Context : a parser/validator module requiring 40 atomic tests, which are run with minified code for efficiency, using grunt/uglify for minification.

When one test fails, I need to use the QUnit/rerun function of that very atomic test, but with an alternate code, in order to get extensive parsing logs in the console (1000+ log lines for one of those tests).

The best solution I found is to grab the 'filter' url query parameter added by Qunit on rerun to detect if we currently are in a rerun, like so :

Is that the right way to do it ?

    var soloTest;
    function getParameterByName(name) {
        name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");
        var regexS = "[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)";
        var regex = new RegExp(regexS);
        var results = regex.exec(window.location.href);
        if (results == null) {
            return "";
        } else {
            return decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
        }
    }

    function getResult(caseName) {
        var soloTest = getParameterByName('filter') ? 1 : 0;
        if (soloTest) {
            return myParser.validate({docRootPath: '#' + caseName});
        } else {
            return myParserMin.validate({docRootPath: '#' + caseName});
        }
    }

    // ...

    test(caseName, function () {
                expect(1);
                equal(effectiveResult, expectedResult, 
                   'effectiveResult : \n' + effectiveResult +
                   '\nexpectedResult,\n' + expectedResult);
            });
