marionette

I am trying to implement a test (1) for this module (2). My purpose is to check if the collection is fetched when a particular event is triggered. As you can see from my comment in (2) I get the message Error: Expected a spy, but got Function. The module works but the test fails. any ideas? (1) // jasmine test module describe('When onGivePoints is fired', function () { beforeEach(function () { spyOn(this.view.collection, 'restartPolling').andCallThrough(); app.vent.trigger('onGivePoints'); }); it('the board collection should be fetched', function () { expect(this.view.collection.restartPolling

We have a large Marionette App, that uses Backbone.trackit to monitor unsaved changes in our Models. We now have some nested models, in fact we have a Model, with a Collection of Models, that contain a Collection of Models. trackit doesn't support the top level model being marked as 'dirty' when the child models change - due to backbone not bubbling these change events. I know we could manually monitor these change events, but Im looking for a generic solution. Has anyone had any experience of the following libs or any other solutions for this? backbone-deep-model Backbone Associations events

Using Backbone and Marionette, I've created a new layout that goes into the main content div on my page. The layout looks like this: <div id='dash-sidebar'> <div id='dash-profile'></div> <div id='dash-nav'></div> </div> <div id='dash-content'></div> The issue is that when I render the layout, Backbone automatically wraps it in a div before putting it into the main content div like this: <div id='main-content'> <div> <div id='dash-sidebar'> <div id='dash-profile'></div> <div id='dash-nav'></div> </div> <div id='dash-content'></div> </div> </div> I know that I can change the element with tagName
