Selenium isn't a great, but seemingly the only option currently. To improve QUnit integration, you could provide your own implementations for a few (undocumented) QUnit callbacks:

1. // Logging callbacks
   done: function(failures, total) {},
   log: function(result, message) {},
   testStart: function(name) {},
   testDone: function(name, failures, total) {},
   moduleStart: function(name, testEnvironment) {},
   moduleDone: function(name, failures, total) {}

Eg. QUnit.log = function(result, message) { ... }

We are using Hudson as well in our build environment.  If you find out any information on this issue then please let me know :)

Not really a solution, more of an alternative, but ajaxian had a post recently about this new think called Syn. Looks promising.

Hello,

You can try this tool called "Tester Bench for jQuery" http://www.testjquery.com/ which might provide you with the "missing link" in what you are trying to do.

It can automatically start browsers and execute tests; it can remotely execute javascript code on the page and provides a simplistic logging output.

Eventually there will be a native IDE for the tool which will do test output versioning, parsing and trending automatically, but for the moment the IDE is not available. Currently, "Tester Bench" can be called from command line, and therefore there is a range of options how to integrate the tool in your work flow. For direct execution, you could integrate with any text editor that allows external execution. For alerting your server, you could probably make a little script.

The package is very easy to install and it has minimal footprint. It can be run in a virtual machine, if you don't want to give away your PC for testing, because the tool needs to take control of the browser and the OS for the time of  test execution.

We opened a new topic for discussion of this package "Tester Bench for jQuery", and we are very interested in your feedback, if you find the tool useful, and if you might need features to be added.

Cheers,

Mike. 

Thanks for the links guys.  Both Syn and testjquery look promising.  I will let you know my findings when I get around to implementing :)

I suppose this question is related. I am new to QUnit so not sure.

Yes, this is possible; I implemented it for jQuery UI: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/tests/unit/all.html

There's also an addon bundled with QUnit, based on Scott's implementation: https://github.com/jquery/qunit/tree/master/addons/composite

Scott/Joern,

We are using Hudson as well in our build environment.

Have a look at RhUnit - its a qUnit compatible test framework which runs in Rhino, letting you integrate directly with Jenkins CI etc via jUnit. The majority of qUnit tests will run in RhUnit with no problems!
