grunt-contrib-nodeunit

Run Nodeunit unit tests.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-nodeunit --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-nodeunit');

Nodeunit task

Run this task with the grunt nodeunit command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

This plugin provides server-side JavaScript unit testing via nodeunit. If you're looking to test JavaScript that uses window or the DOM, please use the grunt-contrib-qunit pluginqunit task.

Usage examples

Wildcards

In this example, grunt nodeunit:all (or grunt nodeunit because nodeunit is a [multi task][]) will test all files ending with _test.js in the test directory.

// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
  nodeunit: {
    all: ['test/*_test.js']
  }
});

With a slight modification, grunt nodeunit:all will test files matching the same pattern in the test directory and all subdirectories.

// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
  nodeunit: {
    all: ['test/**/*_test.js']
  }
});
