Stubbing out confirm dialogs in Jasmine

#testing

#jasmine

Ever write a javascript test suite only to have it interrupted by confirm dialogs in your code? Obnoxious huh?

Bypass them by stubbing out with the value you want the user to pick, true/false.

spyOn(window, ‘confirm’).andReturn(false);

or

spyOn(window, 'confirm').andReturn(true);

happy testing...

Just wanted to note that the syntax for this as of Jasmine 2.0 would be:

spyOn(window, 'confirm').and.returnValue(true)

or

spyOn(window, 'confirm').and.returnValue(false)

Did you know?

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
