How to use should.js in testacular environment?

[davidshen84]

I like Mocha, and I want to use should.js as my assertion method. But I have no idea how to load this lib. Testacular is not a NodeJs, so I cannot use require. Is there any magic to do this?

As pointed out in tj/should.js#26 you can't use it in the browser. As all test you write in Testacular are run in the browser you can't use it. I suggest you have a look at chai.js and its should syntax. The syntax is nearly the same and it's fully usable in the browser. For a usage example have a look at this example.

FWIW, Chai won't work if you want to test against IE 8. The combination I've found to work reliably cross-platform is Testacular + Mocha + expect.js. I've used it to test IE 8, IE 9, Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and iOS Safari simultaneously.
