Cannot start karma - no provider for jasmine

Hey Guys:

I’m having an issue with getting karma running (on a non angularJS project) - I’ve installed all dependencies with npm and ran the karma init my.conf.js 2 times. When I try and run karma start my.conf.js, here’s the output:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma/node_modules/di/lib/injector.js:9
  throw error('No provider for "' + name + '"!');
        ^
Error: No provider for "framework:jasmine"! (Resolving: framework:jasmine)

I have karma-jasmine and karma-phantomjs-launcher in node_modules, is there something else that I’m doing wrong? What else can I check?

Thanks,

I faced same error and tried to resolve for couple of hours.

Finally I figured out the issue. Which is “Karma module need to install LOCALLY not Globally” But you can have Karma-cli module can be installed globally.

npm uninstall karma -g
npm install karma 

# Optional
npm uninstall karma-cli
npm install karma-cli -g

@aleclarson remove property plugins(then karma will by default load all plugins from node_modules by pattern karma-*) or add to it karma-jasmine.

plugins: [require("karma-webpack"), require('karma-jasmine')],
