Functional testing
We have reached a point in our sample_project Gruntfile setup where we are ready to begin testing the functionality of each registered task to ensure that we are meeting the project requirements. Recall that we have implemented the following plugins:
contrib-jshint
contrib-uglify
contrib-less
contrib-imagemin
notify
open
contrib-watch
Starting at the top, we will test each requirement individually, then we will begin adding in the entire stack to create our automated build process. We do have a banner option that is not a task; it is simply a property with a value that we can use elsewhere. In the case of our configuration, the banner is used by contrib-uglify. We will start with contrib-jshint testing.
The process for testing individual tasks is simple: we will only register the task we wish to test and then inspect the result of the task to ensure that what we expected to happen has indeed happened. Our custom task with a callback function that takes arguments is a handy way...
