Missing Test Description Output

[dtothefp]

I learned about your plugin on David Mosher's Frontend Masters online course and have been testing it out. Everything was going great and now all of a sudden my terminal output for the test titles is printed to the screen. I have gotten it working intermittently but nothing consistent. I'm wondering if I'm making some sort of syntactical error?

Hey @dtothefp, I took a quick peek at your spec and nothing looks out of place to me; I've got a grunt plugin I tested with this approach since recording the frontend masters course, perhaps it might be helpful to compare? https://github.com/davemo/grunt-datauri-variables/blob/master/spec/grunt_datauri_variables_spec.coffee

(I realize it's in coffeescript, but it's pretty much the same setup as what you have barring the usage of an older version of grunt-jasmine-bundle).

I suspect it'd be worthwhile to test a fork that upgrades minijasminenode as well.

@davemo I cloned your repo and I guess it has the same behavior. I swear when I was using Jasmine Bundle earlier I was getting the test description and assertion output in my terminal but maybe I just imagined it. Anyway, here is a screenshot for your datauri output:

and here is one out of my linked repo above running grunt-jasmine-node, showing the terminal output of the test descriptions/assertions

Maybe this is not desired/expected behavior for the minijasminenode plugin. @searls I'll try pulling down a fork with the upgrade if you think it would potentially have different behavior.

Also, @davemo I want to say thanks so much for the Frontend Masters course. I've been working with Grunt for a while but there is a lack of good E2E documentation, and your solution for testing was just what I've been looking for.

One thing occurs looking at the screenshots, the jasmine-given syntax supports an optional title string for its aliases, ie:

Given('something exists', function() {});
When('something happens', function() {});
Then('this should happen', function() {});

Could you try adding some title strings to your test and seeing if the console output comes back?

Glad to hear the FEM course and the grunt e2e approach I came up with was helpful :)
