## `static` Class Test.Runner

Runs test suites and test cases, providing events to allowing for the interpretation of test results.

### Properties

#### _cur - `private static TestNode`

Pointer to the current node in the test tree.

#### _log - `private static Boolean`

Indicates if the TestRunner will log events or not.

#### _root - `private static TestNode`

Pointer to the root node in the test tree.

#### _waiting - `private static Boolean`

Indicates if the TestRunner is waiting as a result of wait() being called.

#### masterSuite - `private static Y.Test.Suite`

Suite on which to attach all TestSuites and TestCases to be run.

### Methods

#### _addTestCaseToTestTree

`private static Void _addTestCaseToTestTree ( parentNode , testCase )`
Adds a test case to the test tree as a child of the specified node.

Parameters:
  `parentNode <TestNode>` The node to add the test case to as a child.
  `testCase <Y.Test.Case>` The test case to add.

Returns: `Void`

#### _addTestSuiteToTestTree

`private static Void _addTestSuiteToTestTree ( parentNode , testSuite )`
Adds a test suite to the test tree as a child of the specified node.

Parameters:
  `parentNode <TestNode>` The node to add the test suite to as a child.
  `testSuite <Y.Test.Suite>` The test suite to add.

Returns: `Void`

#### _buildTestTree

`private static Void _buildTestTree ( )`
Builds the test tree based on items in the master suite. The tree is a hierarchical representation of the test suites, test cases, and test functions. The resulting tree is stored in _root and the pointer _cur is set to the root initially.

Returns: `Void`

#### _handleError

`private static Void _handleError ( error )`
Handles an error as if it occurred within the currently executing test. This is for mock methods that may be called asynchronously and therefore out of the scope of the TestRunner. Previously, this error would bubble up to the browser. Now, this method is used to tell TestRunner about the error. This should never be called by anyplace other than the Mock object.

Parameters:
  `error <Error>` The error object.

Returns: `Void`

#### _handleTestObjectComplete

`private Void _handleTestObjectComplete ( node )`
Handles the completion of a test object's tests. Tallies test results from one level up to the next.

Parameters:
  `node <TestNode>` The TestNode representing the test object.

Returns: `Void`

#### _logEvent

`private static Void _logEvent ( event )`
Logs TestRunner events using Y.log().

Parameters:
  `event <Object>` The event object for the event.

Returns: `Void`

#### _next

`private static TestNode _next ( )`
Retrieves the next node in the test tree.

Returns: `TestNode`
  The next node in the test tree or null if the end is reached.

#### _run

`private static Object _run ( testObject )`
Runs a test case or test suite, returning the results.

Parameters:
  `testObject <Y.Test.Case|Y.Test.Suite>` The test case or test suite to run.

Returns: `Object`
  Results of the execution with properties passed, failed, and total.

#### _runTest

`private static Void _runTest ( node )`
Runs a single test based on the data provided in the node.

Parameters:
  `node <TestNode>` The TestNode representing the test to run.

Returns: `Void`

#### add

`static Void add ( testObject )`
Adds a test suite or test case to the list of test objects to run.

Parameters:
  `testObject <object>` Either a TestCase or a TestSuite that should be run.

Returns: `Void`

#### clear

`static Void clear ( )`
Removes all test objects from the runner.

Returns: `Void`

#### disableLogging

`static Void disableLogging ( )`
Disable logging via Y.log(). Test output will not be visible unless TestRunner events are subscribed to.

Returns: `Void`

#### enableLogging

`static Void enableLogging ( )`
Enable logging via Y.log(). Test output is published and can be read via logreader.

Returns: `Void`

#### isWaiting

`static Boolean isWaiting ( )`
Indicates if the TestRunner is waiting for a test to resume

Returns: `Boolean`
  True if the TestRunner is waiting, false if not.

#### resume

`static Void resume ( segment )`
Resumes the TestRunner after wait() was called.

Parameters:
  `segment <Function>` The function to run as the rest of the haulted test.

Returns: `Void`

#### run

`static Void run ( )`
Runs the test suite.

Returns: `Void`

#### testcasecomplete

`static testcasecomplete ( )`
