[Pkg-javascript-devel] RFP: CasperJS - navigation scripting & testing utility for PhantomJS

[Julian Taylor]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package name: CasperJS
Version: 1.0.4
URL: http://casperjs.org/
License: MIT

CasperJS is an open source navigation scripting & testing utility
written in Javascript for the PhantomJS WebKit headless browser and
SlimerJS (Gecko). It eases the process of defining a full navigation
scenario and provides useful high-level functions, methods & syntactic
sugar for doing common tasks such as:

defining & ordering browsing navigation steps
filling & submitting forms
clicking & following links
capturing screenshots of a page (or part of it)
testing remote DOM
logging events
downloading resources, including binary ones
writing functional test suites, saving results as JUnit XML
scraping Web contents



I require it in order to be able to run the javascript testsuite of
the upcoming version 2 of IPython, but I have no clue about javascript
so I do not fell comfortable packaging it myself. I can help out if
needed.
