to repaint every 10 steps. Cuts 700ms off Firefox in benchmark, 200ms off Chrome.
- Bug Fix: Manually navigate anchors on click since trigger wont work in Firefox.
Polish the Scenario Runner UI to include:
- a scroll pane that steps appear in since the list can be very long
- Collapse successful tests
- Show the line where the DSL statements were when there's an error (Chrome, Firefox)
Also:
- Remove lots angular.bind calls to reduce the amount of stack space used.
- Use setTimeout(...,0) to schedule the next future to let the browser breathe and have it repaint the steps. Also prevents overflowing the stack when an it() creates many futures.
- Run afterEach() handlers even if the it() block fails.
- Make navigateTo() take a function as the second argument so you can compute a URL in the future.
- Add wait() DSL statement to allow interactive debugging of tests.
- Allow custom jQuery selectors with element(...).query(fn) DSL statement.
Known Issues:
- All afterEach() handlers run even if a beforeEach() handler fails. Only after handlers for the same level as the failure and above should run.
- "this" always means the current chain scope inside a DSL
- addFutureAction callbacks now take ($window, $document, done)
- $document has a special method elements() that uses the currently selected nodes in the document as defined by using() statements.
- $document.elements() allows placeholder insertion into selectors to make them more readable.
ex. $document.elements('input[name="$1"]', myVar) will substitute the value of myVar for $1 in the selector. Subsequent arguments are $2 and so on.
- $document.elements() results have a special method trigger(event) which should be used to events. This method implements some hacks to make sure browser UI controls update and the correct angular events fire.
- futures now allow custom formatting. By default any chain that results in a future can use toJson() or fromJson() to convert the future value to and from json. A custom parser can be provided with parsedWith(fn) where fn is a callback(value) that must return the parsed result.
Note: The entire widgets.html UI is now able to be controlled and asserted through DSL statements!!! Victory! :)
