How to run Jasmine tests on Node.js from command line
node.jsJasmineJasmine Nodenode.js Problem Overview
How do I run Jasmine tests on Node.js from command line? I have installed jasmine-node via npm and written some tests. I want to run tests inside the spec
directory and get results in the terminal, is this possible?
node.js Solutions
Solution 1 - node.js
This should get you going quickly:
-
install Node.js (obviously).
-
Next install Jasmine. Open a command prompt and run:
npm install -g jasmine
-
Next, cd to any directory and set up an example 'project':
jasmine init
jasmine examples
-
Now run your unit tests:
jasmine
If your jasmine.json file is somewhere else besides spec/support/jasmine.json, simply run:
jasmine JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=relative/path/to/your/jasmine.json

Solution 2 - node.js
EDIT
It seems this is no longer the current best answer as the package is unmaintained. Please see the answer below
You can do this
from your test directory
sudo npm install jasmine-node
This installs jasmine into ../node_modules/jasmine-node
then
../node_modules/jasmine-node/bin/jasmine-node --verbose --junitreport --noColor spec
which from my demo does this
Player - 5 ms
should be able to play a Song - 2 ms
when song has been paused - 1 ms
should indicate that the song is currently paused - 0 ms
should be possible to resume - 0 ms
tells the current song if the user has made it a favorite - 1 ms
#resume - 0 ms
should throw an exception if song is already playing - 0 ms

Solution 3 - node.js
The easiest way is to run the command in your project root:
$ npx humile
It founds all your specs which name ends with .spec.js
.
If you think humile is fine for your project, just install it as dev dependency. It speeds up the command.
$ npm install -D humile
Solution 4 - node.js
Try Karma (formerly Testacular), it is a testing library agnostic test runner done by Angular.js team

Jasmine support is well baked.
