Code is in /tests/qunittests/

See README in this directory for instructions how to run the tests.

Note that some similar work has been done in ​https://github.com/sebleier/django/tree/qunit
It'd be interesting to compare the two approaches, and also coordinate to avoid duplicating work.

See also #16122.

Well, the approach we took on Github (Sebleier's fork) is much more generic and prepared for app centric test running.

Replying to jezdez:

I actually played a bit with that branch a couple of weeks ago and it's looking great. I was wondering if you guys had thought of a way to test the admin interface (e.g. dynamically adding or removing inlines)? This would require generating a DOM from the up-to-date admin templates and with some test data. Perhaps we need to introduce a management command to generate fresh HTML files from the latest admin codebase, so that these can be tested with the admin javascript via qunit. I haven't thought of it much beyond that, but I'll try to get to it next week.

I see that the sebleier/qunit branch is much further developed than I initially thought. I will add my tests to this branch.

Figure we just want *something* to unit test the django admin javascript as a first pass to fixing the more general problem. PR here: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/3003. Needs more tests, and still 31 jshint errors.

Do we still need this now that we have selenium tests?
