Test Driver Robotics with Cylon.js

README.md

How to install:

You will need to be using the HEAD of the 'tdr' branch of Cylon.js itself.

sudo npm install sinon-chai -g
sudo npm install mocha -g
npm install cylon-firmata

How to run tests:

mocha robot.test.js

robot.js

var Cylon = require("cylon");

// Initialize the robot
var robot = Cylon.robot({
  name: 'testor',
  
  // Change the port to the correct port for your Arduino.
  connection: { name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' },
  device: { name: 'led', driver: 'led', pin: 13 },

  work: function(my) {
    // we do our thing here
    my.led.toggle();

    every((1).second(), function() { my.led.toggle(); });
  }
});

// start working
robot.start();

robot.test.js

"use strict";
process.env['CYLON_TEST'] = true;

var chai = require("chai");
var sinon = require("sinon");
var sinonChai = require("sinon-chai");
chai.should();
chai.use(sinonChai);

var clock = sinon.useFakeTimers();
var Cylon = require('cylon');
require("./robot.js");

describe("robot", function () {
  var robot = Cylon.findRobot("testor");

  it("should have work", function () {
    return robot.work.should.be.a('function');
  });

  it("should toggle the led after 1 second", function (done) {
    var led = robot.devices['led'];
    var toggle = sinon.stub(led, 'toggle');
    clock.tick((1).second());
    toggle.should.have.been.called;
    done();
  });  
});
