My TLDR; version of my question is "Is there a way I can integrate with qunit such that Dalek can get the correct context when it needs it, or conversely, can I get Dalek to run setup/teardown asset-pipeline-compiled Ember javascript to build a context for it to run tests on?"
Firstup Dalek look awesome! All my tests are currently written in qunit. I'm having some problems automating tests around a component I'm building in Ember. The component is a kind of WYSIWYG textarea.
(BTW, my qunit tests are being driven from a route within a rails application.)
To automate testing, my qunit scripts have a setup and tearDown that create a pristine textarea each time. Each test creates some content in the textarea, then interacts with it somehow doing some assertions on it.
That's all well and good, except that I require much better browser simulation than qunit can provide me with (and I'm really running out of patience for writing my own range-related browser-response simulation code).
The things I need to do mostly are: 1. Move the caret around using arrow keys, and type characters. 2. Click at specific points in the textarea (not x,y co-ords, but rather a specific points in the text).
It struck me that Dalek could totally help with this, but the way I'm doing this workflow, I think I'd either need Dalek to be remote controllable via my qunit tests, or else somehow rewrite my tests in Dalek, but to do that, I'd need to be able to get Dalek to use jQuery and Ember to create the component and data context for the setup/teardown, which I'm not even sure Dalek supports.
What I really need is part-integration, part-unit testing, and there doesn't seem to be a great answer in the JS/Rails/Ember testing space that will handle this set of conditions.
