Skip tests in Angular project generated with Yo

Question

I'm doing a small toy project to test Yeoman and angular.

After having created the application with yo angular I've started writing a service and its tests. Everything was perfect until I tried to ignore a test.

From what I've read I should be able to ignore a test changing it to xit and a suit changing describe to xdescribe.

But when I save and grunt launches the tests, I get a 'xit' is not defined or 'xdescribe' is not defined error.

Is there something I'm missing?

You will need to edit or maybe create a file called .jshintrc, and you will have something like this:

{
    "curly": false,
    "eqeqeq": false,
    "immed": true,
    "latedef": true,
    "newcap": true,
    "noarg": true,
    "sub": true,
    "undef": true,
    "boss": true,
    "eqnull": true,
    "browser": true,
    "es5":true,
    "smarttabs": true,
    "expr":true,
    "globals": {
        "angular": true,
        "console": true,
        "expect" : true,
        "inject" : true,
        "describe" : true,
        "beforeEach" : true,
        "it" : true,
        "xit" : true,
        "xdescribe": true
    }
}

Notice the xit and xdescribe under globals.

In your gruntfile go to jshint task and have this

 
jshint: {
      options: {
        jshintrc: '.jshintrc'
      }
}
