buster-coffee

An extension for Buster.JS to automatically compile your CoffeeScript files before running tests.

Installation

Install from npm:

npm install buster-coffee

Then add it to your buster.js config file:

config["My tests"] = {
  // ...
  extensions: [require("buster-coffee")]
  // ...
};

Configuration

The extension has no configuration options.

Example web project

See the demo/ dir for an example project using Buster.JS and buster-coffee to test a function that is implemented in CoffeeScript, using tests written in CoffeeScript.

Example web project using AMD/RequireJS

If you are using buster-amd, you don't need buster-coffee to compile your CoffeeScript files, but can instead use e.g. the require-cs AMD loader plugin. See the demo-amd/ dir for an extensive example project, using Buster.JS to test AMD modules written in CoffeeScript and loaded with RequireJS.

Node.js and require()

Currently, buster-coffee does not work with files that are to be included using require(). buster-coffee never writes any files to disk, while require() explictly looks for the files it will include on disk. Because of this, buster-coffee has limited use for Node.js development in CoffeeScript.
