Workaround for R# complaining on use of an implicitly declared global variable

workaround.js

// This is a workaround for R# complaining on undefined global variables.
// In practice they come from and are defined by Jasmine and Protractor
// frameworks, so are not a real issues.


// Jasmine
var describe = function () { };

var beforeEach = function () { };
var afterEach = function () { };

var it = function () { };

var expect = function () { };
var spyOn = function () { };


// Protractor
var protractor = function () { };
var by = function () { };
var browser = function () { };

Came across this solution and it worked for me. However by declaring them as functions it overlayed the existing global methods so I just did an inline declaration of all the method names without assigning them and it fixed the issue.
