JavaScript Integration Testing

Question

I wish to test the full functionality of a particular JavaScript component, which makes a cross-origin ajax call. I am making use of PhantomJS to perform testing without a browser. Is there a way I can mock the origin header in this framework, so that the ajax call succeeds?

Answer 1

There is a command-line switch web-security=false which disables cross-origin check when an ajax call is made in PhantomJS. Use it before the script argument in command line:

/usr/bin/phantomjs --web-security=false /path/to/script.js
