How to show passed test in Jasmine?

Question

When running jasmine it only presents dot(.) for successful tests, and only verbose if the test fails.

//test.spec.js
describe('jasmine', ()=>{
  it('should show this text', () =>{
  });
})

My running command is: jasmine-node test.spec.js

The result:

.
Finished in 0.003 seconds
1 test, 1 assertion, 0 failures, 0 skipped

How to make jasmine display this test result like jasmine should show this text?

If it helps your search, you're asking how to configure or use a different reporter with jasmine. – Serotherapy

I realise that this does not answer your question directly, but Mocha does list passing tests for you, it maybe an alternative for you to try. – Decorum

Answer 1

Use the --verbose flag:

> jasmine-node test.spec.js --verbose

jasmine - 0 ms
    should show this test - 0 ms

Finished in 0.007 seconds
1 test, 1 assertion, 0 failures, 0 skipped

Note: jasmine-node doesn't seem to be actively maintained. The jasmine CLI supports tests run from the command line.

Although jasmine doesn't have a verbose flag, you can use a custom terminal reporter (example: jasmine-terminal-reporter). From jasmine's documentation, add a helper file to load the custom reporter and include the helper in your configuration file.

helpers/terminal-reporter.js

var Reporter = require('jasmine-terminal-reporter');
var reporter = new Reporter(options);

jasmine.addReporter(reporter);

spec/support/jasmine.json

{
  "spec_dir": "spec",
  "spec_files": [
    "**/*[sS]pec.js",
  ],
  "helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.js"
  ],
  stopSpecOnExpectationFailure: false,
  random: false
}

--verbose works for jasmine-node but not jasmine. Any solution for jasmine? – Pointing

edited my answer to include a solution for jasmine, it allows setup of custom reporters. – Serotherapy

thank you for you answer. In jasmine docs, there is var Jasmine = require('jasmine'); var jasmine = new Jasmine();. Do you know where should I place these lines of code. jasmine init only creates spec/support/jasmine.json. There is not any .js file to put these lines – Pointing

in your answer, you mentioned helpers/terminal-reporter.js. How can I let jasmine know and use this file, not others? – Pointing

oh. I think that i figured thing out. .js file could be any file. The only need is to execute node with that file. There is no need for jasmine cli, but jasmine local node is required. Helper files path is defined in the config object. Thank you – Pointing

jasmine-terminal-reporter seems also no more maintained. – Preciosity

I had to do jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter); in Jasmine 3.7.0 – Lankester

I know this is a relatively old question but found something which worked for me

describe('Desc1',() => {
   
    afterEach(() => {
      const myReporter = {
        specDone: (result) => {
          console.log('Spec FullName: ' + result.fullName);
          console.log('Spec Result: ' + result.status);
        }
      };
      jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(myReporter);
    });
})

Works well, though you can paste the new reporter a setup.js helper rather than an aftereach (which might add it a bunch of times) – Gatias

Answer 3

You can use jasmine-spec-reporter.

Just add at the top of your test file:

import { SpecReporter } from 'jasmine-spec-reporter';
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ spec: { displayStacktrace: 'pretty' } }));
