SpecReporter is not a constructor error on jasmine

Question

I try to configure simple project on jasmine using node.js. I got following files:

/*global jasmine */
 var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');

exports.config = {
    allScriptsTimeout: 11000,
    specs: [
        '**/*.testdev.ts'
     ],
    capabilities: {
        'browserName': 'chrome'
    },
    directConnect: true,
    baseUrl: 'foo',
    framework: 'jasmine',
    jasmineNodeOpts: {
        showColors: true,
        defaultTimeoutInterval: 60000,
        print: function() {}
    },
    useAllAngular2AppRoots: true,
     beforeLaunch: function() {
         require('ts-node').register({
            project: 'e2e'
             });
        },
    onPrepare: function() {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter());
    }
};

Then a test file:

import {} from 'jasmine';
describe ("test", function() {
  it ("should work", function() {
      console.log('============ Main Workflow file starts');
  });
});

And I receive error when I'm running npm test:

C:\newcheckproject>npm test

> [email protected] test C:\\newcheckproject
> protractor

All answers says that I should replace in the protractor file a line: var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter');, but I do have it. What might also a problem here?

Answer 1

Since 3.0.0, jasmine-spec-reporter module exports SpecReporter and DisplayProcessor.

According to the documentation, you need to configure it like this:

const SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter').SpecReporter;

jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter());
