Slow React Tests about generator-react-webpack HOT 6 CLOSED

I am currently reviewing testing and should hopefully have some optimisations soon...

from generator-react-webpack.

karma-webpack and karma itself are pretty slow and you can't do anything with that.

For my private project, I've replaced karma-webpack and karma with mocha and hacked jsdom into tests - thankfully, React works nice inside of jsdom environment. Tests became pretty fast now!

But, this setup is hacky. I don't found a way to inject jsdom inside of mocha test via --require mocha's flag, so ..., every test has header like require('inject-jsdom.js')

I also think that it would be a good idea to make the unit test framework a bit more "pluggable", maybe configurable when setting up new projects?

With the current react release, it is possible to run tests faster by using shallow rendering (@see http://simonsmith.io/unit-testing-react-components-without-a-dom/). This goes without using jsdom.

I will try to find out if this is a suitable change for the generator and provide a feature branch for it soon.
Would be nice if we could have fast tests :).

Hey guys,

Using this settings for karma make the tests pretty fast:
