Error: givens: given must be called inside a describe in

[vjustov]

Hello, I'm working on an angular project that is using jasmine through karma,
when i try to use givens i get the error in the title.
by changing the regex that are used to evaluate the context to: /(jasmine\\.js|jasmine\/lib\/loader\.js)/ and /Env\.describe|Env\/this.describe/ respectively the test seems to work.

I am trying to provide a greenfield sandbox to replicate the bug, but so far haven't been able

[maboesanman]

is this project open source? if so could you provide a repo? non-minimal example is potentially fine as long as its reproducible

[maboesanman]

can you confirm whether using only modifying the value checking Env works?

the first one determines if the runner is jasmine, and if it can't figure it out it avoids blocking.
the second one determines if the current call stack is inside a describe.

I would like to create some sort of minimal integration test for this use case, but for now I believe your second regex should do the trick, if you could confirm for me
