Ensure passing Jasmine specs from your Ruby E2E tests

Jasmine Archive is a great way to unit test your JavaScript components without writing an expensive end-to-end test for every small requirement.

After we integrated Jasmine into a Rails app we often add an E2E test that opens that Jasmine runner and expects all specs to pass. This way we see Jasmine failures in our regular test runs.

RSpec

In a feature spec Archive you can run Jasmine specs like this:

Copy
scenario 'Jasmine tests' do
  visit test_jasmine_path
  expect(page).to have_content('finished in') # wait for all tests to finish
  expect(page).not_to have_css('.jasmine-failed .jasmine-description') # better error messages
  expect(page).to have_css('.jasmine-bar.jasmine-passed') # safer check
end

Cucumber

In Cucumber you can run Jasmine specs like this:

Copy
Scenario: Jasmine tests
  When I run Jasmine tests
  Then all specs should have passed

Copy
When 'I run Jasmine tests' do
  visit test_jasmine_path
end

Then 'all specs should have passed' do
  expect(page).to have_css('.jasmine-version'), 'Failed to load Jasmine page'
  using_wait_time 60 do
    expect(page).to have_content('finished in') # patiently wait for all tests to finish
  end

  # The above check will wait until tests are finished; once they are, we want
  # to show fails early
  using_wait_time 0 do
    failed_specs = page.all('.jasmine-failed .jasmine-description').map(&:text)
    puts 'Failed Jasmine specs:' if failed_specs.any?
    failed_specs.each do |description|
      puts "* #{description}"
    end
    expect(failed_specs.size).to eq(0), "Some Jasmine Specs failed (see above)"

    expect(page).to have_css('.jasmine-bar.jasmine-passed') # safer check
  end
end
