How do I load remote javascript when running Jasmine?

[Dan Steinicke]

I'm trying to start using Jasmine-gem on a small existing Rails
project that uses the Google maps API. Normally the app loads the
Google maps JS API in the layouts/application.html.erb but this
doesn't seem to happen when I run rake jasmine (Firebug reports an
error google object not defined).

Is there a standard way to deal with this? Looking through the docs I
only see ways to load local javascript files, not remote ones.

I am using the following versions:

OS X 10.5.8
rails 2.3.8
ruby 1.8.7
jasmine 1.0.1.1

Thanks in advance for any advice folks can offer.

Hi, Dan,

I would highly recommend wrapping your interactions with the google
maps API and test against that wrapper, rather than against the real
API. This will keep you isolated from their library, ensuring control
over your own code changes.

Basically, just write small routines that are related to your domain
that then call the google maps API from that. If you want to test the
wrapper, you can pass a spy in and verify that the appropriate calls
were made.

Thanks, that makes sense.  I wasn't thinking things through, just reacting to the error.  Thanks for putting me back on track.
