Jasmine can't read a valid json file

Question

I have this JSON file :

{
"Address": [{
    "street": "rue de la paix",
    "zipcode": "3049"
}, {
    "street": "champs de mars",
    "zipcode": "2303"
}]
}

Which is valid. I'm trying to read that file in one of my Jasmine specifications. When I ajax it I get my file contents and everything works fine.

But, when I launch my test maven in console log I get error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : in the second line, just after the "Address".

And if I remove the ":" the error disappears but I can no longer read the file (which is very understandable).

Code of maven goal is defined as follows:

<plugin>
   <groupId>com.github.searls</groupId>
   <artifactId>jasmine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>2.0</version>
   <executions>
      <execution>
         <goals>
            <goal>test</goal>
         </goals>
      </execution>
   </executions>
   <configuration>
      <specRunnerTemplate>REQUIRE_JS</specRunnerTemplate>
      <preloadSources>
         <source>jsonResources/testjson.json</source>
      </preloadSources>
      <specIncludes>
         <include>**/*.spec.js</include>
      </specIncludes>
   </configuration>
</plugin>

Had anyone had a similar problem ?

Answer 1

Obviously maven doesn't like json file referenced as source. Because it is parsed as javascript code
