TypeError: Player is not a constructor

[Jeff S.]

I just installed the Jasmine gem and ran the Rails generators. When I
start use rake jasmine and go to localhost:8888, all the bundled tests
fail, starting with this one:

Player
when song has been paused
should indicate that the song is currently paused
TypeError: Player is not a constructor in http://localhost:8888/__spec__/PlayerSpec.js
(line 6)

Here is my spec/javascripts/support/jasmine.yml

# src_files
#
# Return an array of filepaths relative to src_dir to include before
jasmine specs.
# Default: []
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# src_files:
# - lib/source1.js
# - lib/source2.js
# - dist/**/*.js
#
src_files:
- public/javascripts/prototype.js
- public/javascripts/effects.js
- public/javascripts/controls.js
- public/javascripts/dragdrop.js
- public/javascripts/application.js
- public/javascripts/**/*.js

# stylesheets
#
# Return an array of stylesheet filepaths relative to src_dir to
include before jasmine specs.
# Default: []
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# stylesheets:
# - css/style.css
# - stylesheets/*.css
#
stylesheets:
- stylesheets/**/*.css

# helpers
#
# Return an array of filepaths relative to spec_dir to include before
jasmine specs.
# Default: ["helpers/**/*.js"]
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# helpers:
# - helpers/**/*.js
#
helpers:
- helpers/**/*.js

# spec_files
#
# Return an array of filepaths relative to spec_dir to include.
# Default: ["**/*[sS]pec.js"]
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# spec_files:
# - **/*[sS]pec.js
#
spec_files:
- **/*[sS]pec.js

# src_dir
#
# Source directory path. Your src_files must be returned relative to
this path. Will use root if left blank.
# Default: project root
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# src_dir: public
#
src_dir:

# spec_dir
#
# Spec directory path. Your spec_files must be returned relative to
this path.
# Default: spec/javascripts
#
# EXAMPLE:
#
# spec_dir: spec/javascripts
#
spec_dir: spec/javascripts

One thing of note...if I set my src_dir to public, I get errors that
Player is not defined at all, so I know it is finding the source JS
files.

Is there something I missed in the configuration? Thanks for your
help.

Which version of Rails are you using?

I've just recently done this from scratch on a Rails 3 project and didn't see the problem. Hmmm.

After a bit of digging, it turns out Player() was a name conflict with
other code in my application. I renamed Player(), and this is no
longer an issue.
