jasmine-beforeSuite provides beforeSuite and afterSuite global for the Jasmine behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code.

Any function that is passed to the beforeSuite and afterSuite global functions will be stored and ran at the appropriate time. So functions passed to beforeSuite will be run only once, before all the functions passed to beforeEach inside the suite.

Features

• beforeSuite supports asynchronous functions
• minimal wrapping (only jasmine.Suite.prototype.finish is wrapped)
• works in both browser and node.js

Example Usage

describe 'a suite', ->

  beforeSuite (done) ->
    setTimeout((-> window.globalCondition = new Foobar(); done()), 10)

  it 'is a Foobar', ->
    expect(globalCondition.constructor).toEqual(Foobar)

  describe 'a nested spec', ->

    it 'is still a Foobar', ->
      expect(globalCondition.constructor).toEqual(Foobar)

  afterSuite (done) ->
    setTimeout((-> delete window.globalCondition), 1000)

describe 'another suite', ->

  it 'is no longer defined', ->
    expect(globalCondition).not.toBeDefined()
