grunt-contrib-jasmine

Run jasmine specs headlessly through PhantomJS.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-jasmine --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');

Jasmine task

Run this task with the grunt jasmine command.

Automatically builds and maintains your spec runner and runs your tests headlessly through phantomjs.

Substantial credit goes to Camille Reynders (@creynders) for the first decent implementation of jasmine through grunt which served as motivation for all the future work.

Run specs locally or on an ad hoc server

Run your tests on your local filesystem or via a server task like grunt-contrib-connect.

AMD Support

Supports AMD tests via the grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs module

Customize your SpecRunner with your own template

Supply your templates that will be used to automatically build the SpecRunner.

Third party templates

Example application usage

Pivotal Labs' sample application

Options

src

Type: String|Array

Minimatch - Your source files. These are the files that you are testing.

options.specs

Type: String|Array

Minimatch - Your Jasmine specs.

options.vendor

Type: String|Array

Minimatch - Third party libraries, generally loaded before anything else happens in your tests. Libraries like jQuery and Backbone.

options.helpers

Type: String|Array

Minimatch - Non-source, non-spec helper files. In the default runner these are loaded after vendor files

options.styles

Type: String|Array

Minimatch - CSS files that get loaded after the jasmine.css

options.version

Type: String Default: '1.3.1'

This is the jasmine-version which will be used. currently available versions are:

1.0.0
1.1.0
1.2.0
1.3.0
1.3.1

options.outfile

Type: String Default: _SpecRunner.html

The auto-generated specfile that phantomjs will use to run your tests. Automatically deleted upon normal runs

options.keepRunner

Type: Boolean Default: false

Prevents the auto-generated specfile used to run your tests from being automatically deleted.

options.junit.path

Type: String Default: undefined

Path to output JUnit xml

options.junit.consolidate

Type: Boolean Default: false

Consolidate the JUnit XML so that there is one file per top level suite.

options.host

Type: String Default: ''

The host you want phantomjs to connect against to run your tests.

e.g. if using an ad hoc server from within grunt

host : 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/'

Or, using templates

host : 'http://127.0.0.1:<%= connect.port %>/'

Not defining a host will mean your specs will be run from the local filesystem.

options.template

Type: String Object Default: undefined

Custom template used to generate your Spec Runner. Parsed as underscore templates and provided the expanded list of files needed to build a specrunner.

You can specify an object with a process method that will be called as a template function. See the Template API Documentation for more details.

options.templateOptions

Type: Object Default: {}

Options that will be passed to your template via an 'options' hash. Used to pass settings to the template.

Flags

Name: build

Turn on this flag in order to rebuild the specrunner without deleting it. This is useful when troubleshooting templates, running in a browser, or as part of a watch chain e.g.

watch: {
  pivotal : {
    files: ['src/**/*.js', 'specs/**/*.js'],
    tasks: 'jasmine:pivotal:build'
  }
}

Basic Use

Sample configuration to run Pivotal Labs' example Jasmine application.

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    pivotal: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        helpers: 'spec/*Helper.js'
      }
    }
  }
});

Supplying a custom template

Supplying a custom template to the above example

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    customTemplate: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        helpers: 'spec/*Helper.js',
        template: 'custom.tmpl'
      }
    }
  }
});

Sample RequireJS/NPM Template usage

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    yourTask: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        template: require('grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs')
      }
    }
  }
});

NPM Templates are just node modules, so you can write and treat them as such.

Please see the grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs documentation for more information on the RequireJS template.
