estktap

tap(tape) wrapper for testing adobe extendscript

usage

The estktap function takes 4 arguments:

estktap(message, jsx_script_path, is_a, targets)

1. message String: Description

2. jsx_script_path String: Path to script to test

3. is_a Number, String, Boolean, Function: Comparitor

4. targets Array: (Optional) List of targets

version number needs to be specified in targets [indesign-7.0,indesign-11] see versions.json

example

script to test

• myfn.jsx

Myfn = this.Myfn || {};

// return Document page length
Myfn.count = function(doc){
  if(doc.hasOwnProperty("pages")){
    return doc.pages.length
  }else{
    return undefined
  }
};

// add new Page to Document
Myfn.add = function(doc){
  if(doc instanceof Document){
    doc.pages.add();
  }
  return doc;
};

write test

• test.jsx (for testing myfn.jsx)

#target InDesign-7.0
#include "../myfn.jsx"

var doc = (app.documents.length===0)? app.documents.add() : app.activeDocument;
$.write(Myfn.count(doc)===1); // must

You should append $.write(xxx) at end in extendscript code for the test, because it uses tap test as output.

create runner

• test.js (for running test.js)

var test = require('tape'),
    estktap = require('estktap');

test('this is adobe extendscript tap test',function(t){
  estktap('this must be true',__dirname+'/test/fixtures/test/test.jsx',true);
  t.end();
});

run

$ node test.js

or

$ tape test.js
