How to run Jasmine tests on Node.js from command line

Question

How do I run Jasmine tests on Node.js from command line? I have installed jasmine-node via npm and written some tests. I want to run tests inside the spec directory and get results in the terminal, is this possible?

This should get you going quickly:

1. install Node.js (obviously).

2. Next install Jasmine. Open a command prompt and run:

   npm install -g jasmine

3. Next, cd to any directory and set up an example 'project':

   jasmine init
jasmine examples

4. Now run your unit tests:

   jasmine

If your jasmine.json file is somewhere else besides spec/support/jasmine.json, simply run:

jasmine JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=relative/path/to/your/jasmine.json
