I have this small HTML file:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form id='MyForm'>
<input type='text' required />
<input type='submit' />
</form>
<script src="/js/jquery-1.9.0.js"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script>
var validator = $("#MyForm").validate();
alert(validator.form());
</script>
</body>
</html>
This alerts me with "false", which is the expected behaviour.
The problem comes when I go to unit testing, with js-test-driver:
TestCase("MyTests", {
setUp: function() {
this.myform = "<form id='MyForm'><input type='text' required /><input type='submit' /></form>";
this.validator = $(this.myform).validate();
jstestdriver.console.log("Does the form validate? " + this.validator.form());
},
test_empty: function() {
},
});
This code returns me the string
Does the form validate? true
This is a simplified version of my project of course, but the point is that I dont seem to be able to unit test the validation module im developing, since the jQuery validate plugin doesnt seem to work. What am I missing?
