When running jasmine it only presents dot(.) for successful tests, and only verbose if the test fails.

//test.spec.js
describe('jasmine', ()=>{
  it('should show this text', () =>{
  });
})

My running mand is: jasmine-node test.spec.js

The result:

.
Finished in 0.003 seconds
1 test, 1 assertion, 0 failures, 0 skipped

How to make jasmine display this test result like jasmine should show this text?

• javascript
• unit-testing
• jasmine
• jasmine-node

• 1 If it helps your search, you're asking how to configure or use a different reporter with jasmine. – stealththeninja Commented Nov 11, 2017 at 1:25
• I realise that this does not answer your question directly, but Mocha does list passing tests for you, it maybe an alternative for you to try. – Jeremy Commented Oct 10, 2019 at 12:08

Use the --verbose flag:

> jasmine-node test.spec.js --verbose

jasmine - 0 ms
    should show this test - 0 ms

Finished in 0.007 seconds
1 test, 1 assertion, 0 failures, 0 skipped

Note: jasmine-node doesn't seem to be actively maintained. The jasmine CLI supports tests run from the mand line.

Although jasmine doesn't have a verbose flag, you can use a custom terminal reporter (example: jasmine-terminal-reporter). From jasmine's documentation, add a helper file to load the custom reporter and include the helper in your configuration file.

helpers/terminal-reporter.js

var Reporter = require('jasmine-terminal-reporter');
var reporter = new Reporter(options);

jasmine.addReporter(reporter);

spec/support/jasmine.json

{
  "spec_dir": "spec",
  "spec_files": [
    "**/*[sS]pec.js",
  ],
  "helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.js"
  ],
  stopSpecOnExpectationFailure: false,
  random: false
}

I know this is a relatively old question but found something which worked for me

describe('Desc1',() => {
   
    afterEach(() => {
      const myReporter = {
        specDone: (result) => {
          console.log('Spec FullName: ' + result.fullName);
          console.log('Spec Result: ' + result.status);
        }
      };
      jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(myReporter);
    });
})

You can use jasmine-spec-reporter.

Just add at the top of your test file:

import { SpecReporter } from 'jasmine-spec-reporter';
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({ spec: { displayStacktrace: 'pretty' } }));
