Polymer element Unit Tests

[deadlyfingers]

Writing tests using web-component-tester:
Tried various tools to rig up some Polymer unit tests for checking results of async methods using jQuery $.ajax or Polymer iron-ajax response events.

• IronAjax events:
  sinon spy to watch 'iron-ajax' on-response event connected with pubsub callback.
• jQuery ajax:
  PubSub.subscribe and PubSub.publish works directly with async jQuery calls.
  But a nicer way is to return the jQuery ajax result as a Deferred object - ideal for unit testing using done/fail promise chains.

Tests can be run on: http://localhost:5000/test/

• Updated login tests as the username form is now a shared element.
• Unit test issue with getting postcard data with image attachments. Somehow the image attachments are causing the test to fail.

At the minute Polymer tests are run from localhost - http://localhost:5000/test/

But another thing to look at is configuring wct command (which launches the Selenium driver) - but it uses it's own server running on port 2000 so I would need to tie it into our jxcore localhost server running express server on port 5000. (NB: Safari also requires the Selenium SafariDriver extension to run tests - https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=7933#c23)
