Unit Testing for Extendscript

Question

Need some guidance on automating unit testing for Extendscript..anyone have any experience running and writing unit tests on Adobe Extendscript jsx files with Grunt, Mocha, Chai, etc ?

Answer 1

I have tested by using

• substack/tape: tap-producing test harness for node and browsers
• nbqx/estktap: tap(tape) wrapper for testing adobe extendscript

in my script.

here is an example.

not automating, but it will be easy to set in gulp workflow.

thank you.

Answer 2

I've recently had the same need. I've updated jasminejsx for testing in ExtendScript using Jasmine.js (2.5) and a custom Logger without the need of ExtendScript Toolkit.

I use an adaptation in my cep-bootstrap project but I plan to update it soon with the newest jasminejsx.
