How to Install and Configure Jasmine

Learn to install, configure, and run Jasmine locally.

Installing and running jasmine

If you’d like to run the examples locally, read ahead.

As a first step, install Node.js and npm.

Follow these steps to install and initialize Jasmine. Use the terminal below to run each of the following commands:

  • npm install --save-dev jasmine installs the Jasmine npm package.
  • mkdir spec creates a folder for Jasmine config.
  • npx jasmine init initializes a standard Jasmine folder structure and config file: spec/support/jasmine.json
  • npx jasmine runs Jasmine using npx.

Expected result

Randomized with seed 81352
Started


No specs found
Finished in 0.004 seconds
Incomplete: No specs found

This shows that Jasmine has been successfully installed and initialized.

It also shows what random seed has been used in case we’d like to repeat the exact same tests run. See Jasmine docs for more information.

It searches for .spec.js files under the /src/ folder by default. That can be changed in the spec/support/jasmine.json file.

There are no test files in this environment yet, resulting in the No specs found.
