How about some testing love

[daneroo]

Just learning angular - through yeoman, would love to help make this seed more like that:

• Testing with testacular
• Minification/concatenation from the connect/express directly
• liveReload

If we can discuss the path forward, I'd love to help...
Maybe it would be best to add to the yeoman angular generators directly ??

👍 This has been on my radar for a while. No promises on when, but this will happen!

If you'd like to spread out the work, I'd love to help.

Be my guest! I haven't decided exactly how this should be implemented, but I want to run unit tests on both the front and back end, as well as integration tests.

I definitely want to use Testacular to test the client. I'm thinking maybe Mocha to run tests on the server, but I'm open to suggestions. I'd like to have one ./run-tests script that runs and reports results from all of the tests whenever project files are changed.

IMO, testem with qunit is a convenient choice

+1, especially with Testactular and Mocha!

I'd be curious as to how mocha testing would look. Any eta on when it will come?

+1, would love for it to use Grunt! http://gruntjs.com/

I created this simple bower package that can be used as a drop in replacement to mock this library for unit testing.

E2E testing would require something a bit different.

I would be welcome to any suggestions in the docs to address some of what everyone is asking for here.

Currently my testing setup looks like this:

• Karma - test runner
• Mocha - test framework
• ChaiJS - assertion library
• RequireJS - environment loader

My boilerplate that achieves this can be found here: https://github.com/nullivex/ragetweet

@btford Maybe something similar to that could be used for the seed to test with. I guess it would take some modification to work without RequireJS but other than that its working well for us so far.
