Are test cases in Jasmine 2.0 run in parallel

Question

Are tests in Jasmine 2.0 run in parallel? In my experience they aren\'t but the article , referenced by Jasmine.js: Race Conditions when using "runs" suggests tha

Answer 1

Jasmine does not actually run your specs in parallel in any way. It is however possible to have specs whose asynchronous portion takes long enough that the built-in time limit elapses which will cause jasmine to start running the next spec, even though there may still be code running from earlier specs.

Answer 2

If you want to run your test in parallel and you are using karma as a test launcher, you can use karma-parallel to split up your tests across multiple browser instances. It runs specs in different browser instances and is very simple and easy to install:

npm i karma-parallel

and then add the 'parallel' to the frameworks list in karma.conf.js

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    frameworks: ['parallel', 'jasmine']
  });
};

karma-parallel
