  • grunt test Run JSHINT and Jasmine if JSHINT completes without errors
  • grunt watch Watch for file changes, then run JSHINT and Jasmine

Adding Unit Tests

Non-integration tests (typically tests that don't require a full Brackets instance running) are candidates to run headless via PhantomJS. The headless tests use a separate spec runner that is configured in Gruntfile.js. To add new tests, modify the config object, find the specs property and add the path to the spec file (e.g. test/spec/MyFeature.js to the array of specs.

Misc. Tasks

  • grunt write-config Automatically run after npm install to update src/config.json
