Travis CI plays jasmine node tests, but runs locally

Question

I am working on a command line application in node that makes some file system, reads and expresses application material, and all my tests pass locally, however, Travis has a problem creating (turning off the time, which is a Jasmine node thing). Here is what i have

.travis.yml

language: node_js
node_js:
  - '>=0.10'
before_script:
  - npm install -g grunt-cli
  - npm link
script:
  - "grunt --verbose"

sickmerge_spec.js

// Set the test environment
process.env.NODE_ENV = 'test';

// Dependencies
var exec = require('child_process').exec,
    fs = require('fs'),
    version = require('../package.json').version,
    request = require('request');
    // Helper function to exectue the sickmerge cli
    function execSickmerge (options, callback) {
        exec('sickmerge ' + options, function(err, stdout) {
            console.log(stdout);
            callback(stdout);
        });
    }
// ... Lots of other tests that exec the command, test below fails
describe('web application services', function() {
    it('should respond when with a 200 when http requested', function(done) {
        execSickmerge('./spec/fixtures/javascript.js', function() {
            request('http://127.0.0.1:3000/', function(err, response) {
                expect(response.statusCode).toEqual(200);
                done();
            });
        });
    });
});

    console.log(
        'Sickmerge is waiting for changes.\n' +
        'Visit http://' + hostname + ':' + port + '/ in your browser to make changes\n' +
        'Pressing "Save" or "Cancel" will do the action and close the sickmerge program.\n'+
        'Press CTRL+C if you\'ve closed your web browser and didn\'t click either of those buttons.'
    );
    app.listen(port);
    if( env !== 'test') open('http://' + hostname + ':' + port);
});

You can also see the code in github while building in Travis . Initially, I thought app.list () prevents the console from executing, but deleting it also does not work.

Is Travis just blocking certain ports? Does the file system request allow?
