I am starting a new project - a reasonably large application - that features just JavaScript code (excepting a little HTML/CSS) and have been giving some thought to a suitable build process and the tooling options available. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had similar choices to make recently. Some requirements I do have some essential requirements (I might add more bells and whistles later, but these are really necessary): - Minification of code : I'd like the option to be really aggressive with this for staging/production builds (think Closure Compiler with advanced optimisations .) - Code quality checking : JSLint or similar - something to throw up any glaring issues with the code. - Unit testing : I have a very strong preference for JsTestDriver when it comes to unit testing JS - the ability to test multiple browsers simultaneously (and quickly!) and to automate easily are the main attractions. That said, I'd happily look into alternatives. - Continuous integration-friendly : we make use of a CI server (BuildBot, for the record) and any build script(s) would have to be easily automated. Possible solutions I've already thought of a couple of possibilities (some details are guesswork, do correct me): Ant Pros : - Seems to involve the least work, not least because of the excellent HTML5 Boilerplate build script as a starting point - Many tools are written (or have wrappers) in Java - including JSLint/Hint, Closure Compiler and JsTestDriver - Ant scripts are standard fare when it comes to
