How to work on a Jasmine Release

Development

Jasmine Core Maintainers Only

Follow the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md during development.

Git Rules

Please attempt to keep commits to main small, but cohesive. If a feature is contained in a bunch of small commits (e.g., it has several wip commits or small work), please squash them when pushing to main.

Version

We attempt to stick to Semantic Versioning. Most of the time, development should be against a new minor version - fixing bugs and adding new features that are backwards compatible.

The current version lives in the file /package.json. This version will be the version number that is currently released. When releasing a new version, update package.json with the new version and grunt build:copyVersionToGem to update the gem version number.

This version is used by both jasmine.js and the jasmine-core Ruby gem.

Note that Jasmine should only use the "patch" version number in the following cases:

• Changes related to packaging for a specific platform (npm, gem, or pip).
• Fixes for regressions.

When jasmine-core revs its major or minor version, the binding libraries should also rev to that version.

Release

When ready to release - specs are all green and the stories are done:

1. Update the release notes in release_notes - use the Anchorman gem to generate the markdown file and edit accordingly. Include a list of supported environments.
2. Update the version in package.json
3. Run npm run build.
4. Copy version to the Ruby gem with grunt build:copyVersionToGem

Commit and push core changes

1. Run the browser tests using scripts/run-all-browsers.
2. Commit release notes and version changes (jasmine.js, version.rb, package.json)
3. Push
4. Wait for Circle CI to go green

Build standalone distribution

1. Build the standalone distribution with grunt buildStandaloneDist
2. This will generate dist/jasmine-standalone-<version>.zip, which you will upload later (see "Finally" below).

Release the core Ruby gem

1. NOTE: You will likely need to push a new jasmine gem with a dependent version right after this release. See below.
2. rake release - tags the repo with the version, builds the jasmine-core gem, pushes the gem to Rubygems.org. In order to release you will have to ensure you have rubygems creds locally.

Release the core NPM module

1. Run the tests on Windows. (CI only tests on Linux.)
2. npm adduser to save your credentials locally
3. npm publish . to publish what's in package.json

Release the docs

Probably only need to do this when releasing a minor version, and not a patch version.

1. rake update_edge_jasmine
2. npm run jsdoc
3. rake release[${version}] to copy the current edge docs to the new version
4. Commit and push.

Release the binding libraries

NPM

1. Create release notes using Anchorman as above
2. In package.json, update both the package version and the jasmine-core dependency version
3. Commit and push.
4. Wait for Circle CI to go green again.
5. Run the tests on Windows locally.
6. grunt release . (Note: This will publish the package by running npm publish.)

Gem

1. Create release notes using Anchorman as above
2. Update the version number in lib/jasmine/version.rb.
3. Update the jasmine-core dependency version in jasmine.gemspec.
4. Commit and push.
5. Wait for Circle CI to go green again.
6. rake release

Finally

For each of the above GitHub repos:

1. Visit the releases page and find the tag just published.
2. Paste in a link to the correct release notes for this release. The link should reference the blob and tag correctly, and the markdown file for the notes.
3. If it is a pre-release, mark it as such.
4. For core, attach the standalone zipfile.
