We don't need _distributed_ javascript testing tool; we need automated command-line javascript testing tool which we can integrate into git testsuite (t/). * TestSwarm is distributed continuous integration testing tool, (not necessary for us), and from what I understand it shows results as a web page (in a browser). It is written in PHP and uses MySQL. * jsTestDriver looks like something we could use, as it is run from command line, and prints results to standard output. It requires however a web browser attached (this is not an obstacle: having web browser can be prerequisite for such tests)... and is written in Java, and as far as I understand doesn't output TAP. Documentation/CodingGuidelines says: - Avoid introducing a new dependency into git. This means you usually should stay away from scripting languages not already used in the git core command set [...] So no PHP, and no Java. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
