Problem example

jasmine/jasmine#1971

Installation

1. Checkout repo
2. run npm i
3. run node jasmine.config.js to run tests

Quick summary

The task is to run onprepare function before kicking off specs. This function serves 2 main purposes:

• runs several async functions
• sets up jasmine reporters, ONE OF THE REPORTERS IS USING A VALUE RETURNED BY ASYNC FUNC

Approaches

1. Helper file (this is currently implemented in the repo)

The code goes to on-prepare.js. For better explanation, see console.log, which has integers for the expected order

Problem

The spec is ran before on-prep function is completed. One of the reported is not even added. Below is the output

jasmine-on-prepare sp$ node jasmine.config.js 
1 modules imported
2 reporters setup
Jasmine started
6 it #1

  example
    ✓ it #1 (0.001 sec)
7 it #2
    ✓ it #2 (0 sec)
8 it #3
    ✓ it #3 (0 sec)

Executed 3 of 3 specs SUCCESS in 0.008 sec.
3 setup func #1 executed
4 setup func #2 executed
5 onPrepare work completed

2. Move the code to jasmine.config.js

The code goes to jasmine.config.js.

Problem

I get jasmine.getEnv() is not a function. Likely because the line is ran, before jasmine.execute() is called. I'm not sure if I can construct Env class and add reporters directly

3. Move the async code to jasmine.config.js, and leave reporters in on-prepare.js

Problem

This doesn't work for me, because one of the reporters uses value from async function to construct it
