Upayavira commented on SOLR-8473:
---------------------------------
Those are the kind of issues I want to discuss here. It seems that the
dependency is just one of downloading the newest Node, and all other
dependencies are pulled in via npm, so it isn't quite as bad as I first
expected.
Seeking the least invasive way to implement these tests, running them
automatically on Jenkins and manually before all UI commits would seem quite
reasonable.
> Test Framework for Unit Testing Angular UI
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SOLR-8473
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8473
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: web gui
> Affects Versions: 5.4
> Reporter: Upayavira
> Assignee: Upayavira
>
> The Solr UI has no tests. This is less than ideal. This ticket is aimed at
> facilitating discussion around such a test framework for unit testing
> components within the Angular UI.
> Having a unit testing framework will encourage developers of the UI to make
> more modular, and thus hopefully cleaner, code, as well as providing a means
> to identify regressions.
> The test framework I am proposing is a Karma/Jasmine combination. Karma runs
> the tests, Jasmine provides a BDD style framework for expressing the tests.
> Karma and Jasmine can be installed via npm. This would add npm as a
> dependency for the Lucene/Solr build process, at least at release time.
> Karma runs its tests within a browser. I will use, by default, Chrome. This
> is a bigger deal, as it will make our tests dependent upon a UI layer, such
> as X on Unix.
> I have looked into PhantomJS which is essentially the Javascript portion of a
> browser, but without the UI dependency, this would appear a much better
> solution for the headless scenario, however, I have as yet to get it to work
> (on MacOS). My next task would be to try it in a Linux VM.
