You can know the jasmine version you are using by running the following Spec:
describe('Test to print out jasmine version', function() {
it('prints jasmine version', function() {
console.log('jasmine-version:');
console.log(jasmine.version || (jasmine.getEnv().versionString && jasmine.getEnv().versionString()));
});
});
and then checking the karma output in your console or browser. It should be something like:
LOG: 'jasmine-version:'
LOG: '2.3.4'
The jasmine library is included in the jasmine-runner plugin as you’ve already found out. You can find the exact place where this file is loaded in the source code of the plugin: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-jasmine/blob/master/lib/index.js (line 7)
You can try to modify the plugin so that an upgrade is possible and send a pull request to karma (see http://karma-runner.github.io/0.10/dev/contributing.html)
