apps/ember-admin/README.md
This is the home of the Ember.js-based Admin app that ships with Ghost.
Run all tests in the browser by running pnpm dev in the Ghost monorepo and visiting http://localhost:4200/tests. The code is hotloaded on change and you can filter which tests to run.
Tip: You can use this.timeout(0); await this.pauseTest(); in your tests to temporarily pause the execution of browser tests. Use the browser console to inspect and debug the DOM, then resume tests by running resumeTest() directly in the browser console (docs)
To build and run tests in the CLI, you can use:
TZ=UTC pnpm test
Note the TZ=UTC environment variable which is currently required to get tests working if your system timezone doesn't match UTC.
However, this is very slow when writing tests, as it requires the app to be rebuilt on every change. Instead, create a separate watching build with:
pnpm build --environment=test -w -o="dist-test"
Then run tests with:
TZ=UTC pnpm test 1 --reporter dot --path="dist-test"
The --reporter dot shows a dot (.) for every successful test, and F for every failed test. It renders the output of the failed tests only.
To run a specific test file:
TZ=UTC pnpm test 1 --reporter dot --path="dist-test" -mp=tests/unit/helpers/gh-count-characters-test.js
To have a full list of the available options, run
ember exam --help
