Note taking mostly. Do not quote me on this stuff!
This page covers installing nodejs and qunit port under Mac OS X and GNU/Linux Debian.
new node-qunit
[edit]qunit-port is being refactored under github branch 'refactoring'. This include the original QUnit source code but require unstable NodeJS version > 0.5
Possible node modules prerequisites:
- argsparser
- bunker
- cli-table
- chainer
- underscore
- tracejs
- jsdom
- jquery
With home brew, to install them globally with all dependencies use:
$ npm-g install argsparser bunker cli-table chainer underscore tracejs jsdom jquery
More prerequisites might be needed.
nodejs 0.5.9 (homebrew)
[edit]As of October 18th, homebrew does not ship a NodeJS 0.5 version which is unstable.
NodeJS 0.5.7 and 0.5.8 is missing child_process.fork on Mac OS X 10.7.
You have to add a node-unstable node-unstable formula for this. The provided version come from a Github commit in bramswenson/homebrew fork. I have manually updated it to install version v0.5.9, thus you can add it to your homebrew formula with the command:
Grab the formula from github at https://gist.github.com/1295768 and add it as node-unstable.rb in your brew directory. You will then be able to install NodeJS 0.5.9. Then install that NodeJS using the downloaded formula:
$ brew install node-unstable
Note: you might want to uninstall the previous, stable, node installation with 'brew uninstall node'.
Once installed, make sure you have a v0.5.x node installed:
$ node --version v0.5.9 $
Mac OS X install
[edit]prerequisites
[edit]Install language interpreters python 2.7 and node.js. On a Mac OS X Computer, it will be with the port command (see MacPorts):
$ sudo port install python2.7 $ sudo port install node # got me node 0.4.8
Then install "Node Package Manager" (npm) with a small risk of getting hacked in the way:
# curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

This script will find and eliminate any shims, symbolic
links, and other cruft that was installed by npm 0.x.
Is this OK? enter 'yes' or 'no'
yes <--- enter 'yes' and press return :)
All clean!
! [ -d .git ] || git submodule update --init
node cli.js cache clean
node cli.js rm npm -g -f --loglevel error
node cli.js install -g -f
/opt/local/bin/npm -> /opt/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm.js
node-uuid@1.1.0 /opt/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-uuid
npm@1.0.6 /opt/local/lib/node_modules/npm
It worked

Then install node-qunit ( https://github.com/kof/node-qunit ) using the node package manager:
$ sudo npm install qunit > qunit@0.1.5 install ~/node_modules/qunit > make install ... output of ./configure && make && make install argsparser@0.0.5 ./node_modules/qunit/node_modules/argsparser uglify-js@1.0.2 ./node_modules/qunit/node_modules/sharedjs/node_modules/uglify-js sharedjs@0.0.2 ./node_modules/qunit/node_modules/sharedjs qunit@0.1.5 ./node_modules/qunit
setup profile and check installation
[edit]You should have something like:
$ sudo npm list
/path/to/home
└─┬ qunit@0.1.5
├── argsparser@0.0.5
└─┬ sharedjs@0.0.2
└── uglify-js@1.0.2
$
NPM actually install the requested modules under /path/to/home/node_modules/ and then use a symbolic link to publish the binary. The folder can be found by using npm bin:
$ npm bin /path/to/home/node_modules/.bin $
You might want to append that binary path to your PATH environment variable:
# node.js NODE_PATH="/Users/hashar/node_modules" export PATH=$PATH:"$NODE_PATH/.bin"
At this step, you should be ready to run qunit :
$ which qunit /path/to/home/node_modules/.bin/qunit $ qunit -h Usage: cli [options] value (boolean value can be used) ...
Please use the -h switch when invoking qunit or it might just throw an exception.
Mac OS X (with homebrew)
[edit]$ brew install node $ brew install npm
Make sure to update your NODE_PATH env variable in your .bashrc. Brew use /usr/local as a prefix, so you should add:
export NODE_PATH="/usr/local/lib/node_modules"
Then install the node module globally with npm-g (alias set up by homebrew):
$ npm-g install qunit
This will install the stable version. As of October 18th 2011, this mean using an outdated QUnit port which do not support stop(timeout) method.
GNU/Linux (Debian)
[edit]As of July 2011, you have to use unstable release to install node and npm. You can backport unstable packages in your testing release by adding unstable in your /etc/apt/sources.list and updating your /etc/apt/preferences:
/etc/apt/sources.list
# Please note the URL http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/ might be different # for your local setup. The important thing is adding a line with 'unstable' :) # Testing source list: deb http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/ testing main contrib non-free # Unstable source list: deb http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.debian.org/ unstable main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/preferences
Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=debian Pin-Priority: -10
Then update using apt-get update and install the package with the target unstable:
$ apt-get install -t unstable nodejs npm
Debian should take care of everything for you. Then install qunit:
$ npm install qunit <snip> $
Debian install symbolic links in your ~/bin . Make sure it is in your PATH. You will end up with something like:
$ ls -l ~/bin/qunit* lrwxrwxrwx 1 hashar hashar 13 16 juil. 19:46 /home/hashar/bin/qunit -> ./qunit@0.1.5* -rwxr-xr-x 1 hashar hashar 708 16 juil. 19:46 /home/hashar/bin/qunit@0.1.5* $
Jquery and DOM
[edit]Install Jquery and a javascript DOM for node is really easy, using the Node Package Manager of course!
jQuery for node:
$ npm install jquery htmlparser@1.7.3 ./node_modules/jquery/node_modules/htmlparser mjsunit.runner@0.1.3 ./node_modules/jquery/node_modules/jsdom/node_modules/mjsunit.runner request@1.9.5 ./node_modules/jquery/node_modules/jsdom/node_modules/request jsdom@0.1.20 ./node_modules/jquery/node_modules/jsdom jquery@1.5.1 ./node_modules/jquery $
DOM in node:
$ npm install jsdom request@1.9.5 ./node_modules/jsdom/node_modules/request htmlparser@1.7.3 ./node_modules/jsdom/node_modules/htmlparser jsdom@0.2.0 ./node_modules/jsdom $
Verifying install
[edit]We will do the first node run and verify jQuery and DOM seems fine.
Create a JavaScript file with the following content (From https://github.com/coolaj86/node-jquery) :
var jsdom = require( 'jsdom' ).jsdom,
newWindow = jsdom().createWindow(),
$ = require( 'jquery' ),
jQuery = require( 'jquery' ).create( newWindow );
$("<h1>test passes</h1>").appendTo("body");
console.log( $("body").html() )
Then run the above code using node:
$ node qunit_start.js <h1>test passes</h1> $
Congratulations! You have everything needed :-)
