Return promises from QUnit tests
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

Per the QUnit docs, QUnit#test can handle promise resolution and rejection if the test function returns a thenable. Using assert#async when testing promises, therefore, is over-complicating the tests.

AC

  • Any QUnit test that invokes assert#async and is dealing with promises:
    • Shouldn't invoke assert#async.
    • Should return a promise.

Estimations were 1-2. We decided on 2 as this is quite a mechanical change, but there is some tidy up to do. There are also some gotchas with Promise's that we need to look out for when working on this.

I've re-reviewed the patch and it is done and tests pass.

I've noticed we have a lot of .done which makes promises behave non-standard, so I'm going to submit a follow up patch to fix that.
