Answer 1

@Gregg's answer was correct for the latest version of Jasmine at that time (v2.0.0).

However, since then, this new feature was added in v2.3.0:

It's activated by adding throwFailures=true to the query string of the runner page, eg:

http://localhost:8000/?throwFailures=true

Answer 2

According to the comments of https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine/issues/414 I figured out that 2 solutions exists for this: https://github.com/radialanalytics/protractor-jasmine2-fail-whale https://github.com/Updater/jasmine-fail-fast

I just started to use the protractor-jasmine2-fail-whale because it seems to have more features. Although to take screenshots in case of test failures I currently use protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter.

Jasmine doesn't support failing early, in a single spec. The idea is to give you all of the failures in case that helps figure out what is really wrong in your spec.
