Running a single test or a single file with jasmine-node

[robertj]

Hi,

I would like to execute only one single file or even better one single "describe"

with jasmine-node. Is that possible?

Best regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

I added this functionality to my forked version of Jasmine on Github
(https://github.com/kristiancalhoun/jasmineAGI). With this version you
can run a single suite by changing "describe" to "odescribe".
Likewise, you can run only a single spec by changing "it" to "oit". If
there are multiple odescribes or oits, they will each run, but any
tests without an "o" flag will be skipped.

You can read the original discussion that took place as I was
developing these features here:
http://groups.google.com/group/jasmine-js/browse_thread/thread/315ea591e2d1a851/df2d64d219215954?lnk=gst

Hope this helps!

Robert, 

Is this a desire to have "focused spec"-type functionality? Like you want to run only "this file" or "this suite" or "this test" right now?

Hi,

yes the desire is to run a specific (subset) of test(s).

What happened just a yesterday was this. I was creating test (describe + its) with some

specific context. This specific context exposed a bug in one of my very heavily used

low-level functions.

In order to find up where the bug is i instrumented that low-level-func with some

debugging statements. Obviously this lead to an avalanche of output that made it

impossible for to see my bug.

So here it would have been very helpful to execute only the context that exposed

that bug.

Best regards

Robert
