Having borrowed some stuff from here I have extended my ExtJs Jasmine test runner so it can be used with PhantomJs.

The ExtJs Jasmine test runner as well as its new PhantomJs test runner have made it to a separate library called gm (see here how to use it); both test runners are actually the very first utils available ;)

So once you have PhantomJs installed and your tests created they can be executed in PhantomJs like this:

So, after (re)reading the sencha docs and forums a couple of times I have come up with an alternate strategy for maintaining a utility library as a package... Not sure if it will not change at some point but so far it seems to be ok-ish...

Anyway, the requirements were:

• it should be possible to share the lib between apps / projects (obviously)
• the lib should have its own source control storage without having to use workspaces and such
• in should be possible to pack it and deliver as a package in the future (not sure it it will ever be the case though ;)
• It should be ready for the ExtJs 6 universal app usage

I have been thinking for a while on plugging Jasmine into ExtJs apps in an easy way. So here it goes an ExtJs TestRunner for Jasmine. This is more a PoC than a completed module, but so far it proved itself to be working as expected.

It can replace the app's viewport:

or work side by side:

The usage is rather simple:

//get the query params, so can dynamically adjust where the tests will be executed
//this may be handy if the tests need ui for example
var query = Ext.Object.fromQueryString(window.location.search),
    testRunnerCfg,
    tests = [
        'Jasmine.test.Simple',
        'Jasmine.test.Async'
    ];

//check if should handle the normal startup or kick in with the tests mode
if(Jasmine.util.TestRunner.isInTestMode()){

    //by default the test runner creates its own viewport that is displayed instead of the app
    //it is possible to customise this and display the jasmine output on the side or actually in any container

    //the default will run test runner with the standard output generated instead of the app
    testRunnerCfg = {
        tests: tests
    };

    //display tests on the side
    if(query.hasOwnProperty('testsonside') && query['testsonside']){
        this.viewport = Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
            layout: 'border',
            items: [
                {
                    xtype: 'panel',
                    region: 'center',
                    layout: 'fit',
                    items: [
                        Ext.create('Jasmine.view.main.Main')
                    ]
                },
                {
                    xtype: 'panel',
                    region: 'south',
                    height: 300,
                    html: '
',
                    overflowY: true,
                    split: true,
                    title: 'Jasmine output'
                }
            ]
        });

        testRunnerCfg.outputContainer = 'jasmine_output';
    }

    Ext.create('Jasmine.util.TestRunner', testRunnerCfg);
}
else {
    //normal app startup
    //create the app's viewport
    this.viewport = Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', {
        layout: 'fit',
        items: [
            Ext.create('Jasmine.view.main.Main')
        ]
    });
}

Manifold traditional topology tools come in as an msi package. In some scenarios, even though one has an admin account, it will not be possible to install the topology tools. This thread mentions that this is because a built in admin account is requires to complete the installation process successfully.

A workaround is to launch a cmd as an Administrator and from there execute the:

msiexec /a Manifold-Traditional-Topology-Tools-1.0.0.0-x64.msi

That should do the trick.

Scenario:

• windows server x64
• manifold 8.x x64
• pgsql 9.x x64
