How to run jasmine-node in WebStorm IDE

Question

I've installed nodejs and jasmine-node and it runs in command line.

Configuration of WebStorm Runner:

1. Node parameters: jasmine-node --config endpoint ServerAddress:8083
2. Working directory: G:\NPWorkDir\frisby
3. JavaScript file: src\protocol\find_spec.js

WebStorm Terminal:

"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\WebStorm\bin\runnerw.exe" "G:\Program 
Files\nodejs\node.exe" jasmine-node --config endpoint ServerAddress:8083 
G:\NPWorkDir\frisby\src\
protocol\find_spec.js

module.js:471
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'G:\NPWorkDir\tester-frisbys\jasmine-node'

My answer uses linux instead of windows pathnames!

I would recommend jasmine instead of jasmine-node, it seems to be more actual. Create the configuration with

./node_modules/.bin/jasmine init

edit jasmine.json if necessary.

I would create a npm script in package.json as:

"scripts": {
  "test": "node_modules/.bin/jasmine",
  ...
},

and define it in Webstorm as npm script; command: run, script: test
