Run Jasmine tests from WebStorm

Question

WebStorm shows icons next to Jasmine's test cases and it seems as if there should be an option to run it, but the menu just says: Nothing here.

As I did not find any documentation about this feature, I wonder if it should be possible to run tests like this and if yes, what the conditions are.

Answer 1

This likely means that no suitable test runners have been found. WebStorm doesn't manage test running directly. This job is done by a test runner. WebStorm supports several test runners - Mocha, Karma, Jest, JsTestDriver, nodeunit,... The logic used for determining what test runner is available for a given test file is based on dependencies declarations in nearest package.json file.
