Members

(static) DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL

Default number of milliseconds Jasmine will wait for an asynchronous spec, before, or after function to complete. This can be overridden on a case by case basis by passing a time limit as the third argument to it, beforeEach, afterEach, beforeAll, or afterAll. The value must be no greater than the largest number of milliseconds supported by setTimeout, which is usually 2147483647.

While debugging tests, you may want to set this to a large number (or pass a large number to one of the functions mentioned above) so that Jasmine does not move on to after functions or the next spec while you're debugging.

Since:
  • 1.3.0
Default Value:
  • 5000

(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
Default Value:
  • 50

(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
Default Value:
  • 100

(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
Default Value:
  • 8
