Make tests pass with Grunt

[avand]

Currently the tests fail from grunt because document.cookie doesn't work correctly when running on the file system (e.g., file://). There should be a work around.

I was able to get grunt test set up to first start a connect web server with grunt-contrib-connect and then run the tests against http://localhost:8000. This fixes the issues with document.cookie. However, it introduces issues with window.location. It appears that when PhantomJS is driving the session, Location is unknown. Is this because we're running heedlessly?
I
was able to get the tests to pass by modifying the code, defining Location when undefined but then they fail in the browser. It seems to me that the in-browser tests are more valuable so I'll continue to use that as my primary testing ground and revisit this issue again later.

Not sure if it's possible, but maybe run these tests in isolation so grunt test only runs test that'd don't need cookie or location?

That's a good idea. I would want to indicate that in the test output somewhere also. Something to the effect of, "x, y, and z tests skipped — please run them in a browser."

Decided to just do away with command line tests for now. I want to look into how it's possible to get the tests running in-browser with Selenium and then have BrowserStack or SauceLabs run them. But for now, it's fine to just see them in-browser.
