**WARNING - WARNING - WARNING**
===============================

[](#warning---warning---warning)

When I wrote this the intention was to release an example of integration between PhantomJS, Maven and Jasmine. I had no desire to maintain another project, and I find it surprising how many refer to this as one.

Use this as inspiration, and then take off your way. I have closed the Issue Tracker.

*P.S.: Yes, I should have probably released this as a Gist instead...*

PhantomJS - Jasmine XML - Example Project Layout
================================================

[](#phantomjs---jasmine-xml---example-project-layout)

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This is an example project layout, that realises JavaScript Unit Testing using [Jasmine](https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine) on the top of [PhantomJS](https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs).

It is designed to be used *standalone* or *within Maven*.

Should work properly with **PhantomJS version `>=2.2.0`**.

Use Standalone
--------------

[](#use-standalone)

```
$ phantomjs test/phantomjs_jasminexml_runner.js test/test_runner.html xml_output_dir/

```

This will produce a set of XML outputs, one for every Jasmine Test Suite.

Use within Maven
----------------

[](#use-within-maven)

The project *already* provides a `pom.xml` that does the trick. So a simple:

```
$ mvn test

```

or

```
$ mvn clean install

```

will launch the tests and, if they all pass, make the mvn build pass. If any test fails, the mvn build fails.

Internals
---------

[](#internals)

Well, explaining the internals of PhantomJS here is pointless, but to understand how this works, you need to understand a simple idea: PhantomJS provides a main "Javascript Context" from within which, the user is able to *spawn* a WebPage, effectively creating another "Javascript Context".

The new context has the following characteristics:

- **isolated** - the page doesn't know anything about phantom and phantom API
- **controllable** - the main phantom context provides API to control/influence the page context

### So, how does it work?

[](#so-how-does-it-work)

The *magic* is done by 2 scripts:

```
test/phantomjs_jasminexml_runner.js
test/lib/jasmine-reporters/jasmine.phantomjs-reporter.js

```

`jasmine.phantomjs-reporter.js` is a *plugin* for Jasmine that saves the result of the tests at the bottom of the webpage where the test runs.

`phantomjs_jasminexml_runner.js` instead runs the show, launches the tests, extracts the result from the page, then saves it to the directory passed (see source).

**Happy Testing ;-)**
