Jasmine in a separate test project

Question

Is it practical/possible to separate jasmine tests into a separate visual studio project?

I am just getting started with angular, and am trying to write my tests befor

Answer 1

Traditionally, I've always kept unit tests in separate assemblies.

I've read both sides of the argument and prefer not to ship code that isn't production code, or to have additional deployment steps to remove tests from production code.

In order to reference javascript in my Web.Client.Tests assembly, for example, I use a post-build event to copy the files into the test project. For this I use robocopy - it looks something like this:

robocopy "$(ProjectDir)app" "$(SolutionDir)Tests\Presentation\Web.Client.Tests\app" /E /COPY:D /IS 

robocopy "$(ProjectDir)Scripts" "$(SolutionDir)Tests\Presentation\Web.Client.Tests\Scripts" /E /COPY:D /IS

if errorlevel 1 GOTO :eof 

The main con with this approach is that you have to build the project each time, like you'd have to with your C# code, to update the test project before running the tests.
