Jasmine-Gem and Rails3Beta4 issues

[Mike Gehard]

Greetings,

I am working to integrate the Jasmine Gem (version 0.11.1.0) from Rubygems via Bundler into a brand new Rails3 site using rvm and a brand new gemset.  I am using RSpec2 as the specing framework.

I have added the Gemfile entry (gem 'jasmine', '0.11.1.0') and Bundler did indeed install it and its dependencies. 

When I tried to run "rails generate jasmine", I get the following error "Could not find generator jasmine.".  I am guessing this is being caused by the fact that the generators framework has changed in Rails3.  I have entered a Tracker item (http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/4110296) for this issue.

I then tried to use "jasmine init" to get the gem set up in my site and that seemed to work fine but when I try to run "rake jasmine" to start up the server, I get a "no such file to load -- json" error.  This is because the lib/jasmine/base.rb file is trying to "require 'json'" but when I run a "gem list" the json gem is no where to be found in the list but I do have the json_pure gem (version 1.4.3) installed.  Upon looking into the jasmine.gemspec file I didn't see any explicit dependency for the json gem.  

After adding the json gem to my Gemfile and running "bundle install", the server fires up fine.

It looks like Jasmine-gem is missing an explicit dependency on the json gem and something that it was relying on to install the json gem changed to the json_pure gem.  The Tracker story can be found here:

http://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/4110922

Looks like the workaround is to require the json gem in your Gemfile but a long term solution is to explicitly require the json (or the json_pure) gem in the jasmein.gemspec file.

Whoops!  Thanks for the find.  We'll get that sorted for 1.0.

As a note, relying on the json_pure gem is probably bad as it's not necessarily cross-platform...

I thought json_pure was slow but cross-platform.

The json gem itself doesn't work on jruby or Windows in 1.9 .. see:

I mistyped.  Json_pure is slow, but cross-platform. 

We're looking into the right way to handle this specifically for Windows & JRuby.
