Run javascript es6 code in Jasmine

Question

I am exploring JavaScript es6 code in angularjs app and used grunt babel to compile the es6 to es5.

My unit test (jasmine) doesn\'t run with es6 code using phantomjs

Answer 1

I spent quite some time to make babel & jasmine to cooperate, so i should post my solution here:

install babel-cli package, do standard babel config (for me it was .babelrc file)

i created custom runner file: bin/jasmine

#!/usr/bin/env bash
./node_modules/.bin/babel-node ./node_modules/.bin/jasmine $@ --config=spec/support/jasmine.json

that way even passing arguments works! bin/jasmine -h while path to config conveniently always defined
