Jasmine for ExtendScript

[madevelopers]

I've tried to port Jasmine for ExtendScript using the standalone zip file. I have already fixed the errors on that environment which is basically the window object changed to $.global. However I can't get the output displayed on the console. The file console.js doesn't seem to be used. Was this the one responsible for printing the results?

Also, is there already an implementation for ExtendScript?

Yes, the console.js is unused by default in the standalone runner, but is included in case users want the spec results to be printed with dots/x's/etc and failure messages to the console (which it sounds like you are looking for). One use case for why console.js might be useful is if a user wants this data sent to the browser's console and then wanted to use PhantomJS to grab all of the browser's console output and send it to the user's terminal (making for a quick command line runner for standalone Jasmine).

This is the code you would include in SpecRunner.html to wire up the console reporter:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jasmine-2.0.0/console.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var ConsoleReporter = jasmineRequire.ConsoleReporter();
    var reporter = new ConsoleReporter({timer: new jasmine.Timer, print: function() { console.log.apply(console, arguments); }}); // optionally pass in showColors: true
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
  </script>

Hopefully that's helpful in getting output printed to the console.

I'm not aware of any implementations for ExtendScript, but perhaps some other people will chime in if there already is.

Hi,

@sheelc My use case is slightly different (I'm building chrome extension), but I also need all output to console. I added the code you provided above to boot.js (removing html reporter), it works like a charm, thank you very much.

I understand that console output is not the main functionality at the moment, but is there any way, I can get all jasmine output (not just dots/errors, but also passing suite descriptions etc) in console?

The intent is for the community to be able to write their own reporters, using the two provided objects as examples. The interface is fairly basic - you should be able to test-drive your own "RichConsoleReporter" for your needs. Let us know if you need any help - any gaps you find will be useful for others.

I made a port of Jasmine 2.2.0 for ExtendScript. Help yourselves:
