We will approach the requirements through a set of milestones. The first milestone we will try to reach is a very first passing end-to-end Jasmine test case against our web service API.
Let's see what we need to reach that milestone:
- We need to be able to execute Jasmine test cases
- We need a Jasmine spec that requests our HTTP backend
- We need an HTTP backend that responds to the request
In order to verify that we are good to go in regards to executing Jasmine test cases, let's create a subfolder spec/e2e in our project directory:
mkdir -p spec/e2e
Next, we create the file that will hold the end-to-end tests for our yet-to-be-written API server. We name it apiSpec.js and store it within the spec/e2e folder we just created:
'use strict';
describe('The API', function () {
it('should just work', function () {
