Jasmine-node and sails.js (0.10.0-rc8) - sails.js

Question

When I try to run something as simple as this, I get an error: 'static() root path required'.
If only one 'it' is run, it will pass.
Anyone knows what's the catch?
var Sails = require('sails');
describe("Crud tests:", function() {
var app;
beforeEach(function(done) {
// Lift Sails and start the server
Sails.lift({
log: {
level: 'error'
},
}, function(err, sails) {
console.log("sails lifted");
app = sails;
done(err, sails);
});
});
afterEach(function(done) {
Sails.lower(done);
console.log('sails down');
});
it("1", function(done) {
expect(1).toEqual(1);
done();
});
it("2", function (done) {
expect(2).toEqual(2);
done();
});
});

See https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/issues/1860, quoted below:
Looking at the core tests, even in the ones where we lift / lower for
each individual test, it's always with a fresh instance of Sails. I
don't think a lot of testing has gone into lowering / re-lifting the
same instance, and I wouldn't be shocked to find out that some globals
are hanging around that screw up the lift sequence. So unless there's
a reason why you need it to be the same Sails, rather than a new Sails
with the same options, I'd follow the example of the core tests and
create a fresh instance. To do so, you require the Sails factory,
instead of the full Sails module:
var Sails = require('Sails/lib/app')
var sailsInstance = new Sails();
sailsInstance.lift(...);

I think that the sails v0.10 should be lifted differently. The code bellow is from my project which runs on rc9.
# test/support/sails.coffee
process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test'
process.env.PORT = 1338
Sails = require('sails/lib/app')
app = Sails()
beforeEach (done) ->
app.lift
models:
migrate: 'drop' # rebuild database (optional)
, done
afterEach (done) ->
app.lower done
describe ...
I hope it helps.
