jasmine-node says "0 tests" when there *are* tests

Question

I expect this to say "1 test", but it says "0 tests". Any idea why? This is on OS X.

$ jasmine-node --verbose my.spec.js
undefined

Finished in 0.001 seconds
0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 skipped

$ cat my.spec.js
describe("bar", function() {
  it("works", function() {
    expect("foo").toEqual("foo");
  });
});

$ jasmine-node --version
1.11.0  
$ npm --version
1.3.5  
$ node -v
v0.4.12

Even if I try to create a syntax error I get the same output:

$ cat my.spec.js
it(
$ jasmine-node --verbose --captureExceptions my.spec.js
undefined

Finished in 0.001 seconds
0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 skipped

But if I try to specify a file that doesn't exist, it complains:

$ jasmine-node no.spec.js
File: /tmp/no.spec.js is missing.

Answer 1

I also had this problem, it was that I didn't name the file correctly:

your specification files must be named as spec.js, spec.coffee or spec.litcoffee, which matches the regular expression /spec.(js|coffee|litcoffee)$/i; otherwise jasmine-node won't find them! For example, sampleSpecs.js is wrong, sampleSpec.js is right.

You should upgrade to the latest version of nodejs (currently 0.10.15)
