`rake jasmine` fails

[Matt Prather]

Last weekend I dove into the Jasmine codebase for the first time.

This is also my first dive into contributing to open source.

I'm working on a fix that's not small in terms of the amount of code I'll be modifying, and there's only one problem I've had following along with the "how to contribute" instructions:

https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

I'm suspecting this problem might be related to a quote I saw in this mailing list / forum while researching for answers to my problem:

"We don't guarantee that any Jasmine core development can be done on Windows."

My problem, in one short sentence, is that "rake jasmine" doesn't work for me, after I've followed all instructions correctly.

I'm working on Issue 844, and in so doing I already managed to get a minor pull request accepted without testing the specs in browser (via "rake jasmine"), because I was 95% sure it wasn't breaking them.

But I really don't want to look like a jerk who is wasting people's time if I submit a pull request to fix #844 and my fix fails spec testing, which would be something that I was supposed to take care of before submitting.

Here's the output of the command `rake jasmine`:

C:\Users\M\Desktop\jasmine-dev\jasmine>rake jasmine --trace

If you're curious if this means I didn't bundle correctly, I promise you I got the output above after completing the following commands below.

I'm guessing I'll have to go through the process of running something like Hyper-V and installing some Linux OS on a VM -- by the way that's something else I would be diving into for the first time -- and then testing my fix.

But if there's any chance I can just test my development on this one issue now from my Windows environment, I'd be so happy about that because I've taken my attention away from important school projects to try to contribute a fix to Jasmine, and I'd like to get back to that before I worry about Linux installs.

I would also try running `bundle exec rake jasmine` since that should load up all the gems from the Gemfile correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows machine at the moment to test this on and see what's happening.

Hope this helps.

bundle exec rake jasmine

Brilliant. This worked. Now I have a local server running all the Jasmine specs.

My only experience with Ruby is two single-day acquaintance sessions on Codecademy and Code School. A while ago. But I do use Python a fair amount.

Which is to say that hiccups involving Ruby are hard to troubleshoot....
