Description: Run jasmine specs headlessly through PhantomJS.
Author: Grunt Team
Latest version: 0.5.3-phantom2

# grunt-contrib-jasmine v0.5.3 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jasmine.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jasmine)

> Run jasmine specs headlessly through PhantomJS.



## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`

If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

```shell
npm install grunt-contrib-jasmine --save-dev
```

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');
```




## Jasmine task
_Run this task with the `grunt jasmine` command._

Automatically builds and maintains your spec runner and runs your tests headlessly through phantomjs.

Substantial credit goes to [Camille Reynders](http://www.creynders.be/) (@creynders) for the first decent implementation
of jasmine through grunt which served as motivation for all the future work.

#### Run specs locally or on an ad hoc server

Run your tests on your local filesystem or via a server task like [grunt-contrib-connect][].

#### Customize your SpecRunner with templates

Supply your templates that will be used to automatically build the SpecRunner.

##### AMD Support

Supports AMD tests via the [grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs](https://github.com/jsoverson/grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs) module

##### Third party templates

- [RequireJS](https://github.com/jsoverson/grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs)
- [Code coverage output with Istanbul](https://github.com/maenu/grunt-template-jasmine-istanbul)
- [StealJS](https://github.com/jaredstehler/grunt-template-jasmine-steal)

### Options

#### src
Type: `String|Array`

*Minimatch* - Your source files. These are the files that you are testing.

#### options.specs
Type: `String|Array`

*Minimatch* - Your Jasmine specs.

#### options.vendor
Type: `String|Array`

*Minimatch* - Third party libraries, generally loaded before anything else happens in your tests. Libraries
like jQuery and Backbone.

#### options.helpers
Type: `String|Array`

*Minimatch* - Non-source, non-spec helper files. In the default runner these are loaded after `vendor` files

#### options.styles
Type: `String|Array`

*Minimatch* - CSS files that get loaded after the jasmine.css

#### options.version
Type: `String`  
Default: '1.3.1'

This is the jasmine-version which will be used. currently available versions are:

* 1.0.0
* 1.1.0
* 1.2.0
* 1.3.0
* 1.3.1

#### options.outfile
Type: `String`  
Default: `_SpecRunner.html`

The auto-generated specfile that phantomjs will use to run your tests.
Automatically deleted upon normal runs

#### options.keepRunner
Type: `Boolean`  
Default: `false`  

Prevents the auto-generated specfile used to run your tests from being automatically deleted.

#### options.junit.path
Type: `String`  
Default: undefined

Path to output JUnit xml

#### options.junit.consolidate
Type: `Boolean`  
Default: `false`

Consolidate the JUnit XML so that there is one file per top level suite.

#### options.host
Type: `String`  
Default: ''

The host you want phantomjs to connect against to run your tests.

e.g. if using an ad hoc server from within grunt

```js
host : 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/'
```

Or, using templates

```js
host : 'http://127.0.0.1:<%= connect.port %>/'
```

Not defining a host will mean your specs will be run from the local filesystem.

#### options.template
Type: `String` `Object`  
Default: undefined

Custom template used to generate your Spec Runner. Parsed as underscore templates and provided
the expanded list of files needed to build a specrunner.

You can specify an object with a `process` method that will be called as a template function.
See the [Template API Documentation](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jasmine/wiki/Jasmine-Templates) for more details.

#### options.templateOptions
Type: `Object`  
Default: `{}`

Options that will be passed to your template via an 'options' hash. Used to pass settings to the template.

### Flags

Name: `build`

Turn on this flag in order to rebuild the specrunner without deleting it. This is useful when troubleshooting templates,
running in a browser, or as part of a watch chain e.g.

```js
watch: {
  pivotal : {
    files: ['src/**/*.js', 'specs/**/*.js'],
    tasks: 'jasmine:pivotal:build'
  }
}
```

### Filtering specs

**filename**
`grunt jasmine --filter=foo` will run spec files that have `foo` in their file name.

**folder**
`grunt jasmine --filter=/foo` will run spec files within folders that have `foo*` in their name.

**wildcard**
`grunt jasmine --filter=/*-bar` will run anything that is located in a folder `*-bar`

**comma separated filters**
`grunt jasmine --filter=foo,bar` will run spec files that have `foo` or `bar` in their file name.

**flags with space**
`grunt jasmine --filter="foo bar"` will run spec files that have `foo bar` in their file name.
`grunt jasmine --filter="/foo bar"` will run spec files within folders that have `foo bar*` in their name.

#### Example application usage

- [Pivotal Labs' sample application](https://github.com/jsoverson/grunt-contrib-jasmine-example)


#### Basic Use

Sample configuration to run Pivotal Labs' example Jasmine application.

```js
// 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

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

#### Sample RequireJS/NPM Template usage

```js
// Example configuration
grunt.initConfig({
  jasmine: {
    yourTask: {
      src: 'src/**/*.js',
      options: {
        specs: 'spec/*Spec.js',
        template: require('grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs')
      }
    }
  }
});
```

NPM Templates are just node modules, so you can write and treat them as such.

Please see the [grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs](https://github.com/jsoverson/grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs) documentation
for more information on the RequireJS template.
