Configuring the JSTestDriver test runner
You do not need to download the JSTestDriver framework manually. The server and the assertion framework are provided through the JSTestDriver plugin.
The plugin is not bundled with PyCharm, but it is available from the
PyCharm plugin repository.
Once enabled, the plugin is available at the IDE level, that is, you can use it in all your PyCharm projects.
See Installing, Updating and Uninstalling Repository Plugins and Enabling and Disabling Plugins for details.
This plugin does the following:
- Runs the JSTestDriver server that captures an opened browser to execute tests in.
- During the test creation, detects the unit testing framework the test code complies with, whereupon suggests the Add <test framework> support intention action, provided that the framework is recognized as a PyCharm JavaScript library and is thus available in the IDE.
- Download the framework of your choice and configure it as a PyCharm JavaScript library.
-
Do one of the following:
- Add the project folder to the library scope.
- Enable the framework support on-the-fly during test creation. Write the test as required, position the cursor at it, and press Alt+Enter. Then choose the Add <test framework> support intention action from the list.
