zombie.js

Zombie.js allows developers to test client-side JavaScript code in a simulated environment.

Client-side code can be tested in Node.js, just like they will be ran inside a browser.

What is new in this release:

• ADDED:
• Preliminary support for the Fetch API (https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/)
• Can use the browser.fetch to retrieve any resources, using the cookies, pipeline and all other browser settings
• CHANGED:
• Upgraded to JSDOM 4.1
• Use browser.status instead of browser.statusCode (HTML APIs use status and statusText)
• browser.resources is now just an array of all resources requested when processing the currently open window. Resources no longer shared by all windows, and other features (pipeline configuration, fetch resources) moved elsewhere.
• Separated pipeline from resources. Use browser.pipeline.addHandler to add request/response handler to the browser instance, or Pipeline.addHandler to add handler to all new instances.
• Pipeline API changed as well. Request handler called with browser instance and Fetch Request object, can return null or a Fetch Response object. Response handler called with browser instance, request and response object, should return same or new response object. Handlers no longer using callbacks, if you need asynchronous behavior, return a promise.
• FIXED:
• Empty cookie and referer header no longer sent #881
• Added navigator.appVersion #885
• REMOVED:
• document.window, use document.defaultView instead
• browser.close confusing method name, use browser.window.close if you really need to close the window.
