Jasmine spy document.execCommand is not called

Question

I write a test like this

describe('execCommand', function () {
    it('should call document.execCommand', function () {
        spyOn(document, 'execCommand').and.callThrough();
        expect(document.execCommand).toHaveBeenCalledWith('foreColor', false, 'red');
        document.execCommand('foreColor', false, 'red');
    });
});

But it fail Expected spy execCommand to have been called with [ 'foreColor', false, 'red' ] but it was never called. and I don't know why?

Please help.

Note: I run it using grunt-contrib-jasmine 0.9.2

Jasmine's expect function is an assertion at that time rather than an assertion that will be run at the end of the it block, switch the order to see it working:

describe('execCommand', function () {
  it('should call document.execCommand', function () {
    spyOn(document, 'execCommand').and.callThrough();
    document.execCommand('foreColor', false, 'red');
    expect(document.execCommand).toHaveBeenCalledWith('foreColor', false, 'red');
  });
});
