Would Jasmine 2 offer any benefits over Jasmine 1.3 for Protractor?

Tags:

protractor

I would like to stay on top of the latest releases. I noticed that Protractor is using Jasmine 1.3 (or is it mini Jasmine). With newer releases of Jasmine available then is there some additional functionality that these offer ?

What is Jasmine framework in protractor?

Jasmine is a test framework, which provides BDD (Behavior Driven Development) functionalities for your automation framework. It is an independent framework i.e there is no dependency with other framework and doesn't require DOM. A describe-block, it-block, and an expectation with matcher makes one complete test script.

Jasmine 2.0 has a couple of big changes, and a lot of internal cleanup.

  • it adds asynchronous testing via done() function, but this is already patched in to the version of 1.3.1 that Protractor uses
  • it makes registering reporters easier - this would be nice to have for Protractor
  • it changes the syntax for registering custom matchers

We recently tried to update Protractor to 2.0, but it would have resulted in a loss of some functionality. You can see the full discussion at https://github.com/angular/jasminewd/pull/5
