jasmine/GOALS_2.0.md

(Vague) Jasmine 2.0 Goals/(Guidelines)

1. No globals!

• jasmine library is entirely inside jasmine namespace
• globals required for backwards compatibility should be added in boot.js (EG, var describe = jasmine.getCurrentEnv().describe lives in boot.js)

1. Don't use properties as getters. Use methods.

• Properties aren't encapsulated -- can be mutated, unsafe.

1. Reporters get data objects (no methods).

• easier to refactor as needed

1. More unit tests - fewer nasty integration tests

Remaining non-story-able work:

• Make a TODO list

Hard

• Finish killing Globals
  • Guidlines: everything that isn't a CTOR should be closed inside Env, and everything that is a CTOR needs to be newed inside the Env
  • Spies
  • jasmine.util should be util closure inside of env or something
• Suites need to be unit-tested
• Remove Queue from Suite in favor of queuerunner refactoring
• Remover Runner in favor of a top-level Suite
  • This means Env needs to new a Suite first thing
• get feature parity back on HTMLReporter

Easy

• Refactor queuerunner into a new object
• xdescribe / xit make skipped specs instead of empty blocks
