no stack trace for jasmine-node errors

Question

I'm using node.js and the jasmine-node npm module to run tests. This works perfectly except if the code produces an error. I get no stacktrace. For example, one of my tests only outputs this:

Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

No stack trace. This makes finding these errors so time-consuming that I'm looking for alternatives to jasmine-node.

How can I get jasmine-node to output the full stack trace with the error? The --verbose command-line flag doesn't do it.

Answer 1

You can use jasmine-node's --captureExceptions option to output the stack trace of global exceptions.
