how to test loading the current "map.layers.yaml"

[otsix]

I want to do a simple test to check whether some layers are loaded correctly.
To do this, I need to use the configuration files placed on the folder "config" and wait for asynchronous calls.

I create a SpecMyLayers.js file on the "test/spec" folder like this:

describe('MyLayers tests', function() {

    XVM.CONFIGFILE = '../'+ XVM.CONFIGFILE;
    XVM.LAYERSFILE = '../'+ XVM.LAYERSFILE;
    XVM.CONTROLSFILE = '../'+ XVM.CONTROLSFILE;

    XVM.createDefaultMap();

    beforeEach(function() {        
        XVM.EventBus = new XVM.Event.EventBus();
    });

    var layer_list = {
        "RVG-1999" : false,
        "RVG-2004" : false,
        "RVG-2009" : false,
        "RVG" : false
    }

    for (var key in Object.keys(layer_list)){
        it('XVM has the layer: '+Object.keys(layer_list)[key], function() {

        runs(function () {
            layers = new XVM.Loader.Layers(XVM.Reader);
        });

        waitsFor(function(){
            return (XVM.map.OLLayers!=null);
            }, "XVM.map.OLLayers is not initialized", 5000);
        //NEVER  IS INITIALIZED            
        for (var i = 0; i < XVM.map.OLLayers.length; i++) {
            var layer_key = layer_list[key]; 
            if (XVM.map.OLLayers[i].name == layer_key ){
                layer_list[layer_key] = true;
            }
        };

        expect(layer_list[key]).toEqual(true);
      });            
    }
});

To run this I had to add this script on the "SpecRunner.html":

<script type="text/javascript" src="../src/XVMUtils.js"></script>

It looks that the layers never are loaded properly. What are i missing?

Sorry we haven't answered this earlier...
Truth is, the ajax calls used for reading files don't work properly with the upper level symbol ('..'), don't know exactly why, but that's a problem related to JQuery. All files referenced inside tests should be in that folder, so consider simply copying the files you need inside it (and change the paths in XVM, obviously).
There are also some problems with the tests, which are deprecated because of recent code changes, but I have updated most of them in the past few hours. Four or five still fail, but most of them succeed. Hope we can update all them next week.
Hope this helps, but don't hesitate asking here again!

Tests now work fine with the current code. Be aware that the control ones, except the FeatureInfo, aren't finished and don't really test anything at all. They are not included in the html runner.
