In Jasmine 1.3, we had this option to the get current spec and suite names:
describe(\"name for describe\", function () { it(\"name for it\", function ()
var currentSpecName = describe('Test1', function() { var currentStepName = it("Step1", function(){ console.log(currentStepName.description); // Prints It Name console.log(currentSpecName.getFullName()); //Prints Describe Name }); });
