ember-qunit simplifies testing of Ember applications with QUnit by providing QUnit-specific wrappers around the helpers contained in ember-test-helpers.
- Ember.js v4.0 or above
- Ember Auto Import v2 or above (or Embroider)
- Node.js v16 or above
- TypeScript 4.8 and 4.9
- SemVer policy: simple majors
- The public API is defined by the Usage section below.
- ember-cli ~v4.8.1, ~v4.12.2, >= v5.1
If you need support for Node 14 please use v6.2 of this addon.
If you need support for Node 13 or older Ember CLI versions please use v4.x of this addon.
ember-qunit
is an Ember CLI addon, so install it
as you would any other addon:
$ ember install ember-qunit
Some other addons are detecting the test framework based on the installed
addon names and are expecting ember-cli-qunit
instead. If you have issues
with this then ember install ember-cli-qunit
, which should work exactly
the same.
For instructions how to upgrade to the latest version, please read our Migration Guide.
The following section describes the use of ember-qunit with the latest modern Ember testing APIs, as laid out in the RFCs 232 and 268.
For the older APIs have a look at our Legacy Guide.
Your tests/test-helper.js
file should look similar to the following, to
correctly setup the application required by @ember/test-helpers
:
import Application from '../app';
import config from '../config/environment';
import { setApplication } from '@ember/test-helpers';
import { start } from 'ember-qunit';
setApplication(Application.create(config.APP));
start();
Also make sure that you have set ENV.APP.autoboot = false;
for the test
environment in your config/environment.js
.
The setupTest()
function can be used to setup a unit test for any kind
of "module/unit" of your application that can be looked up in a container.
It will setup your test context with:
this.owner
to interact with Ember's Dependency Injection systemthis.set()
,this.setProperties()
,this.get()
, andthis.getProperties()
this.pauseTest()
method to allow easy pausing/resuming of tests
For example, the following is a unit test for the SidebarController
:
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
import { setupTest } from 'ember-qunit';
module('SidebarController', function(hooks) {
setupTest(hooks);
// Replace this with your real tests.
test('exists', function() {
let controller = this.owner.lookup('controller:sidebar');
assert.ok(controller);
});
});
The setupRenderingTest()
function is specifically designed for tests that
render arbitrary templates, including components and helpers.
It will setup your test context the same way as setupTest()
, and additionally:
- Initializes Ember's renderer to be used with the
Rendering helpers,
specifically
render()
- sets up the DOM Interaction Helpers
from
@ember/test-helpers
(click()
,fillIn()
, ...)
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
import { setupRenderingTest } from 'ember-qunit';
import { render, find } from '@ember/test-helpers';
import { hbs } from 'ember-cli-htmlbars';
module('GravatarImageComponent', function(hooks) {
setupRenderingTest(hooks);
test('renders', async function() {
await render(hbs`{{gravatar-image}}`);
assert.ok(find('img'));
});
});
The setupApplicationTest()
function can be used to run tests that interact
with the whole application, so in most cases acceptance tests.
On top of setupTest()
it will:
- Boot your application instance
- Set up all the DOM Interaction Helpers
(
click()
,fillIn()
, ...) as well as the Routing Helpers (visit()
,currentURL()
, ...) from@ember/test-helpers
import { module, test } from 'qunit';
import { setupApplicationTest } from 'ember-qunit';
import { visit, currentURL } from '@ember/test-helpers';
module('basic acceptance test', function(hooks) {
setupApplicationTest(hooks);
test('can visit /', async function(assert) {
await visit('/');
assert.equal(currentURL(), '/');
});
});
Configuration is optionally managed via @embroider/macros
To configure ember-qunit
, in your ember-cli-build.js
, add:
'use strict';
const EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
module.exports = function (defaults) {
const app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
'@embroider/macros': {
setConfig: {
'ember-qunit': {
/**
* default: false
*
* removes the CSS for the test-container (where the app and components are rendered to)
*/
disableContainerStyles: true,
/**
* default: 'qunit-default'
* options: 'qunit-default' | 'ember'
*
* Sets the theme for the Web UI of the test runner. Use a different value to disable loading any theme, allowing you to provide your own external one.
*/
theme: 'qunit-default',
},
},
},
/* ... */
});
/* ... */
};
