Hi Simon,

This won't currently work, but I can make the changes to fix it.

Can you open a ticket at:

Is it possible to simulate status 303 see other? I tried it like following, but it doesn't work… Any ideas?

$.mockjax({
url: test.fcgi,
status: 303,
contentType: 'text/plain',
headers: {
location: 'http://localhost/jsonTestFiles/testInput.json'
}
});

Hi Wojciech,

What you're thinking about is unit testing and assertions. Mockjax just mocks or imitates a real ajax request.

Can I make sure the mock request is actually called? Otherwise it'd be more like a stub (as far as I understand the terminology).

I'm thinking of sth like {assert_called: 2} param. It'd raise an exception if conditions aren't met in several seconds.

Thanks for the great plugin! I was wondering if there were any plans to add the ability to mock ajax calls in web workers.

That would've been very helpful to have in the documentation above – saw this comment only after finding the data-parsing in the source code. Anyway, works great.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.
Currently I'm doing ajax tests without Mockjax, but it is good to know, if I'll find, that my method is not enough.

Here is my current method, if someone need simple ajax testing:

test('ajax', function () {
var ajaxOptions;
$.ajax = function (param) {
ajaxOptions = param;
};
myAjaxFunction();
ajaxOptions.success(dataReturnedFromServerWhenSuccess);
equals(ajaxOptions.data, 'id=1', 'query string ok');
ok(true, 'Some other tests for results of myAjaxFunction()');
});

Best regards,
ChrisRaven

I just replied to Chris' comment. (here's the gist http://gist.github.com/615972)

Hi Chris,

There is! Here's a gist that shows how: http://gist.github.com/615972

Essentially you plugin in data: {} for mockjax to inspect against. It'll do deep inspection.

I'll second ChrisRaven's point. I'm using a plugin (DataTables) that requires an echo parameter be returned from the server with the same value. Access to the query string would be important for this sort of thing.
