$ ( jQuery ) is undefined in jasmine

[Ra M]

My first day with Jasmine and I cannot seem to solve the error.

Here is the error.

ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Here is the order of the libraries in the SpecRunner.html.

  <!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="spec/PlayerSpec.js"></script>  -->

  <script type="text/javascript" src="spec/RahulTest.js"></script>

 

Here is part of the spec

 it("tracks that the spy was called", function() {

    expect(foo.setBar).toHaveBeenCalled();

    foo.M1();

    $("#div1").html("<div>Yes</div>");

    

    expect(foo.M1).toHaveBeenCalled();

  });

The line in red is causing the error. Somehow, Jasmine cannot find jQuery ($).

Question

Usually we do $(document).ready(function(){ 

// This is where we access jQuery...

});

Is that needed in the spec ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I believe support was added in this commit: https://github.com/pivotal/jasmine-gem/commit/29d77b253a53b35d82c578723b12ebae90a16e6f, however it looks like it hasn't be released yet. A workaround for now is to use a local version of jquery instead of one from a cdn.
