Aurelia view-model testing - karma-runner

I would like to be able to test Aurelia view models. I have tried doing it as described:
http://patrickwalters.net/unit-testing-your-es6-view-models-my-best-practices-for-aurelia/
... but the current Aurelia-templating library does not support the createForUnitTest method/function call. I was wondering if there is an alternative. The docs in Aurelia.io docs does not have any docs on view model testing.
I greatly appreciate any input/update

Ansible CallbackBase result object content

Our dev team provides us an Ansible package to work with. I noticed thy develop a custom stdout_callback and I'm trying to understand it.
I'm looking at the code of the class CallbackBase available here and I noticed the result variable but I can't find a description of it's content.
Is there a place I can find such information?
Next question, how does Ansible call such callback? CallbackBase contains several methods but I'd like to know where those methods are called.
Thanks for your feedbacks

Summary of ways you can control the request/response flow in play in controllers & actions

Can someone summarize with a very short code snippet (or link to docs) the ways you can control/modify the request/response cycle in play. (scala version if that matters)
So far I know of:
Create a base controller that your other controllers will extend/inherit
Use #Before and #After
Will this work in the latest 2.2.2 version?
Action compositions http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0/ScalaActionsComposition
What else is there?
Action Composition: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaActionsComposition
The Global object: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaGlobal
Interception with filters or onRouteRequest: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaInterceptors
Filters vs Action composition: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaHttpFilters
The method with a base controller looks more like a dirty hack to me. Especially when using Play with Scala (in Java everything looks like a dirty hack :) )

Error in SAPUI5 routing / binding with 1.18 SDK example: SplitApp

When testing the SplitApp demo app provided with the 1.18.5 SAPUI5 SDK there seems to be a conflict between the routing and model binding. If you navigate to a detail page and then refresh the browser window the data binding fails. This would be the same as if you bookmarked the app on a specific view.
Just wondering if anyone knows why this is? Is it a conflict with routing and data binding? My debugging is not showing anything up yet only that the model is empty when the detail view loads.
This app uses the new Component-based router where you define your routes in the component metadata.
I've also written a small test app here js1972/test ยท GitHub (branch "routes") which does similar and has the same issue.
the following bookmark works with the fake service
../test-routes/#/detail/Categories(2)
../test-routes/#/detail/Categories(3)
doesnt
request.onSend in ODataModelFakeService.js doesnt cater for all scenarios
an alternative maybe to use sap.ui.core.util.MockServer with a cutdown metadata.xml and json files for the Category and Product entities
I've ran into the same issue and just want to share my findings and solution:
The detail view waits until the list in the master view is loaded. If the service you are using is quite slow the list has already finsihed loading, but the model has not finished loading and thus the detail view returns an error.
To fix this I've attached an "requestCompleted"-event to the model and created a jQuery.Deferred object for the model.
The master then waits for the resolve of the model.
oModel.attachEvent("requestCompleted",
function() {
this.oModelFinishedDeferred.resolve();
this.getEventBus().publish("Model",
"ModelFinished");}
, this);

IoC, MVC4 Web API & HttpParameterBinding/ParameterBindingAttribute

I'm using ASP.Net MVC 4 RTM Web API. I have a controller action with a parameter that I'd like to populate via custom model binding. To achieve this, I created a class that derives from System.Web.Http.Controllers.HttpParameterBinding that sets the value of this parameter. I then created an attribute class that derives from System.Web.Http.ParameterBindingAttribute which I use to decorate the parameter on my controller action.
This is all working great, my HttpParameterBinding class is populating the action parameter correctly. The problem I have is that my custom parameter binding class has a dependency that I'd like resolved via my IoC container (Unity). Is there a way to override how Web API creates HttpParameterBinding instances so that I can build up my custom binding class dependency from Unity? I was able to do something similar for a filter attribute by creating a custom filter provider that uses Unity's BuildUp method to populate dependencies, however I'm not seeing anything similar for Web API's HttpParameterBindings.
In general: to use IoC / Unity in the Web API you need to set it up seperately.
Try downloading the nuget package Unity.WebApi and see if that helps!
Take a look at this article: Parameter Binding in WebAPI
It walks through a couple different options from Converters to Binders to BinderProviders. It sounds like you may be able to write a custom ModelBinderProvider which knows how to provide your dependency. If that isn't high enough in the chain you can look at replacing the default IActionValueBinder service. It's a DefaultActionValueBinder instance, which you can extend or simply re-implement.
I also highly recommend downloading the WebAPI source code, as it's been an incredible help for these issues as I've run into them. Here's the WebAPI source code. I recommend downloading it so you can open it in VS for easy navigation.
Feel free to check out FlitBit too (It's very modular, don't let the number of packages scare you off)! I'm working on a WebAPI package for supporting FlitBit, specifically FlitBit.IoC and FlitBit.Dto. I'll add an update if I work out my IoC issue, since it's very similar to yours.

Implementing multiple views via GWT-platform?

I'm implementing a web application which will support different views according to different browsers. For example, In mobile browsers, it will show a smaller view to users with less UI elements. But we'd like to use same presenters.
I have a solution on hand - adding browser type detecting logic in ClientModule, e.g:
if (browser == "iphone") {
bindPresenter(HomePresenter.class, HomePresenter.MyView.class, HomeView.class, HomePresenter.MyProxy.class);
} else if (browser == "ipad") {
bindPresenter(HomePresenter.class, HomePresenter.MyView.class, IPadHomeView.class, HomePresenter.MyProxy.class);
} else {
bindPresenter(HomePresenter.class, HomePresenter.MyView.class, IPhoneHomeView.class, HomePresenter.MyProxy.class);
}
I'm wondering if it is possible to use some ways like deferred binding in GWT-platform. (but I'd like to follow GWT-plarform's structure rather than adding deferred binding code in xxx.gwt.xml).
So my questions are:
1) Are there any other ways to implement the feature mentioned above?
2) Which way is the best, and why?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

There is an example in the gwt samples folder that does something like you are wanting. I use a version of the sample code in my project -except using Gin to handle the clientfactory functionality. The sample is called mobilewebapp. It involves using a formfactor method in your .gwt.xml to determine which system you are on - in this case it breaks it down into desktop, mobile, and tablet. Then later in your gwt.xml it trades out client factories based on the form factor - I trade out gin models instead. Here is a link to the source for mobilwebapp
GWT does not allow you to set custom user agent types. You're limited to their set of gecko, gecko1_7, safari, IE6, IE7, IE8, and opera.
That being said, you can access the user agent directly and set your logic to switch accordingly with Window.Navigator.getUserAgent(), or via a property provider.
See this similar question on how to do mobile browser detection in GWT for MVP.
Check the gwtp google group, its a good source, and someone posted a pdf about his efforts regarding the sake problem in there.
Anyway, if I recall correctly, he holds multiple gin modules for each client with the presenters and views, runs custom js code on loading and than installs the correct module on the the ginClinet class.
