Important notes
Please don't edit files in the dist subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the src subdirectory!
While grunt can run the included unit tests via PhantomJS, this shouldn't be considered a substitute for the real thing. Please be sure to test the test/*.html unit test file(s) in actual browsers.
Installing grunt
This assumes you have node.js and npm installed already.
- Test that grunt is installed globally by running
grunt --versionat the command-line. - If grunt isn't installed globally, run
npm install -g gruntto install the latest version. You may need to runsudo npm install -g grunt. - From the root directory of this project, run
npm installto install the project's dependencies.
Installing PhantomJS
In order for the qunit task to work properly, PhantomJS must be installed and in the system PATH (if you can run "phantomjs" at the command line, this task should work).
Unfortunately, PhantomJS cannot be installed automatically via npm or grunt, so you need to install it yourself. There are a number of ways to install PhantomJS.
- PhantomJS and Mac OS X
- PhantomJS Installation (PhantomJS wiki)
Note that the phantomjs executable needs to be in the system PATH for grunt to see it.
