I have been trying to figure out what is the best way to write/run automated jasmine tests in visual studio. Currently, I am using jasmine with Resharper (using PhantomJS) and the test can be run from visual studio. Now I want to run the tests as part of continuous integration and very are using TFS. Searching online give me few options which made me rather confused.
1) Use Chutzpah as a test runner to execute jasmine tests.
2) Use Karma as a test runner (but it also requires Chutzpah test adaptor for visual studio).
I get the feeling that using Karma is somewhat better than anything else but I couldn't understand the benefits of Karma instead of just using Chutzpah. Can anyone please clarify what should be the usage?
DISCLAIMER: I am the author of Chutzpah so take anything I say with a pinch of bias.
Both Karma and Chutzpah are both good tools to be able to run JavaScript unit tests. Karma is the more active open source project and has a large group of people contributing to it. It is very configurable and lets you (as Sean says) target browser besides Phantom. There are VS plugins for it as well but I have not used them much.
Chutzpah is a mature product that is also very configurable. It will always run your tests in PhantomJS but does let you open them in a new browser in order to debug. Chutzpah VS integration is mature and seamless.
The biggest benefit of Karma over Chutzpah is it can be configured to use Chrome (or any other browser) to be the test runner which makes tests a lot easier to debug with browser developer tools.
