Code files required after test executed

[gregferguson]

I've created simple jasmine test on coffee script:
require('/assets/match_player.js')
describe('match player', ->
player = new MatchPlayer {
name: "John"
apeName: "user2"
result: 2
answered: 3
time: 22
answers: [1,0,1]
best: 2
final: 5
team_name: "team2"
}

it('should have name', ->
expect(player.name).toEqual("John")
)
)

But test is failed because match_player file included on the page
after test executed. It's easy to debug - when I'm doing
console.log(MatchPlayer) in the test - undefined shown when page
restarted. But after page is loaded - MatchPlayer is defined and works
correctly (trying via console).
I'm feeling that I'm missing something basic here, please, let me know
how to fix this.
Thanks in advance

Try putting the player deinition in a beforeEach() ie...

describe("match player", function(){
  beforeEach(function(){

   player = new MatchPlayer {
   name:      "John"
   apeName:   "user2"
   result:    2
   answered:  3
   time:      22
   answers:   [1,0,1]
   best:      2
   final:     5
   team_name: "team2"
   }

  });
it("shoud have name",function(){
//your test
})
})

The same error - MatchPlayer is still undefined even in the beforeEach
block

Is there any working example of rails app with evergreen and jasmine
test that requires javascript file?

[gregferguson]

I've linked scripts before the spec block (manually in evergreen gem
in runner.erb) and now everything works.
So it's definitely a problem with scripts order on the page.
Evergreen require method use just document.write to added <script>
tag, but at the time when spec executed scripts are not loaded yet.

Can you not require the file in the SpecHelper.js? The helper requires definately run before the test. Sorry I can't suggest anything else :/

It's seems like a known problem, I've added a issue on github
