Making Qunit show passing tests all the time.

So I have recently started testing my JavaScript with Qunit. Yeah! I looked at Jasmine but I just liked QUnit better except for one thing. I wanted to see all the passing tests all the time. I mean you work hard to get all you code properly tested and structured you want some positive feedback right? Qunit doesn’t show your tests unless you fail – bah!

If you grab Qunit from GIT you can see that there is a config section at like, line 570 and this look like a great spot to have an option that would let you always show the passing tests in expanded form or whatever but there isn’t an option for this so I you need to add a hack for it.
At (or near) line 210 you will find the following.

That's it really - just save and you will have a screen full of happy positive feedback all the time.

I mean if you have like fatty 500+ scripts it might start to get to be too much but I just wanted people to know who to do this if the wanted the option.

Yeah!

Unit testing static methods when using Membership and ProfileBase in MVC 4

So you might be thinking that you want to use the Membership class and the ProfileBase class in Microsoft’s System.Web.Security and System.Web.Providers but then you also want to write unit tests as well so you decide to go stand in traffic instead once you are overcome by the plethora of static nonsense that is the design of these two classes. OK, so it isn’t that bad but it is frustrating however there are ways around it and I wanted to try and blog about some of those techniques in the hope that others won’t have to toil with as much frustration as I did when using these classes. Backgound Basically I wanted to find a clean simple way of making use of and extending Microsofts built in forms authentication. It’s easy to use, relatively secure and can save a lot of time and code, well sort of until you want to unit test. The ProfileBase class is great for extending profiles and adding custom properties so you don’t have to introduce a whole lot of redundant code. A good example of...

Musings on using a module catalog with Prism

anyone using prism is probably familar with the bootstrapper, the documentation defines the bootstrapper as a class responsible for initialization of an application built using Prism and if you dig into the code for it you will see lots of virtual methods that you can override when setting up your application, one of those is the CreateModuleCatalog(). There are several ways to initialize your modules but using an xaml file is incredibly convenient especially if you only want certain parts of your application to load under certain conditions. Where I work we recently decided to employ this feature so that we could load a subset of the application in the warehouse and not have the sales and other modules loading up at run time, on the flip side the warehouse module doesn't load when the sales team loads the application. The great part for the developer is you don't end up with multiple code bases, your core and infrastructure is shared in one application and different people see...

Styling the combox box in WPF

If you want to play with the style of the combo box in WPF the easiest thing to do is use expression blend, drag a combo box control onto you project then click, "Edit Template" -> "Edit a copy"... This will take the entire default template for the combox box and put it into your XAML file. Now go to the XAML and you can grab the entire style and do whatever you like with it... I usually put things like this into a main poject under the solution, something like "shared" is a good name for the project... One thing that is important to note though is that you have to include a reference to the PresentationFramework.Aero assembly cause you will need the Microsoft.Windows.Themes namespace.
