jasmine-node

Dependencies

This node.js module makes the wonderful Pivotal Lab's jasmine spec framework available in node.js.

jasmine

Version 2.0.0 of Jasmine is currently included with node-jasmine.

requirements

Requires version 10.x of Node.js, please upgrade if you're on 0.8, that's just painful.

what's new

90% Refactor, Convert to Coffee-Script
Isolate jasmine.js into a vm with a separate context for clean re-execution of specs
Now using Jasmine 2.0.0
Removed Support for RequireJS as it was buggy, confusing, and I'm pretty sure no one was using it.
Removed Support for Custom Helpers (have to be inside a beforeEach, this is a jasmine change, check out their docs on how to write one)
Removed Custom Timeout (jasmine has added a done function and jasmine.DEfAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL, just use that instead of expecting a test to take no longer than x milliseconds)
Removed TeamCity Reporter (no support for Jasmine 2.0) will be re-added when support is available
Removed JUnit Reporter (no support for Jasmine 2.0) will be re-added when support is available

install

To install the latest official version, use NPM:

npm install -g jasmine-node

usage

Write the specifications for your code in *Spec.js and *Spec.coffee files in the spec/ directory. You can use sub-directories to better organise your specs. In the specs use describe(), it() etc. exactly as you would in client-side jasmine specs.

Note: your specification files must be named as *spec.js, *spec.coffee or *spec.litcoffee, which matches the regular expression /spec\.(js|coffee|litcoffee)$/i; otherwise jasmine-node won't find them! For example, sampleSpecs.js is wrong, sampleSpec.js is right. You can work around this by using either --matchAll or -m REGEXP

If you have installed the npm package, you can run it with:

jasmine-node spec/

If you aren't using npm, you should add pwd/lib to the $NODE_PATH environment variable, then run:

node bin/jasmine-node

You can also require jasmine-node as a node module

jn = require('jasmine-node');
jn.run({specFolders:['./spec']});

The jasmine-node object returned contains a defaults object so that you can see what the expected args are. Pass only the options you need (the rest will be filled in by the defaults) to the .run(<options>) command and away you go!

You can supply the following arguments:

--autoTest - rerun automatically the specs when a file changes
--coffee - load coffee-script which allows execution .coffee files
--help, -h - display this help and exit
--junit - use the junit xml reporter
--match, -m REGEXP - load only specs containing "REGEXPspec"
--matchAll - relax requirement of "spec" in spec file names
--noColor - do not use color coding for output
--noStackTrace - suppress the stack trace generated from a test failure
--nunit - use the nunit xml reporter
--reporterConfig <file> - configuration json file to use with jasmine-reporters
--verbose - print extra information per each test run
--version - show the current version
--watchFolders PATH - when used with --autoTest, watches the given path(s) and runs all tests if a change is detected

Individual files to test can be added as bare arguments to the end of the args.

Example:

jasmine-node --coffee spec/AsyncSpec.coffee spec/CoffeeSpec.coffee spec/SampleSpec.js

jasmine-reporters options

To use default options, just specify --junit or --nunit

If you want to configure, also use --reporterConfig path/to/config.json

Example JSON File with known options

Please checkout the jasmine-reporters repo for more configuration information and documentation

{
    "savePath": "./junit-reports/",
    "consolidateAll": true,
    "consolidate": true,
    "useDotNotation": false,
    "filePrefix": ""
}

growl notifications

Jasmine node can display Growl notifications of test run summaries in addition to other reports. Growl must be installed separately, see node-growl for platform-specific instructions. Pass the --growl flag to enable the notifications.

development

Install the dependent packages by running:

npm install

Run the specs before you send your pull request and ensure all pass:

specs.sh
