Question

I have a simple JavaScript file, color.js, and a matching spec file, colorSpec.js.

color.js:

function Color() 
{

}

colorSpec.js:

require('./color.js');

describe("color", function() {
  it("should work", function() {
    new Color(255, 255, 255);
  });
});

When I run jasmine-node colorSpec.js, I get the following exception:

ReferenceError: Color is not defined

How can I get Jasmine to load my color.js file before running colorSpec.js?

Answer 1

you could load your color.js in the colorSpec.js with a require(). I dont see how jasmine can guess all the dependencies without you telling jasmine what they are exactly in your spec file.
Edit :
A quick and dirty solution , but maybe there is something builtin Jasmine to do that :

fs = require('fs')
myCode = fs.readFileSync('./color.js','utf-8') // depends on the file encoding
eval(myCode)

then your class should be available with jasmine

if you call require directly on your file i think you need to create a module and export it
