Zero test executed by Karma (AngularJS, RequireJS)

Question

I have an AngularJS 1.5.11 app where RequireJS 2.2.0 is used everywhere. Unit tests are needed. And I can't get even a dummy test executed. Please advise.

The error:

PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Linux 0.0.0): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (0.044 secs / 0 secs)

Detailed debug level output from karma start --browsers PhantomJS_custom --log-level debug command: https://gist.github.com/sergibondarenko/1120d211aa2265b76669cd831495a6c1

Test: app/controllers/__tests__/loginController.spec.js

define('loginController', [], function () {
  describe('loginController', function () {
    it('dymmy test', function () {
      expect(true).toBe(false);
    });
  });
});

Karma config: https://gist.github.com/sergibondarenko/4b305341faa24883cb90e6f8f7490d74

Test-main: https://gist.github.com/sergibondarenko/6aa25bf71bfadf39883a59d7cda57a65

Dev dependencies:

:~/dev/qxip/hepic$ grep -rn devD package.json -A 9
20:  "devDependencies": {
21-    "jasmine": "^2.8.0",
22-    "jasmine-core": "^2.4.1",
23-    "karma": "^0.13.22",
24-    "karma-browserify": "^5.1.1",
25-    "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.8",
26-    "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^1.0.4",
27-    "protractor": "^4.0.9",
28-    "watchify": "^3.9.0"
29-  },

The app structure is below. Some libs are in node_modules, other libs are in lib folder.

user@host:~/dev$ tree -L 1 theapp
theapp
├── app
├── css
├── font-awesome

└── widgets

Please tell me if you need more info.

where are you running your tests from ? Also, can you list the complete path for test-main.js instead of just the filename in karma.conf.js ? — trk

@82Tuskers I run command karma start --browsers PhantomJS_custom --log-level debug from my app root folder - ~/dev/theapp. The complete path for the test-main.js is ~/dev/theapp/test-main.js, please look the app structure above. — srgbnd

can you add a folder beneath app called test; that is /app/test/ and then add your test file as test-file.spec.js. Let me know if that works. — trk

In your karma.conf.js set this:

browsers: ['PhantomJS', 'PhantomJS_custom'],

    // you can define custom flags
    customLaunchers: {
      'PhantomJS_custom': {
        base: 'PhantomJS',
        options: {
          windowName: 'my-window',
          settings: {
            webSecurityEnabled: false
          },
        },
        flags: ['--load-images=true'],
        debug: true
      }
    },

    phantomjsLauncher: {
      // Have phantomjs exit if a ResourceError is encountered (useful if karma exits without killing phantom)
      exitOnResourceError: true
    }

Then supposing that you have your karma.conf.js file in the root, the same level where your app subfolder is and your test-main.js is, execute your tests through:

karma start karma.conf.js

quirimmo Over a year ago

so what about your files structure? is it as explained?

quirimmo Over a year ago

have you tried to execute your tests through karma start karma.conf.js so?

srgbnd Over a year ago

Yes, I did, the same error - PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Linux 0.0.0): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (0.045 secs / 0 secs)

You have an issue in your test-main.js. In order to prove that, please remove your dynamic code, and at the moment just push a static test file to your array please: allTestFiles.push(HEREMYSTATICTESTFILE); and check if the static file gets executed. Get back to me once tried please
