# IPython Notebook JavaScript Tests
This directory includes regression tests for the web notebook. These tests
depend on [CasperJS](http://casperjs.org/), which in turn requires a recent
version of [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/).
The JavaScript tests are organized into subdirectories that match those in
`static` (`base', `notebook`, `services`, `tree`, etc.).
To run all of the JavaScript tests do:
```
iptest js
```
To run the JavaScript tests in a single subdirectory (`notebook` in this
case) do:
```
iptest js/notebook
```
The file `util.js` contains utility functions for tests, including a path to
a running notebook server on localhost (http://127.0.0.1) with the port
number specified as a command line argument to the test suite. Port 8888 is
used if `--port=` is not specified. When you run these tests using `iptest`
you do not, however, have to start a notebook server yourself; that is done
automatically.
