I was attempting to use pivitol's "jamine-npm" which I believe is supposed to be the official node binary as opposed to jasmine-node. If hitting jasmine directly (client version) does the same then it is not needed.

Regardless I was using this to see if they resolved your issue where they do not have a good entry point to use their runner, compiler.. etc easily. Which btw it seems it is still not that way, hence the bootstrap file.

I don't expect this pull to get through right away. Its just to help get a discussion going on approached to resolve this. I also showed Pivitol the changes I had to do to make it boot via the bootstrap file. So this should make it clear what they need to do (rewrite or incorporate a bootstrap like file).
