loadFixtures does not wait for async call

[jeffwatkins]

Are you using a file URL? Or are your tests running off a Web server?

[levous]

I'm using the jasmine gem in a non rails, static file environment
When I use the jasmine-jquery loadFixtures, it loads prior to the tests being executed

(but I'd rather use yours as I don't want to introduce query into my tests)
:)

The code actually uses the following:

_loadFixtureIntoCache: function(url)
  {
    var self= this;
    var xhr= new jasmine.Fixtures.XHR();
    xhr.open('GET', url, false);
    xhr.send(null);
    var status= xhr.status;
    var succeeded= 0===status || (status>=200 && status<300) || 304==status;

    if (!succeeded)
      throw new Error('Failed to load resource: status=' + status + ' url=' + url);
    this._fixturesCache[url]= xhr.responseText;
  },

You've changed the async parameter from false to true. There is no way for the method to block until the XHR request is complete in async mode.

But I did not change the code at all. I simply wrote the spec and found the code that was running first. I am not sure why I had this version of code. I'll try the latest and see if that works correctly. Thanks very much for the response.

Actually, it turns out I'm a complete idiot: in an early version I had the flag backwards (making the call async instead of sync). You probably just need to pull to get the latest version.

Sorry about that.
