How can I get my jasmine tests fixtures to load before the javascript considers the document to be “ready”?

Adding the jQuery directly to the html fixture worked for me to get the desired behavior. It is not exactly an answer to this question, but I am starting to believe it's the best solution currently available.

Here is my test file:

describe ("my basic jasmine jquery test", function(){

    beforeEach(function(){
        loadFixtures('myfixture.html');
    });

    it ("does some basic jQuery thing", function () {
        $('a#test_link').click();
        expect($("a#test_link")).toHaveText('My test link is now longer');
    });

    it ("does the same basic jQuery thing with a different event initiation method", function () {
        $('a#test_link').trigger('click');
        expect($("a#test_link")).toHaveText('My test link is now longer');
    });

});
describe ('substraction', function(){

    var a = 1;
    var b = 2;

    it("returns the correct answer", function(){
        expect(substraction(a,b)).toBe(-1);
    });

});

And here is my fixture file:
