jasmine-runner-node

jasmine-runner-node

• Run Jasmine 2 specs with (or without) PhantomJS
• Compatible with any task runner
• Uses official jasmine-core node module
• Doesn't generate temporary spec runner files
• Doesn't require an external phantom installation
• Detects added/removed spec/js/css files
• Perfect for use with gulp.js

Installation

In your project root, run: npm install jasmine-runner-node --save-dev

Usage

var jasmine = require('jasmine-runner-node');

// start server
jasmine.start({
  root: <dir>,          // project root (default: client module root)
  updateInterval: <ms>, // how often to check for file changes (default: 1000)
  port: <num>,          // port number to serve jasmine on (default: 8888)
  files: {              // (in order of spec runner inclusion)
    css: <file glob or glob list>,
    specHelper: <file glob or glob list>,
    js: <file glob or glob list>,
    spec: <file glob or glob list>,
    other: <file glob or glob list>
  }
});

// stop server
jasmine.stop()

// start server, run phantom, stop server
// (also takes all of the above, except updateInterval)
jasmine.run({
  showColors: <bool>,      // colorize phantomjs output (default: true)
  testOutput: <stream>,    // stream for test report output (default: stdout)
  phantomOutput: <stream>, // stream for phantom output (default: stderr)
});

Testing

Run npm test :)

Caveats

The jasmine-core node module must be pulled in as a dependency of jasmine-runner-node and not of any parent module, as it expects jasmine-core to be present in jasmine-runner-node/node_modules. This means that jasmine-core should not be a direct dependency of any node package that depends on jasmine-runner-node.
