First Steps testing Javascript with Jasmine

Last year, I came to Rocky Mountain Ruby to encourage folks to start testing their JavaScript just as thoroughly as they test their Ruby. If you haven't yet had the opportunity, here's your chance! This workshop will cover the basics of getting started with Jasmine for Ruby & Rails, focusing on getting participants in a place where they're comfortable:

  1. Adding Jasmine specs to a Ruby or Rails projects
  2. Executing Jasmine specs in terminal, in a browser, and as part of a CI build
  3. Writing simple specs in JavaScript and CoffeeScript
  4. Leveraging helper libraries (like jasmine-fixture, jasmine-stealth) to make it easier to write clean specs

Prerequisites

Bring your own development laptop. Have a Ruby/Rails environment ready to go such that you can create a new rails project. If you're interested in running Jasmine specs in a terminal without a browser, pre-install the Qt library.

- on Mac OS X, that's as easy as installing homebrew and then running "brew install qt"
- on other platforms, follow the setup instructions for capybara-webkit

Donation Required

These workshops, while free to secure a ticket, are all about raising money for local charities.  You will need to make a donation to cover the sessions you wish to attend.  You can do this at the event or ahead of time.  If you are making a donation beforehand you will need to bring your printed receipt of your donation.  Most sessions require a $30 or more donation.  There are special reserve tickets for supporters that donate $100 or more for a session.  We are offering a few seats at this level as a way to encourage those to give more than the minimum and be recognized for it.  For instance, if you wished to attend Play with Ruby and The Hashrocket Way, you could make a single $60 donation to cover both sessions as the minimum.

Our overall goal is to top $5000 total.  Please be generous and help our meet our goal!  Here is the list of our local charities:
