Best way to read JSON from file for expectJSON parameter? about frisby

[vlucas]

Frisby doesn't yet support this, but I did recently add an expectJSONSchema method that accepts a JSON file or object that represents a JSONSchema.

Are you using "require(file)" for that? I tried looking through the code but could not really see where you're getting the file from, even though I can see it works!

The problem is that require is not asynchronous, but when I try to use an asyncronous method I don't seem to have anyway of making the Frisby tests wait. Either that, or they don't pick up any tests from within the readFile function.

For example:

fs,readFile(file,etc...)
{

FrisbyTest...

}

The Frisby test never gets picked up. Anyway to get around that?

I do read the file with a synchronous operation, because the file has to be loaded and read before the test pass/fail can be determined. It's here: https://github.com/vlucas/frisby/blob/master/lib/frisby.js#L705
