JavaScript unit tests in Eclipse

Anybody knows what's currently the most popular tool for javascript unit testing?

While figuring this out, I made up a simple javascript unit tests integration with Eclipse to easily run precious tests from my favourite environment :-)

Unit tests are simple objects with functions to test and there's a couple of JUnit-style assertions. I wonder if the above view could be integrated with some real JS unit test tool.

    There's JsUnit (http://www.jsunit.net/), jsTest (http://thinkpond.org/articles/2008/jstest-intro.shtml) and JsTestDriver (http://misko.hevery.com/2009/12/04/there-are-lots-of-ways-to-tests-your-javascript-but-there-is-only-one-jstestdriver/)

    Nice one Jacek!

    Does this plugin run with ATF's or/and WTP's implementations? I think of a nice product to host this plugin ;)

    For pure JavaScript and Eclipse integration there's one I use in the e4 repo -- org.eclipse.e4.languages.javascript.junit.

    It really is just providing a specialized TestCase and using Rhino and JUnit under the covers and does not handle one clicking on a unit test to take you to source. With that said its very fast and works well enough for me and I've used it for 100s of tests.

    Small off topic: is that Mac? :)

Drawing in Graphiti

Image
It seems Eclipse Graphiti is really popular lately. Germany is using it to build cars, Engineers in India are getting to speed with it as well. Finally I made a try as well and fell in love with the simple APIs and helpful docs. The only thing that struck me is that most diagram editors out there are used mostly to draw just boxes and connections between them. Is that really all you can do!?!?? Ok so you here's what I did, a simple drawing tool in Graphiti: Click below to see it in action! And Fork it on Github Youtube video:

Extending Eclipse Orion

Image
Yesterday Eclipse E4 team announced Orion - an experimental Eclipse Web IDE. There's plenty of information about the project on Orion wiki . Orion is a set of JavaScript and HTTP APIs that simplify common development part of rich applications, like file storage, preferences, authentication, dialogs, selection. Since it's coming from Eclipse, Orion is skewed towards IDE development, so from start it also includes text editor with some decent features, like JavaScript syntax highlighting and JSLint integration. The project may go towards strengthening it's JS IDE feature set, as well as enhancing it's core side - extensibility, client APIs ...or do it all at once. In any case it's going to be fascinating journey! So how to extend Orion? One can re-implement existing HTTP API in language other than Java; add more HTTP APIs, e.g. for task management, calendar, etc. Same with JavaScript API - it seems fairly easy to add more. Looking at this from classic Eclipse adopter...
