How to defer execution of Jasmine SpecRunner

Question

I'm new to Jasmine. I have a need to launch SpecRunner.html but trigger execution only after some time manually for example from chrome console.

As far as I can see there is a boot method that is automatically executed. How can I prevent it from doing so but run it later ?

You will need to create your own boot.js

Modify these lines

window.onload = function() {
    if (currentWindowOnload) {
        currentWindowOnload();
    }
    htmlReporter.initialize();
    env.execute();
};

to add the additional delay

window.onload = function() {
    if (currentWindowOnload) {
        currentWindowOnload();
    }
    htmlReporter.initialize();
    setTimeout(env.execute(), 5000);
};

Or something similar.

Problem is I get htmlReporter undefined – user310291 Mar 12 '16 at 15:04
Then you probably aren't setup correctly in the first place htmlReporter is defined in the boot.js – Dave Bush Mar 12 '16 at 18:04
finally I manage to do it by making htmlReporter global so I marked your answer as good answer. – user310291 Mar 12 '16 at 20:50
