[Cosmo-dev] [Proposal] Use Windmill for JS Unit testing

It's actually a little simpler than JUnit because you don't have the  
inheritance requirements that JUnit has.

Hehe :) I didn't phrase that properly.

Windmill just loads the page in an iFrame, I was wondering why the  
jsunit framework didn't just do the same since it already has to run  
in the browser.

The issue is this.

In order for windmill to report results we _must_ replace the jsunit  
assertion methods, there isn't another way to do it.

Thanks Bobby for showing me http://svn.osafoundation.org/server/cosmo/ 
trunk/cosmo/src/test/unit/js/cosmo/datetime/test_timezone.js .

I was looking at http://svn.osafoundation.org/server/cosmo/trunk/ 
cosmo/src/test/unit/js/cosmo/ui/widget/ and the examples on the  
jsunit website.

If we can find a way to dynamically replace the regular jsunit  
assertion methods with our own I think we can do this all pretty easily.

Adam?
