Tried to use V8 command line with Jasmine stand alone 1.0.2, but got
an error.

[~/Downloads/jasmine-standalone-1.0.2/lib/jasmine-1.0.2]$ v8
jasmine.js jasmine-html.js
jasmine.js:52: TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined
if (original.apply) {
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined
at Object.bindOriginal_ (jasmine.js:52:15)
at jasmine.js:62:30

Fixed by adding a condition check on line 52:

Change from:
if (original.apply) {

To:
if ( (orignial!=null) && original.apply ) {

The change fixed error.

Which V8 command line are you using? Not Node.js?

I've run into this in the past. There isn't any 'official' v8 executable, but homebrew does rename v8's test-shell to 'v8' and installs it in /usr/bin

It's uncommonjs at best.

The other possibility is that it's an older version of The Ruby Racer, which did ship with an executable named 'v8', but which was removed in order not to conflict with an official shell should they ever decide to create one.
