Karma and RequireJS: avoid duplication in src and test RequireJS config

问题

For example, this test-main.js and this main.js has duplicated paths and shims. For large projects, there may be lots of them. I can even use grunt-bower-requirejs plugin to add installed Bower components into main.js, but after that, I have to copy them to test-main.js, either by hand or by program.

Is there any convenient way to avoid this duplication, for example, tell RequireJS to include another config file?

回答1:

I also hate to duplicate information. I work around that problem by using in my test suite an HTML setup which calls require.config twice.

So HTML in my test suite first loads RequireJS, and then the general configuration, which is in a file named requirejs-config.js:

<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/requirejs/require.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="requirejs-config.js"></script>

The requirejs-config.js file is nothing special. Here's an abbreviated version:

require.config({
 baseUrl: 'lib/',
 paths: {
   browser_test: '../../../browser_test',
   jquery: 'external/jquery-1.10.2',
   bootstrap: 'external/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min',
   // [...]
 },
 packages: [
     {
         name: "lodash",
         location: "external/lodash"
     }
 ],
 shim: {
   bootstrap: {
     deps: ["jquery"],
     exports: "jQuery.fn.popover",
   },
   // [...]
 },
 config: {
   // [...]
 },
 enforceDefine: true
});

Then there is a <script> element which calls require.config with the settings that apply to the testing environment:

<script>
  require.config({
      paths: {
          'mocha': '/node_modules/mocha',
          'chai': '/node_modules/chai/chai'
      },
      shim: {
          'mocha/mocha': {
              exports: "mocha",
              init: function () { this.mocha.setup('bdd'); return this.mocha; }
          }
      },
      config: {
        // [...]
      }
  });
</script>

(The 'mocha/mocha' shim looks funny but it is correct.)

In this specific case, the second call to require.config only adds new values to paths, shim and config but it is also possible to override earlier values. I could for instance change the path to which 'jquery' resolves or change Bootstrap's shim.

You can see that I'm using Mocha + Chai for my test suite but the solution above is really not specific to Mocha at all.
