Running Jasmine Tests via Grunt

So far, we’ve gotten Jasmine configured for our unit tests, and we’ve even gotten a couple of failing tests to pass. This is a great start, but all of our work is in the browser, and running our tests requires that we refresh a browser tab to verify. This is probably fine for many projects, but I’d like to be able to execute my tests in both the browser and via the command line, the latter of which is required when I start working with Karma and Travis CI later. This also allows me to streamline my development workflow by automatically running tests whenever I save certain files in my project.

Thankfully, I’m not alone in my desire for console-based JavaScript testing, and there just so happens to be a Grunt plug-in for Jasmine that I can add to my project. First, I’ll want to configure Jasmine by adding a few lines to my gruntfile. I’ll add the grunt-contrib-jasmine task declaration to the bottom of the file, like so:
