There are a ton of modules on npm and github that aren't just for node.js but for browsers too. However, figuring out *which* browsers these modules work with can be tricky. It's often that case that some module used to work in browsers but has accidentally stopped working because the developer hadn't checked that their code still worked recently enough. If you use npm for frontend and backend modules like I do, this can be particularly frustrating.
Announcing testling-ci (http://ci.testling.com) a service for running your browser tests on every commit. Just add a "testling" field to your package.json like this: https://github.com/substack/node-falafel/blob/master/package.json#L41-L50 then add a github webhook for "http://git.testling.com"; and your browser tests will be run on every commit in exactly the browsers you've specified! You get a badge you can put in your readme with the current browser test status like this one: https://github.com/substack/node-falafel#falafel and if you click the badge you go to the test status page: http://ci.testling.com/substack/node-falafel All your tests need to do is output TAP-formatted text output. Many test harnesses already support this format and the protocol is simple enough that you can just console.log() valid output yourself. I recommend using https://github.com/substack/tape to output TAP or I have a testling-ci example using mocha too: https://github.com/substack/mocha-testling-ci-example We'll support many more test harnesses later. Your browser tests can even use node-style require()s bundled with browserify so that you can use exactly the same tests for node and the browser. If your browser tests aren't written the node way you can still run them with the "scripts" field. This service is free for open source modules published to github. If you want to run this service on your private repos, contact pkrumins and I ( http://browserling.com/contact) and we can enroll you in our testling PROFESH edition beta. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
