This node.js module makes the wonderful Pivotal Lab's jasmine (http://github.com/pivotal/jasmine) spec framework available in node.js.
npm install jasmine-node -g
Write the specifications for your code in *.js and *.coffee files in the spec/ directory (note: your specification files must end with either .spec.js or .spec.coffee; otherwise jasmine-node won't find them!). You can use sub-directories to better organise your specs.
If you have installed the npm package, you can run it with:
jasmine-node spec/
If you aren't using npm, you should add pwd/lib to the $NODE_PATH
environment variable, then run:
node lib/jasmine-node/cli.js
You can supply the following arguments:
--autotest, provides automatic execution of specs after each changes--coffee, allow execution of .coffee specs--color, indicates spec output should uses color to indicates passing (green) or failing (red) specs--noColor, do not use color in the output--verbose, verbose output as the specs are run--junitreport, export tests results as junitreport xml format'
Checkout spec/SampleSpecs.js to see how to use it.
jasmine-node includes an alternate syntax for writing asynchronous tests. Accepting a done callback in the specification will trigger jasmine-node to run the test asynchronously waiting until the done() callback is called.
it("should respond with hello world", function(done) {
request("http://localhost:3000/hello", function(error, response, body){
expect(body).toEqual("hello world");
done();
});
});An asynchronous test will fail after 5000 ms if done() is not called. This timeout can be changed by setting jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL or by passing a timeout interval in the specification.
it("should respond with hello world", function(done) {
request("http://localhost:3000/hello", function(error, response, body){
done();
}, 250); // timeout after 250 ms
});
Install the dependent packages by running:
npm install
Run the specs before you send your pull request:

or
