How to run jasmine specs across multiple test directories

Jasmine is set up to run its specs under a single directory. It is not set up to find and run tests from multiple spec directories.

Here's my project structure:

 project root: /
     package.json
     spec
        --> jasmine_examples
     module_a
        --> spec
     module_b
        --> spec
     module_c
       --> spec

If I want to run tests from each of the modules, I have to specify each spec file.

    "spec_files": [
      "module_a/spec/spec.js",
      "module_b/spec/spec.js",
      "module_c/spec/spec.js"
    ],

This allows me to run the jasmine cli but it's not scalable. There must be a better way. I don't want to have to manually specify every module that contains a spec. I'd like to have all directories recursively searched for specs.

I'm only running these on Node using JSDom, no Karma or any headless browsers.

Best way to approach this is to set "spec_dir" to root and then use spec_files and glob pattern to match multiple files inside different locations e.g.

{
  "spec_dir": "",
  "spec_files": [
    "module_a/**/*.[sS]pec.js",
    "module_b/**/*.[sS]pec.js",
    "module_c/**/*.[sS]pec.js"
  ],
  "stopSpecOnExpectationFailure": false,
  "random": true
}

Following config (located in jasmne.json) will match every "*.spec.js" file inside this module dirs.

You can improve this by moving all modules to common dir e.g. "src" and then change "jasmine.json" to:

{
  "spec_dir": "",
  "spec_files": [
    "src/**/*.[sS]pec.js"
  ],
  "stopSpecOnExpectationFailure": false,
  "random": true
}

This will let you forget once and for all about maintenance of this file... and we all know how we devs hate updating all those pesky configs ^^

If you change your "spec_dir" property to the root with a double quote ("") then Jasmine will start at the root and traverse the sub-directories.

The problem then will be that the node_modules directory will also be included. So you'll have to use a spec pattern in spec_files that's highly unlikely to be be found in there. I used ["**/*.[sS]pec.js"] which meant naming my spec files module_a.spec.js.

{
  "spec_dir": "",
  "spec_files": [
    "**/*.[sS]pec.js"
  ],
  "helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.js"
  ],
  "stopSpecOnExpectationFailure": false,
  "random": false
}

You could also seperate your spec files from your source root (what might be src/) to test/ with an equivalent folder structure:

project root: /
 package.json
 spec
    --> jasmine_examples
 src/
   module_a
   module_b
   module_c
 test/
   module_a
   module_b
   module_c

And then in your jasmine config define spec files like:

"spec_files": [
  "test/**/*.spec.js"
],
