Basic Use

Sample configuration to run Pivotal Labs' example Jasmine application.

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    pivotal: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js'
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        helpers: 'spec/*Helper.js'
      }
    }
  }
}

Supplying a custom template

Supplying a custom template to the above example

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    customTemplate: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        helpers: 'spec/*Helper.js'
        template: 'custom.tmpl'
      }
    }
  }
}

Sample RequireJS usage

// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  connect: {
    test : {
      port : 8000
    }
  }
  jasmine: {
    requirejs: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        helpers: 'spec/*Helper.js',
        host: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/',
        template: 'requirejs',
        templateOptions: {
          requireConfig: {
            baseUrl: 'src/'
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Note the usage of the 'connect' task configuration. You will need to use a task like grunt-contrib-connect if you need to test your tasks on a running server.

RequireJS notes

If you end up using the requirejs template, it's worth looking at the RequireJS template source in order to familiarize yourself with how it loads your files. The load process essentially consists of a series of nested require blocks, incrementally loading your source and specs:

require([*YOUR SOURCE*], function() {
  require([*YOUR SPECS*], function() {
    require([*GRUNT-CONTRIB-JASMINE FILES*], function() {
      // at this point your tests are already running.
    }
  }
}
