Jasmine JavaScript Testing Framework Jasmine Configuration and Reporters 2

Question 1

How do you provide a seed for reproducible random spec order in Jasmine?

Accepted Answer

jasmine --seed=1234 on the CLI

Answer

Passing --seed=<value> via the CLI fixes the randomization seed so the same order is reproduced on subsequent runs.

Question 2

Which reporter interface method does Jasmine call when a spec begins executing?

Accepted Answer

specStarted(result)

Answer

specStarted(result) is one of the standard reporter interface methods; the result object contains the spec's description and id.

Question 3

What does setting failFast: true do in Jasmine configuration?

Accepted Answer

Stops the entire test run after the first spec failure

Answer

failFast: true causes Jasmine to halt execution immediately after the first failing spec, useful for fast feedback.

Question 4

Which reporter method does Jasmine call when a describe suite finishes?

Accepted Answer

suiteDone(result)

Answer

suiteDone(result) fires each time a describe block completes; jasmineDone fires once when the entire run finishes.

Question 5

What is the direct CLI command to run Jasmine specs in a Node.js project?

Accepted Answer

npx jasmine

Answer

npx jasmine discovers and runs specs using your project's jasmine.json configuration without a global install.
