Jasmine lost jQuery with PhantomJS: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $

guard, jasmine, javascript, jquery, phantomjs

Solution

I ran into this problem also. I fixed it by changing my jasmine.yml to load jquery before it loads the rest of the javascript files:

src_files:
  - public/js/jquery.js
  - public/js/**/*.js

Problem

I want to test my JS codes which uses jQuery by Jasmine in console with PhantomJS, but `ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $` I can test the codes by Jasmine in browser normally. Thank you for your help. ``` $ phantomjs examples/run-jasmine.js http://localhost:8888/ ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $ http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/PhotoTable.js:59 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $ http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/PhotoTable2.js:129 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $ http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/amenimomakezu.js:18 http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/amenimomakezu.js:20 ReferenceError: Can't find variable: _error http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/p121106.js:29 http://localhost:8888/public/javascripts/p121106.js:39 null Data loaded [object Object] Data loaded [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] Data loaded [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] [object Object] Winter in October [object Object] [object Object] 'waitFor()' finished in 200ms.
