Testing Java Script app using Jasmine

Question

I have build an app using Sencha Architect and planning to test it using Jasmine. I am fairly new to Sencha Architect and Jasmine. In order for me to test the app, do I need to add the ExtJS Libraries/CSS in my HTML index file? I already add all the Jasmine frameworks CSS and JS files together with the Jasmine Test Case File in my HTML index file.

Thanks guys.

I will guide you through a quick setup with working tests using Sencha Cmd 5., ExtJs 5. and expecting you to use a Sencha workspace in just 8 steps.

First create a new workspace using Sencha Cmd. If you already have a workspace you can skip this step.

sencha generate workspace \path\to\the\folder
Create a new ExtJs app using Sencha Cmd.

cd \path\to\the\workspace sencha -sdk \path\to\the\sdk generate app Jasmine jasmine
Then create a new folder called app-test within the app folder.
Download the standalone version of Jasmine
Unzip it and copy the lib folder into the app-test folder you created before.
Create a html file index-test.html and place it in your app folder:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <title>Jasmine Test</title>

 <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="app-test/lib/jasmine-2.3.4/jasmine_favicon.png">
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="app-test/lib/jasmine-2.3.4/jasmine.css">

 <script src="app-test/lib/jasmine-2.3.4/jasmine.js"></script>
 <script src="app-test/lib/jasmine-2.3.4/jasmine-html.js"></script>
 <script src="app-test/lib/jasmine-2.3.4/boot.js"></script>

 <!-- include source files here... -->
 <script src="../ext/build/ext-all-debug.js"></script>

 <!-- include spec files here... -->
 <script src="app-test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 <div id="test"></div>
</body>
</html>

Create a javascript file app-test.js and place it in your app folder:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
    enabled: true
});

Ext.application({
 name: 'Jasmine',
 extend: 'Jasmine.Application',
 autoCreateViewport: false
});

describe('Jasmine.view.main.Main', function() {
 //reusable scoped variable
 var mainView = null;

 // setup / teardown
 beforeEach(function() {
  // create a fresh main view for every test to avoid test pollution
  mainView = Ext.create('Jasmine.view.main.Main'/*, {
   renderTo : 'test' //see index-test.html to see where this is defined
  }*/);
 });

 afterEach(function() {
  // destroy the main view after every test so we don't pollute the environment
  mainView.destroy();
 });

 it('should inherit from Ext.container.Container', function() {
  expect(mainView.isXType('container')).toEqual(true);
 });

 it('should be configured as a border layout', function() {
  expect(mainView.getLayout().type).toEqual('border');
 });
});

Open index-test.html in a browser and see the results
