Using Jasmine and with the MEAN.JS structure

[Alexander Sloan]

I'm struggling to get Jasmine set up and module/require working correctly. As per the examples, I can require in controllers without problem using something like:

var user =  require('../../app/controllers/users.server.controller');

However, this falls apart with require statements inside users.server.controller.js.  In MEAN.JS the user controller is just an aggregation of several controllers:

module.exports = _.extend(

require('./users/users.authentication.server'),

require('./users/users.authorization.server'),

require('./users/users.password.server'),

require('./users/users.profile.server')

);

The relatives paths seem to be incorrect when running Jasmine leading to module not found errors:

module.js:340

    throw err;

          ^

Error: Cannot find module './users/users.authentication.server'

    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

    ...

Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to configure this so I don't have to change this structure?

It seems like this is a Require setup issue. You can play with some different config options like baseUrl and paths.

You can read a full explanation on how to integrate RequireJs/Jasmine here https://medium.com/sons-of-javascript/angular-integrating-jasmine-with-requirejs-amd-7cde3e28895e and a working sample here https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine and github https://github.com/gsans/jasmine-require-bootstrap

Hope it helps.
