karma-jasmine

Adapter for the Jasmine testing framework.

Installation

Jasmine 1.3 (docs)

The easiest way is to keep karma-jasmine as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.12.0",
    "karma-jasmine": "~0.1.0"
  }
}

You can simply do it by:

npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev

Jasmine 2.0 (docs)

The easiest way is to keep karma-jasmine as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.12.0",
    "karma-jasmine": "~0.2.0"
  }
}

You can simply do it by:

npm install karma-jasmine@2_0 --save-dev

Note: Since karma-jasmine 0.3.0 the jasmine library is no longer bundled with karma-jasmine and you have to install it on your own. You can simply do it by:

npm install jasmine-core --save-dev

Configuration

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    frameworks: ['jasmine'],

    files: [
      '*.js'
    ]
  });
};

If you want to run only some tests matching a given pattern you can do this in the following way

karma start &
karma run -- --grep=<pattern>

or

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    ...
    client: {
      args: ['--grep', '<pattern>'],
      ...
    }
  });
};
