testing a javascript library with jasmine

Question

I'm working on a little library: https://github.com/jtmkrueger/lilBox and am trying to add some jasmine tests. From what I've gathered, I just need to add a require statement at the top of the spec to include the file, like this:

require('../lilbox.js');

describe("lilBox", function() {
  it ("is loaded", function () {
    expect(lilBox).toBeDefined();
  });
});

But that test is failing. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong, but I think it has to do with how I'm including the file.

What do I need to do to get this test to pass?

@Brian check out github.com/jtmkrueger/lilBox/blob/master/lilbox.js#L4 I think that's what you're talking about. — pizza247

Use lilbox similar to a package:

var lilBox = require('../lilbox');

It's case sensitive if i'm not mistaken, and functions can be called using lilBox.fn(). Have fun testing the app
