Runs Jasmine tests inside Apache Cordova on a real phone

jasmine-cordova-runner

Are you a crazy person who likes to develop Apache Cordova plugins that can only be tested on real devices (like, say Bluetooth plugins written in C)? Do you also exclusively test your code in Jasmine? Fantastic! This plugin may be just the thing you're looking for.

Install

$ npm install -g jasmine-cordova-runner

Usage

You'll need to have a mostly intact Apache Cordova plugin with a functioning jasmine directory. Then all you need to do is plug in a phone of your choosing and run

$ jascorun android

or even

$ jascorun ios

This should create a cordova_test_app directory inside your plugin's directory and run the app on your phone. You may want to add cordova_test_app to your local .gitignore to keep your repo clean.

SpecRunners

Because Cordova injects plugins after the DOM has loaded you'll need to wrap your specs with a 'deviceready' listener.

Debugging

Hahaha! It's in Javascript. Good luck!
