I was having a similar issue with needing to set the server explicitly. What I found was that there was a non-printable character at the begining of the config file as a result from copying from web references. Creating a clean file and typing up the config cleared up the issue.

I’m having trouble with using the –browser flag to auto capture different browsers. Have you gotten that to work for you?

Hi all,
I found this site after searching for a solution how to use JsTestDriver with prototype.js. I tested the approach to inject the prototype file at each test file but without success in my case. Don’t ask why but it looks like the injection was performed to late to init the tests proper.

Later I found this way to hack prototype and enable it for JsTestDriver: http://code.google.com/p/js-test-driver/issues/detail?id=32#c12
Looks like the JSON part is a problem right now. I’m not using the fix which is also mentioned in this thread. I just add a fix.js file in the conf file and that’s it.

Maybe this will help someone later facing the same problem I did.
By the way: I’m using the eclipse plugin of JsTestDriver.

Cheers, Joerg

Hi Darren, I ended up not mocking anything out and instead just including dependencies in the script file containing my tests. So for example, in tests where Prototype.js is required, I just add the following line to the top of my test script file:

document.write('');

That seems to work currently though I haven't been spending too much time with JsTestDriver lately and am just now getting back into it.

Darren : Hi, Have you managed to mock up some Prototype.js or jQuery dependencies y? I see JsTestDriver-1.2.1-src.jar came out Feb 27th, has that sorted out a few gotchas you encountered?

Hi,

Have you managed to mock up some Prototype.js dependencies or jQuery?

I see JsTestDriver-1.2.1-src.jar came out Feb 27th, has that sorted out a few gotchas you encountered?
