How can I have a beforeAll function in Jasmine ? (Not coffeeScript)

问题

I need to know if there is a way to include or use a beforeAll function, or something similar, so I can login to my application and then start testing.

Right now I'm putting my login operations in the first test case ( it ). Which is not a good practice.

If there is a better way to store my login code other then using a beforeAll function please tell me about it.

I'm using pure Jasmine not related to any other framework like coffee-script or others.

Thank you

This is now much easier. As of Jasmine 2.1 (released 14 Nov 2014), there is a beforeAll function built into the framework.

Here are the release notes with everything that was added in 2.1. And here is the documentation explaining beforeAll and afterAll

You can nest as many describe functions as you want. So you can do something like...

describe("General Test", function () {

    function login(){
        //This code will run once at he beginning of your script
    };

    login();

    beforeEach(function () {
        //anything in here will apply to everything in each nested describe
    });

    describe("Specific Test", function () {
        //Applied here
    });

    describe("Another Specific Test", function () {
        //And here
    });


});
