Moves the TestRunner suite from a vendored Jasmine 2.0.1 (2014) to jasmine-core 7.0.2, installed from npm instead of committed.

jasmine-core comes from npm

  • jasmine-core is a pinned root devDependency (7.0.2).
  • A new Stage Test Runner Dependencies phase on the TestRunner target runs tools/stage-test-runner-deps.mjs before Copy Bundle Resources. It copies the package's single-file build and its license into TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/vendor/ (gitignored), which the app-folder reference then bundles.
  • The phase finds node through .xcode.env / .xcode.env.local, like the js2c phase. CI already runs npm install at the repo root (scripts/install-ci-deps.sh), so no workflow changes are needed. Locally, run npm install once (README updated).

Harness

  • New Infrastructure/Jasmine/boot.js. It keeps declaration order (random: false; the shared Workers suite carries state between specs), the quarantine specFilter and the suite progress beacon. The async-function and fail() shims are dropped because Jasmine now handles both.
  • A custom object formatter works around Jasmine's pretty-printer throwing on null-prototype tagged objects such as module namespaces. toBe() builds its message even when it passes, so expect(ns).toBe(ns) threw value.toString is not a function. Fixed upstream in Pretty-print module namespace objects instead of throwing jasmine/jasmine#2123; the formatter can go once a release includes it.
  • Reporters:
    • excluded and notApplicable specs count as skipped.
    • Suite-level errors (afterAll, errors raised between specs) and run-level errors are written as failing JUnit testcases, so verify-junit-xml fails the build on them.
    • XML escaping no longer double-escapes entities, and a ]]> in a stack no longer breaks the CDATA block.

Spec changes

  • Global errors. Jasmine 7 fails the running spec when a global error/unhandledrejection event fires; 2.0.1 never saw those events.

    • 15 specs that raise them on purpose (error events, unhandled rejections, escapeException boundaries, worker error forwarding, event-loop drain) run under raisesGlobalErrors (Infrastructure/Jasmine/globalErrorSpy.js). It wraps jasmine.spyOnGlobalErrorsAsync and doesn't cancel the events, so listeners, preventDefault() and the __onUncaughtError fallback still behave as in production.
    • Two worker specs whose error used to be re-reported on the global scope after they had finished now cancel it on the parent.
    • The malformed-URL HTTP loader spec left import("http://") unhandled, and its rejection landed in a later RemoteModuleSecurity spec. It now waits for the import.
  • Duplicate names are now a declaration error.

    • MethodCallsTests: 28 instance/static property pairs shared a name; they now use the file's …_Instance…/…_Static… scheme.
    • MethodCallsTests: a spec that had been pasted into another spec's body is split back out.
    • Timers.js: a copied spec is removed.
  • Shared tests. The submodule is bumped to common-runtime-tests-app master (2cb9c23), which makes the shared specs version-agnostic:

    • worker errors raised on purpose are cancelled on the parent;
    • the Performance observer spec uses the global error spy when it exists;
    • done(reason) failure branches fail on 2.0.1 too.

    Verified on Android (still on Jasmine 2.0.1) as well.

Testing

./run_tests.sh --keep-sim, iPhone 16 Pro / iOS 26.3:

Run Specs Failures Skipped
main (Jasmine 2.0.1, shared a2ccd8c) 1836 0 11
main harness + shared test/jasmine-7-compat (backwards-compat check) 1836 0 11
This branch 1836 0 11
This branch, rebuilt after deleting vendor/ (the phase restages it) 1836 0 11
This branch rebased on main c45a8ab5, shared at master 2cb9c23 1865 0 11

The reporters were also checked in Node against jasmine-core 7 with a fake suite (failing, xit, filtered, pending, afterAll error, done(reason), async); the XML output parses.

Android still runs Jasmine 2.0.1; the only change that reaches it is the shared-test update, which passes there.

Walkthrough

The TestRunner build now stages jasmine-core from npm. The runner uses a new Jasmine boot module and updated terminal and JUnit reporters. Test changes add global-error capture to asynchronous specs and update several existing test cases.

Changes: TestRunner Jasmine Runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stage Jasmine runtime dependencies
package.json, tools/stage-test-runner-deps.mjs, v8ios.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, .gitignore, .xcode.env, README.md
The TestRunner target stages jasmine-core and its license from the installed package. The build phase, command-line script, environment comments, ignore rule, and setup instructions reflect the staging process.
Replace the vendored Jasmine runtime
TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/boot.js, TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/jasmine-2.0.1/*, TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/jasmine.d.ts, TestRunner/app/tests/index.js, TestRunner/app/shared, TestRunnerTests/QUARANTINED_TESTS.md
The runner loads the new boot module and calls its execute function. The vendored Jasmine 2.0.1 files and declarations are removed. The shared submodule reference and quarantine documentation are updated.
Report skipped specs and failures
TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/jasmine-reporters/*
The reporters recognize more skipped statuses and include suite-level or run-level failures. The terminal reporter also reports incomplete runs and deprecation warnings.
Capture global errors in asynchronous specs
TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/globalErrorSpy.js, TestRunner/app/tests/ErrorEventsTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/EscapeExceptionTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/EventLoopTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/MessagingTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/Promises.js, TestRunner/app/tests/WorkerResourceLimitsTests.js
A new helper wraps done-style specs with Jasmine’s global-error spy. Related tests use the helper, or return true from worker error handlers.
Update related test cases
TestRunner/app/tests/HttpEsmLoaderTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/MethodCallsTests.js, TestRunner/app/tests/Timers.js
The malformed-URL test checks that its import promise settles. Property test names identify instance and static access. The duplicate timeout test is removed.

This change moves the TestRunner to jasmine-core 7 and updates the reporters. Two small reporter edge cases remain: a failure message with control characters could invalidate the JUnit report, and the terminal summary can show FAILURE with 0 failures. Neither blocks the suite from running, so the change is mergeable with these noted.

A rabbit checks the Jasmine trail,
Then stages files in Xcode's pail.
The specs report each skipped run,
While global errors meet the spy.
I nibble greens; the tests are done!

jasmine-core becomes a pinned root devDependency instead of a vendored copy.
A new "Stage Test Runner Dependencies" phase on the TestRunner target runs
tools/stage-test-runner-deps.mjs before Copy Bundle Resources, copying the
package's single-file build and license into the gitignored
TestRunner/app/Infrastructure/Jasmine/vendor/ so the app-folder reference
bundles it. The phase finds node the same way the js2c phase does
(.xcode.env / .xcode.env.local), and CI already runs `npm install` at the
repo root through scripts/install-ci-deps.sh.

The script rewrites a file only when its content changed, so incremental
builds do not recopy the app folder.
Replaces the vendored Jasmine 2.0.1 (and its 2.0 typings) with jasmine-core
7.0.2 from the staging step.

Harness:
- New Infrastructure/Jasmine/boot.js: installGlobals, declaration-order runs
  (random: false), the quarantine specFilter and the progress beacon carry
  over; the async-function and fail() shims are gone because Jasmine handles
  both natively.
- A custom object formatter keeps Jasmine's pretty-printer from throwing on
  null-prototype tagged objects such as module namespaces. toBe() formats
  its message even when it passes, so expect(ns).toBe(ns) threw.
- Reporters count excluded/notApplicable specs as skipped and write
  suite-level (afterAll, between-spec) and run-level errors as failing
  JUnit testcases, so CI's verify-junit-xml sees them. The JUnit escaping
  no longer double-escapes entities, and stacks containing "]]>" stay
  inside their CDATA.

Specs:
- Jasmine 7 routes global `error`/`unhandledrejection` events to the
  running spec. Specs that raise them on purpose run under
  raisesGlobalErrors (Infrastructure/Jasmine/globalErrorSpy.js), a wrapper
  over jasmine.spyOnGlobalErrorsAsync that leaves the events uncancelled.
  Worker specs whose error used to be re-reported on the global scope
  after they finished now cancel it on the parent, and the malformed-URL
  HTTP loader spec waits for the import it starts.
- Duplicate spec names are now a declaration error: MethodCallsTests'
  instance/static property pairs get the file's Instance/Static naming, a
  spec pasted into another spec's body is split back out, and a copied
  Timers spec is removed.
- Bumps the shared tests to common-runtime-tests-app test/jasmine-7-compat,
  which makes the shared specs work on both Jasmine 2.0.1 and 7.

Check for unexpected errors in the promise specs.

If an extra global error reaches Jasmine’s spy before done(), the spec can pass because it ignores the spy and checks only the first report. Assert that the captured errors contain only the expected error.

…e summary

- The JUnit reporter writes characters XML 1.0 cannot represent (control
  characters other than tab/LF/CR, lone surrogates, U+FFFE/U+FFFF) as
  \uXXXX text, in attributes and CDATA alike; one such character in a
  failure message made the whole report unparseable.
- The terminal summary lists suite- and run-level errors next to the spec
  failure count, so a FAILURE caused only by an afterAll no longer reads
  "0 failures".
- The unhandled-rejection specs check that Jasmine's global error spy saw
  exactly their own rejection, so an unrelated error landing while they
  run fails them instead of being swallowed.

Re the globalErrorSpy.js nitpick: addressed in e902e4b in the unhandled-rejection specs (Promises.js). Each one now checks that Jasmine's global error spy saw exactly one error, and that it was the spec's own rejection. An unrelated error landing while they run now fails the spec. The helper itself stays generic because it can't know which errors a spec expects; specs get the spy as the second argument to assert on.

* test: bump shared tests to common-runtime-tests-app master

Picks up 2cb9c23, which keeps worker errors and failure paths
version-agnostic across Jasmine releases, and 234f5f3 (case-insensitive
require expectations).

* test: run the test app on jasmine-core 7 from npm

Replaces the vendored Jasmine 2.0.1 with jasmine-core 7.0.2, a pinned
root devDependency, mirroring NativeScript/ios#547.

- test-app/test-runner-deps is a test-app-only local plugin listed in
  test-app/dependencies.json. Its include.gradle copies jasmine.js and its
  license from the repo's node_modules into a generated assets folder
  before preBuild, so runtests, :app:installDebug and Android Studio
  builds all get it, and none of the gradle files shipped to apps change.
  A missing npm install fails the build with a pointer to the fix.
- New Infrastructure/Jasmine/boot.js: installs the globals, keeps
  declaration order (random: false), works around jasmine-core's
  pretty-printer throwing on null-prototype tagged objects, and exports
  execute().
- globalErrorSpy.js: raisesGlobalErrors() wraps specs that raise global
  error / unhandledrejection events on purpose.
- Reporters: excluded/notApplicable specs count as skipped; suite- and
  run-level errors become failing JUnit testcases and fail the summary;
  XML escaping no longer double-escapes and survives ]]> in stacks.

* test: make the test app's specs pass on Jasmine 7

- Duplicate names are a declaration error now: rename a copied suite in
  the Kotlin enums tests and the console.log tests, give two specs that
  test different things distinct names, and drop a copied timer spec.
- Specs that raise global errors or unhandled rejections on purpose
  (error events, unhandled rejections, uncaughtErrorPolicy, discarded
  exceptions, worker errors left unhandled) run under raisesGlobalErrors.
- The worker OOM spec cancels the worker error on the parent.
- The UI-thread dispatch spec declared an it() from inside a callback,
  which never asserted anything; it now waits for the three callbacks.
- Rejection handlers use done.fail() instead of a failing expect.

* test: drop GC specs that assert full marking-mode reachability

test1-test5, 'should keep extended instances alive after GC' and 'should
keep array-enclosed objects alive after GC' hand a Java callback a
closure over a Java object and expect it to survive a GC. Only
markingMode "full" provided that, and #2093 removed it. Under "none"
every one of their 13 delayed callbacks fails with 'The JavaScript
instance no longer has available Java instance counterpart'; the specs
are synchronous, so Jasmine 2 never saw it.

* test: harden the Jasmine run against restarts and startup failures

- MyActivity registers and runs the suite once per process; a recreated
  activity would otherwise hit Jasmine's rejection of a second run.
- When Jasmine cannot start the run, boot.js writes a failing JUnit
  result so the runtests harness reports it instead of timing out.
- The UI-thread dispatch spec is named for what it checks: with
  multithreaded JavaScript on, the callback may run on the calling
  thread.
