Previously, the only way to run the Mocha tests (in 'test.*.js') is to write a web page to wrap them (or use a provided one), and then load that file in a browser. This commit introduces a series of files to allow you to run the Mocha tests from the command line instead. Normally, Mocha tests can be run from the command line anyway. However, since this project was designed to work in web browsers and not node, the code doesn't contain the proper `require` calls, nor does it contain the proper `module.exports` declarations. Additionally, some of the code is dependent on having a browser environment. To overcome these issues, a headless browser environment is used. The command file introduced in the commit, `run_from_console.js`, can use one of two environments: ZombieJS, a pure-javascript headless browser simulator, or SpookyJS/CasperJS/PhantomJS, an actually WebKit-based environment. Because the environment-dependent code is separated out in to different files ('run_from_console.zombie.js' and 'run_from_console.casper.js'), the program can be safely used if only one of the supported environments is installed. Additionally, the command will automatically generate HTML and inject the required tests if there is no pre-existing HTML file (although you can still use pre-existing HTML files if you want to). The required NPM modules for the base program are: - commander - ansi - mocha (must be installed locally for the HTML files to use) - chai (must be installed locally for the HTML files to use) - temp For Zombie, you need: - zombie - q For Casper, you need: - casperjs (must be installed locally in order to work properly) - phantomjs - phantom - spooky The command itself can be invoked as $ node run_from_console.js -t html_files or $ node run_from_console.js -t js_test_files -i js_required_files In both cases, the 'files' options should be a comma-separated list of files. The first case runs pre-existing HTML files. The second case generates HTML files to run the specified Mocha tests, and injects the requirements specified as well. Additionally, there are extra arguments that apply to both forms: '-a' can be used to print all test results, not just the failures, '-c' may be used to force color to be enabled (when outputting to a pipe, such as when `less -R` is in use), and '-e' is used to set the environment. Use the '-h' or '--help' options to see a detailed description of all options, and their long-form versions.
