What should I use instead of jasmine-node?

jasmine-node's own maintainers named jasmine as the successor. jasmine is not a drop-in replacement, so expect to change call sites.

How to migrate from jasmine-node to jasmine

Install jasmine and run npx jasmine init; Jasmine 1.x globals such as ddescribe and iit become fdescribe and fit in Jasmine 2 and later.

Why jasmine-node is on this list

jasmine-node's README has a "Project status" section stating the project is in maintenance mode and recommending the jasmine or jasmine-npm package instead. It bundles Jasmine 1.3.1, several major versions behind, and its last release was 3.0.0 in May 2019. The jasmine package is the Jasmine team's own Node runner and is actively released.

The succession is settled: primary sources agree and the ecosystem has already moved.

jasmine-node alternatives

Beyond the primary recommendation, these are credible for jasmine-node's use case:

• jest — view on npm
• vitest — view on npm
• mocha — view on npm

Check your own project for jasmine-node

npx dead-deps --all --min-state unmaintained

Run that in the directory holding your lockfile. If jasmine-node is anywhere in your tree — a direct dependency or buried under something else — it appears in the report with this verdict, this successor and the same evidence links, alongside anything else that has stopped moving. Nothing is uploaded; the scan reads your lockfile locally and queries public registry metadata.

Exit code 1 means something was flagged, which makes npx dead-deps --min-state deprecated usable as a CI gate. See how verdicts are produced.
