TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'equals') with Jasmine 4.2

[joonass-visma]

When trying to run our tests with Jasmine 4.2, I get the following error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'equals')

The error is coming from util-patch.js:

function matchersUtilPatched(j$) {
  var util = j$.matchersUtil;
  var oldEquals = util.equals.bind(util); // <--- crashes here because util is undefined
...

According to Jasmine 4 upgrade notes jasmine.matchersUtil is deprecated and apparently has been removed now.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll see what I can do.

It would be amazing if this can be fixed, we need this to update to jasmine 4!
Thank you for your work!

I've played around with it a little bit, and I was not able to find a proper solution to fix the error. Jasmine developers have reworked the globals that I could take advantage of before 4.x, but now I can't figure out how to work around it.

It was a very "hacky" project because I was overriding their internal stuff, so it was a matter of time until it stopped working.

I don't think I'll be making it work again (if it's even possible). I no longer have the motivation to work on it. It was a cool project when I started it and hopefully, it helped people a little bit with their tests :)

I'll update the README and maybe add a stdout warning that it does not support Jasmine 4.x.

I've published a new version of the plugin 3.0.0 that will auto-disable the plugin and display a warning in the karma output if it detects that Jasmine 4.x is used. Also added a section at the top of README explaining it.
