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.
Example application usage
Options
src
Type: String|Array
Minimatch - This defines your source files. These are the files that you are testing.
options.specs
Type: String|Array
Minimatch - These are your Jasmine specs.
options.vendor
Type: String|Array
Minimatch - These are third party libraries, generally loaded before anything else happens in your tests. You'll likely add things like jQuery and Backbone here.
options.helpers
Type: String|Array
Minimatch - These are non-source, non-spec helper files. In the default runner these are loaded after vendor
files
options.outfile
Type: String
Default: _SpecRunner.html
This is the auto-generated specfile that phantomjs will use to run your tests. This is automatically deleted upon normal runs
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: ''
This is 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
Specify a custom template used to generate your Spec Runner. Templates are 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: {}
These options will be passed to your template as an 'options' hash so that you can provide settings to your template.
Flags
Name: build
Turn on this flag in order to rebuild the specrunner without deleting it. This is useful when troublshooting 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.
