[LRUG] Fwd: Testing JS in Rails 4

[Will Tomlins]

Just a thought, but have you considered making use of node?  I've had some success unit testing using jasmine with grunt-contrib-jasmine (https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jasmine) but using PhantomJS as a test runtime.

Grunt's a node flavoured rake, and you'd be able to compile a manifest of source JS files from within a node environment allowing you to get a the file system / do whatever build stuff you'd need to do before running the suite through jasmine / PhantomJS. 

Don't know if this is of any use to you,
Will
