Mocking the JavaScript Timeout Functions in IE 8 with Jasmine 2.0.0

[Wraul]

Hi

I'm having issues using Jasmines clock mock with Karma.
I have reported the issue to Jasmine here but since the issue is only present with Karma I report it here instead.

The following test does not work with Karma in IE 8.

describe('Clock', function() {
    beforeEach(function() {
        jasmine.clock().install();
    });

    afterEach(function() {
        jasmine.clock().uninstall();
    });

    it('works in IE 8', function() {
        var test = jasmine.createSpy('timeout');
        setTimeout(test, 1000);
        jasmine.clock().tick(1000);
        expect(test).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });
});

It works with Jasmines SpecRunner.html.

I have done some experimenting and I can break Jasmines clock mock in IE 8 by calling setTimeout() before the first use of the mock.

@Wraul I think this is strange behavior of IE8

If you put in your test window.setTimeout(test, 1000) instead setTimout(test, 100) all will work.
