I want to write JS tests. The production code is written with RequireJS. I found a test lib named Squire.js: https://github.com/iammerrick/Squire.js/
From the Squire.js website
Run generates a function that will receive a done callback and execute it after your test function is complete. Particularly useful for frameworks where asynchrony is handled with a callback. Here is an example with Mocha.js. Jasmine can offer this callback approach using Jasmin.Async."
I don't know how to use this with Jasmine async. A small example would be very useful.
This is a nice setup for inserting modules with mocked dependencies into tests. This is an end to end example to get someone started, skip to the end if you just want to see the spec.
Folder Structure:
Jasmine
|-lib
||-jasmine -- Contains all the Jasmine files
|||-boot.js
|||-jasmine-html.js
|||-jasmine.js
|||-jasmine.css
|||-jasmine_favicon.png
|||-...
|-spec -- Spec files go here
||-hello-spec.js
|SpecRunner.html
|SpecRunner.js
|squire.js
Scripts
|knockout.js
|require.js
|jquery.js
App
|-hello.js
|-foo.js
At the time of your question, Jasmine 1.3 was the latest version. Since then 2.0 was released and contains some async improvements. Both versions are included here, 1.3 is commented out.

This question Does Jasmine 2.0 really not work with require.js? was helpful in getting this up and running.

Details
Lines
var injector = new Squire();
var builder = injector
.mock('foo', {
message: "Hello, World!"
});
mock up hello's dependency on foo and then
builder.require(['hello'], function (hi) {
hello = hi;
done(); // ...until you invoke it.
});
loads the hello module using the mocked foo. Compare to using require itself to load hello in the second test:
require(['hello'], function (hi) {
hello = hi;
done(); // ...until you invoke it.
});
The Jasmine docs http://jasmine.github.io/ can fill you in on the "done()" functionality (2.0) or "runs/waitsFor" (1.3).
