Question

I’m trying to get Jasmine (jasmine-headless-webkit), coffeescript and backbone to work together.

I’m close – I’ve got my site running on coffeescript and backbone, and I can run coffeescript written tests – but my problem is, I can’t get my coffeescript tests to do anything interesting.

If I try create an instance of a model in a test, I’ll get an error:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: xxxx

FYI – I’m using this with guard-jasmine-headless-webkit…

I’ve been working with the Jasmine.yml file – but still can’t get these tests to work. Does anyone have any advice?

Trevor was right – the issue was the order in which scripts were loaded (in my jasmine.yml)

I wound up cleaning it out for the most part…

helpers:
     - helpers/**/*.js

src_dir:
  - app/assets/javascripts
  - vendor/assets/javascripts

src_files:
  - "**/*.*"

spec_dir: spec/javascripts

spec_files:
  - "**/*[Ss]pec.*"

stylesheets:
  - stylesheets/**/*.css
