Using the package with jasmine-ts (ts-node)

Hi,

I use Typescript files that are transpiled to Javascript in a dist folder (works fine) and Typescript spec files for my unit tests (my problem). I have a deep directory structure so I use the paths section of tsconfig.json to map my folders to my modules. I noticed that when I run jasmine-ts to evaluate my spec files, the paths section is not taken into account and thus I get “Error: Cannot find module” error messages.

I think tsconfig-paths should solve this problem but I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

<root>/package.json contains:

"test": "jasmine-ts -r tsconfig-paths/register \"tests/**/*.spec.ts\" JASMINE_CONFIG_PATH=./jasmine.json",

root/tsconfig.json contains

    "paths": {
      "*":["src/*"],
      "engines/*": ["src/engines/*"],
      "typings-custom/*": ["typings-custom/*"]
    },    

root/jasmine.json contains:

{
  "spec_dir": "tests",
  "spec_files": [
    "**/*[sS]pec.ts"
  ],
  "helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.ts"
  ],
  "stopSpecOnExpectationFailure": true,
  "random": true
}

root/src/engines/engine1.ts contains

export default class Engine1 {
[...]
}

root/tests/unit/specs/engine1.spec.ts contains:

import engine1 from "engines/engine1"; //<= Cannot find module

works fine when I put the relative but ugly path

import engine1 from "../../../src/engines/engine1";

I ran into the same issue and fixed it by using ts-node with jasmine like this:

 "test:alloy": "ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/registernode_modules/jasmine/bin/jasmine.js \"services/**/**.service.spec.ts\"",

I suspect the issue is with jasmine-ts but don’t have time to investigate / think it’s probably best not to get too far away from ts-node as it’s already an abstraction.
