jasmine-maven-plugin

For information on how to use jasmine-plugin, check out its documentation page.

7/31/2012 - Heads up! See below for an important note about a backwards-compatibility-breaking change in versions 1.2.0.0 & later.

Current Version Info

The plugin's version numbering will mirror the version of Jasmine that backs it (with a version number tacked on at the end that tracks changes to the plugin within a Jasmine release). The latest version of the plugin points to Jasmine 1.2.0, so its version number is 1.2.0.0.

If you want to point at snapshot releases of the plugin (note that I don't deploy them often), they're hosted on the Sonatype OSS snapshot repository.

Maintainers

Justin Searls, Test Double

Contributions

Pull requests are, of course, very welcome! A few todos, if anyone is interested in tackling them:

JSLint and JSCoverage integration
Parse & format ignored tests (currently only passing & failing tests are parsed)
A facility that automatically executes the other goals if only test or preparePackage is configured to run.

Acknowledgments

Thanks to Pivotal Labs for authoring and publishing Jasmine
Thanks to christian.nelson and sivoh1, owners of the javascript-test-maven-plugin project, which provided a similar implementation from which to glean several valuable lessons.

Lifecycle extensions

A change was introduced in version 1.2.0.0 that will require a change to your POM file. Your POM configuration for jasmine-maven-plugin must now include a child element: <extensions>true</extensions> to work in version 1.2.0.0 and later. Sorry about the inconvenience, but this was the only way to avoid each build phase from executing twice.

So, if you're arriving here from Google because you see an error like this when you run your build:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solution is to add <extensions>true</extensions> to your POM, like this:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.searls</groupId>
        <artifactId>jasmine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.0.0</version>

        <extensions>true</extensions>

        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>test</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>
