## What's this?
Something like this:
```javascript
describe("pure awesomeness", function() {
it("should be amazing!", function() {
expect(stuff).toEqual("amazing");
});
it("should be awesome", function() {
expect(moreStuff).toBe("awesome");
});
});
describe("coolness", function() {
it("should be cooler than ice when freezed", function() {
var coolness = CoolingRepository.beCool();
coolness.freeze();
expect(coolness.coolnessRatio).toBe(-100);
});
it("should be cool enough by default", function() {
expect(CoolingRepository.beCool().coolnessRatio).toBe(-5);
});
});
```

Quite simple, it's a custsom Java Junit Runner that allows you to embed Javascript Unit tests (using Jasmine) in your Java-based projects. It fully integrates with your most beloved IDE, your most hated version control system and of course your most needed CI env.
So let's rephrase:

After pressing "GO", the tests will run and you can inspect stuff and step through the code.
Integrated debugging into for example Eclipse does not work for the moment.

# Advanced: Implementation details
## RhinoContext API
The _RhinoContext_ class is basically a wrapper/facade/whatever which allows you to easily manipulate the Javascript scope.
Read <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Rhino_documentation/Scopes_and_Contexts" target="_blank">Rhino docs: scopes and contexts</a> first please!
Creating a new RhinoContext initializes one "root" scope (toplevel), and assignes one context to the current Thread.
### Evaluating async javascript code
Creating another RhinoContext while passing the root scope, uses prototypal inheritance to create a new toplevel scope. This means the root scope is shared across different contexts (and thus different threads).
You can execute the _runAsync_ method, which does this:
* create a new thread and thus a new context
* create a new scope based on the root one -> shared
* execute stuff in the new scope (You can access root JS functions but not modify them, remember prototypal inheritance!)
* cleanup
For example, JasmineSpec uses the _execute_ Jasmine JS function on a spec and calls it in another thread:
```java
baseContext.runAsync(new RhinoRunnable() {
@Override
public void run(RhinoContext context) {
// get some random spec from Jasmine
NativeObject someSpec = (NativeObject) context.evalJS("jasmine.getEnv().currentRunner().suites()[0].specs()[0]");
context.executeFunction(someSpec, "execute");
}
});
```
### Creating a Rhino debugger
Basically creates a _org.mozilla.javascript.tools.debugger.Main_ object. Pitfall: create before loading all required JS files, but after creating the rhino context!
To acutally break once (so users can set breakpoints and press GO), use this:
> debugger.doBreak();
### Executing functions
_executeFunction_ is a convenience method to call a function on a passed NativeObject. The function pointer may reside in the object's prototype, you don't need to explicitly check this in Javascript but you do using Rhino!
## Envjs Utils/Hacks
### Error.stack fix
In firefox, you can get a stacktrace from a JS exception using:
> new Error("BOOM").stack
Of course this does not work in Envjs. But Rhino attaches an internal _rhinoException_ to each JS Error object, so using a bit of magic, now it's possible to call _getStackTrace()_
### Envjs.uri Windows relative paths fix
Use _file:///_ (three forward slashes) if no context has been provided. Works like this:
```javascript
Envjs.uri(path, "file:///" + ("" + Envjs.getcwd()).replace(/\\/g, '/') + "/")
```
### window.setTimeout fix
Used by Jasmine internally for async spec execution, but for some reason the Envjs Javascript implementation is broken.
A simple fix is possible, since using Rhino you can call Java objects in Javascript space! Wow awesome. So just create a new thread and use _sleep_:
```javascript
window.setTimeout = function(closure, timeout) {
spawn(function() {
java.lang.Thread.sleep(timeout);
closure();
});
};
```
