Jasmine's BeforeAll inner functions are called after a spec
Jasmine's BeforeAll inner functions are called after a spec
I am making a game with the Phaser-framework and I am coding automatic tests with Jasmine. All works fine in this code exept the function beforeAll() (called after a it (spec)) The console prints:
test2
test
when it should print test test2. I tried the beforeEach() but it does not make any difference.
describe("Hit Box", function()
var collide = false;
beforeAll(function()
game = new Phaser.Game(400, 400, Phaser.AUTO, '', preload: preload, create: create, render:render, false, true);
function preload()
game.load.image('blue', 'assets/magicien100.png');
game.load.image('fire_ball', 'assets/red.png');
function create()
game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);
game.world.setBounds(0, 0, 400, 400);
game.dummyPlayer = game.add.sprite(100,100,'blue');
game.dummyPlayer.width = 100;
game.dummyPlayer.height = 100;
game.physics.arcade.enable(game.dummyPlayer);
game.dummySpell = game.add.sprite(50, 50, 'fire_ball');
game.dummySpell.width = 75;
game.dummySpell.height = 75;
game.physics.arcade.enable(game.dummySpell);
game.debug.spriteBounds(game.dummyPlayer);
game.debug.spriteBounds(game.dummySpell);
if (game.physics.arcade.overlap(game.dummyPlayer, game.dummySpell))
collide = true;
console.log('test');
function render()
game.debug.spriteBounds(game.dummyPlayer);
game.debug.spriteBounds(game.dummySpell);
);
it("Should have a collision", function()
expect(collide).toBe(true);
console.log('test2');
);
);
new Phaser.Game
Have you tried to use
done in beforeAll?– marzelin

done
beforeAll
those tests make no sense. You do all logic in
beforeAll and only do checking in it. it should do something and then test the result.– marzelin

beforeAll
it
it
you should only unit test your own functions (pure functions preferably) not the framework itself.

If Phaser.Game is asynchronous, it may still be creating when the it function is run.
Try returning a promise from the beforeAll:
describe("Hit Box", function() {
var collide = false;
beforeEach(function()
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject)
game = new Phaser.Game(400, 400, Phaser.AUTO, '', preload: preload, create: create, render:render, false, true);
function preload()
// preload code
function create()
// create code
resolve(); // to complete the promise
);
);
I tested what you told me to do but everything is fine. I put more console.log() and I figured out that the functions preload, create and render are called AFTER the spec but I have no idea why.

Is there anything asynchronous about how Phaser.Game is created. Perhaps it is still running when the it function is called. You could take a look at the async documentation from Jasmine: jasmine.github.io/tutorials/async

I updated the answer with an asynchronous solution.

It worked! The spec now waits the preload and create function.

Glad to hear that it worked. When you have a moment can you mark it as the accepted answer?
