How to Test Classes

  require "spec_helper"
  
  describe ClassName do
  
    # Describe each method on your class.
    # Note that the `describe` call limits the scope

	var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app');
	var pickFiles = require('broccoli-static-compiler');
	var mergeTrees = require('broccoli-merge-trees');
	var vulcanize = require('broccoli-vulcanize');

	var app = new EmberApp();

	var polymerVulcanize = vulcanize('app', {
	input: 'elements.html',
	output: 'assets/vulcanized.html',

	data Health = JustFine \| LooksDead \| IsDead

	record Character : Type where
	MkCharacter : (name:String) ->
	(health:Health) ->
	Character

	instance Show Health where
	show IsDead = "is dead"
	show LooksDead = "looks dead"

	// Probably best to have this within setup
	var ajaxStub = sinon.stub($, "ajax", function(event) {
	var result = $.Deferred();
	result.args = event;
	return result;
	});

	// Usage example
	var call = theAjaxCallToTest()
	// OR (if theAjaxCallToTest() doesn't return the actual ajax call)

	# 1. Add rack-rewrite to your Gemfile and run 'bundle install':
	# gem 'rack-rewrite'
	#
	# 2. Create a file with the contents below in config/initializers/asset_server_middleware.rb
	#
	# 3. Rename 'YourApp' below
	#
	# 4. In config/environments/production.rb and config/environments/test.rb, set:
	# config.serve_static_assets = true
	# config.assets.compile = false

	require 'active_record'

	ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(:adapter => "sqlite3", :database => ":memory:")

	ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 1) do
	create_table :posts do \|t\|
	t.string :title
	t.timestamps
	end
	end
