Members

(static) DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL

Default number of milliseconds Jasmine will wait for an asynchronous spec to complete.

Since:
  • 1.3.0

(static) MAX_PRETTY_PRINT_ARRAY_LENGTH

Maximum number of array elements to display when pretty printing objects. This will also limit the number of keys and values displayed for an object. Elements past this number will be ellipised.

Since:
  • 2.7.0

(static) MAX_PRETTY_PRINT_CHARS

Maximum number of characters to display when pretty printing objects. Characters past this number will be ellipised.

Since:
  • 2.9.0

(static) MAX_PRETTY_PRINT_DEPTH

Maximum object depth the pretty printer will print to. Set this to a lower value to speed up pretty printing if you have large objects.

Since:
  • 1.3.0
