find (selector) Object public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:294

selector

String

jQuery string selector for element lookup

returns

Object

jQuery object representing the results of the query

Finds an element in the context of the app's container element. A simple alias for app.$(selector).

findWithAssert (selector) Object public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:311

injectTestHelpers public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:401

This injects the test helpers into the helperContainer object. If an object is provided it will be used as the helperContainer. If helperContainer is not set it will default to window. If a function of the same name has already been defined it will be cached (so that it can be reset if the helper is removed with unregisterHelper or removeTestHelpers).

Any callbacks registered with onInjectHelpers will be called once the helpers have been injected.

Example:

1

App.injectTestHelpers();

keyEvent (selector, type, keyCode) RSVP.Promise public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:253

Available since v1.5.0

selector

String

jQuery selector for finding element on the DOM

type

String

the type of key event, e.g. `keypress`, `keydown`, `keyup`

keyCode

Number

the keyCode of the simulated key event

returns

RSVP.Promise

Simulates a key event, e.g. keypress, keydown, keyup with the desired keyCode

Example:

1
2
3

keyEvent('.some-jQuery-selector', 'keypress', 13).then(function() {
 // assert something
});

onInjectHelpers (callback) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:138

callback

Function

The function to be called.

Used to register callbacks to be fired whenever App.injectTestHelpers is called.

The callback will receive the current application as an argument.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Ember.Test.onInjectHelpers(function() {
  Ember.$(document).ajaxSend(function() {
    Test.pendingAjaxRequests++;
  });

  Ember.$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
    Test.pendingAjaxRequests--;
  });
});

pauseTest Object public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:417

Available since v1.9.0

returns

Object

A promise that will never resolve

Pauses the current test - this is useful for debugging while testing or for test-driving. It allows you to inspect the state of your application at any point.

Example (The test will pause before clicking the button):

1
2
3
4

visit('/')
return pauseTest();

click('.btn');

promise (resolver, label) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:166

resolver

Function

The function used to resolve the promise.

label

String

An optional string for identifying the promise.

This returns a thenable tailored for testing. It catches failed onSuccess callbacks and invokes the Ember.Test.adapter.exception callback in the last chained then.

This method should be returned by async helpers such as wait.

registerAsyncHelper (name, helperMethod) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:73

Available since v1.2.0

name

String

The name of the helper method to add.

helperMethod

Function

registerAsyncHelper is used to register an async test helper that will be injected when App.injectTestHelpers is called.

The helper method will always be called with the current Application as the first parameter.

For example:

1
2
3

Ember.Test.registerAsyncHelper('boot', function(app) {
  Ember.run(app, app.advanceReadiness);
});

The advantage of an async helper is that it will not run until the last async helper has completed. All async helpers after it will wait for it complete before running.

For example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

Ember.Test.registerAsyncHelper('deletePost', function(app, postId) {
  click('.delete-' + postId);
});

// ... in your test
visit('/post/2');
deletePost(2);
visit('/post/3');
deletePost(3);

registerHelper (name, helperMethod, options) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:36

name

String

The name of the helper method to add.

helperMethod

Function

options

Object

registerHelper is used to register a test helper that will be injected when App.injectTestHelpers is called.

The helper method will always be called with the current Application as the first parameter.

For example:

1
2
3

Ember.Test.registerHelper('boot', function(app) {
  Ember.run(app, app.advanceReadiness);
});

This helper can later be called without arguments because it will be called with app as the first parameter.

1
2
3

App = Ember.Application.create();
App.injectTestHelpers();
boot();

registerWaiter (context, callback) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:220

Available since v1.2.0

context

Object

(optional)

callback

Function

This allows ember-testing to play nicely with other asynchronous events, such as an application that is waiting for a CSS3 transition or an IndexDB transaction.

For example:

1
2
3

Ember.Test.registerWaiter(function() {
  return myPendingTransactions() == 0;
});

The context argument allows you to optionally specify the this with which your callback will be invoked.

For example:

1

Ember.Test.registerWaiter(MyDB, MyDB.hasPendingTransactions);

removeTestHelpers public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:445

This removes all helpers that have been registered, and resets and functions that were overridden by the helpers.

Example:

1

App.removeTestHelpers();

resolve (The) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:204

Available since v1.2.0

The

Mixed

value to resolve

Replacement for Ember.RSVP.resolve The only difference is this uses an instance of Ember.Test.Promise

setupForTesting public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:363

This hook defers the readiness of the application, so that you can start the app when your tests are ready to run. It also sets the router's location to 'none', so that the window's location will not be modified (preventing both accidental leaking of state between tests and interference with your testing framework).

Example:

1

App.setupForTesting();

triggerEvent (selector, context, type, options) RSVP.Promise public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:437

Available since v1.5.0

selector

String

jQuery selector for finding element on the DOM

context

String

jQuery selector that will limit the selector argument to find only within the context's children

type

String

The event type to be triggered.

options

Object

The options to be passed to jQuery.Event.

returns

RSVP.Promise

Triggers the given DOM event on the element identified by the provided selector.

Example:

1

triggerEvent('#some-elem-id', 'blur');

This is actually used internally by the keyEvent helper like so:

1

triggerEvent('#some-elem-id', 'keypress', { keyCode: 13 });

unregisterHelper (name) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:120

name

String

The helper to remove.

Remove a previously added helper method.

Example:

1

Ember.Test.unregisterHelper('wait');

unregisterWaiter (context, callback) public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/test.js:257

Available since v1.2.0

context

Object

(optional)

callback

Function

unregisterWaiter is used to unregister a callback that was registered with registerWaiter.

visit (url) RSVP.Promise public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:214

url

String

the name of the route

returns

RSVP.Promise

Loads a route, sets up any controllers, and renders any templates associated with the route as though a real user had triggered the route change while using your app.

Example:

1
2
3

visit('posts/index').then(function() {
  // assert something
});

wait (value) RSVP.Promise public

Defined in packages/ember-testing/lib/helpers.js:329

value

Object

The value to be returned.

returns

RSVP.Promise

Causes the run loop to process any pending events. This is used to ensure that any async operations from other helpers (or your assertions) have been processed.

This is most often used as the return value for the helper functions (see 'click', 'fillIn','visit',etc).

Example:

```javascript Ember.Test.registerAsyncHelper('loginUser', function(app, username, password) { visit('secured/path/here') .fillIn('#username', username) .fillIn('#password', password) .click('.submit')

return app.testHelpers.wait(); });
