I am trying to run jasmine tests on files that are using requirejs. I have a require.config.js file which provides all the configuration for the requirejs and I am passing to this command to run the jasmine test.

jasmine-node --runWithRequireJs --captureExceptions --requireJsSetup spec/require.config.js spec/modules/test.spec.js

My require.config.js looks like this -

var require = {
    baseUrl: "../app",
      urlArgs: 'cb=' + Math.random(),
      paths: {
        jquery: '../assets/js/libs/jquery-1.8.2',
        underscore: '../assets/js/libs/underscore-min',
        backbone: '../assets/js/libs/backbone-min',
        jasmine: '../spec/lib/jasmine',
        jasminehtml: '../spec/lib/jasmine-html',
        boot: '../spec/lib/boot',
        spec: '../spec/',
        handlebars : '../assets/js/libs/handlebars-1.0.0.beta.6',
        // plugins
        jqueryui : '../assets/js/plugins/jquery-ui',
        jqgrid : '../assets/js/plugins/jqGrid',
        jqgridlocale : '../assets/js/plugins/i18n/grid.locale-en',
        jqform : '../assets/js/plugins/jquery.form',
        jqfiledownload : '../assets/js/plugins/jquery.fileDownload',
        migrate: '../assets/js/plugins/jquery-migrate',
        text : '../assets/js/plugins/text'
      shim: {
        'underscore': {
          exports: "_"
        'backbone': {
          deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],
          exports: 'Backbone'
        'jasmine': {
          exports: 'jasmine'
        'jasminehtml': {
          deps: ['jasmine'],
          exports: 'jasmine'
        'boot': {
          deps: ['jasmine', 'jasminehtml'],
          exports: 'window.jasmineRequire'
        'handlebars' : {
                exports : 'Handlebars'
        'text' : {
            exports : 'text'
        'jqueryui' : [ 'jquery' ],
        'jqgrid' : [ 'jquery' ],
        'jqgridlocale' : [ 'jquery' ],
        'jqform':['jquery'],
        'jqfiledownload':['jquery'],
        'migrate':['jquery']
And my test.spec.js file looks like this - 
define(['modules/models/RouteModel','modules/models/RestWebService'], function(RouteModel,RestWebService){
describe("RouteModel :", function(){
    it("should create an test instance", function(){
        expect(RouteModel).not.toBe(null);
After running the command I am getting in the console
ReferenceError: define is not defined at C:\Users\TestProject\spec\modules\test.spec.js:1:1
What can be the problem in this case? Is this a path configuration issue?
P.S. - I want complete console output of jasmine, not browser output in jasmine.
Error is pretty much straight forward you need to load requirejs before calling it's function. you can find more clear idea from below link:

                Thanks for the response. I went through this link before posting but I don't want to run jasmine through browser. If I run through browser I am getting output as all my tests were passing. But I want to get the output through npm command or in this case jasmine-node. In this case I am getting define is not defined error.

                Actually I am aiming for complete console output so anything related to SpecRunner.html won't help my case.
