Did not manage to run jasmine tests

I intended to run jasmine test on win7, phpstorm7, phpstorm karma plugin. I found multiple problems…

I installed karma from git bash:

npm install -g karma

Despite the statements in the documentation it did not install the karma-* plugins, so I had to install them manually:

npm install -g karma-jasmine npm install -g karma-requirejs …

After that I generated a test file with karma:

module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        basePath: 'test',
        frameworks: ['jasmine', 'requirejs'],
        files: [
            {pattern: 'test-mixin.js', included: true}
        ],
        exclude: [

        ],
        reporters: ['progress'],
        port: 9876,
        colors: true,
        logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
        autoWatch: true,
        browsers: ['Firefox'],
        captureTimeout: 60000,
        singleRun: false
    });
};

I tried to run (ofc I installed the plugins after found out by run that they are not installed), but I got the following phenomenons:

• Sometimes I got port is already in use message, sot it automatically tries with other port (but nothing runs on the 9876 just karma). I tried with another port, I got the same results after some runs.
• If I close the browser window manually it does not start a new window, just writes that server is not running. If I add the new window manually it starts complaining about port collisions, and opens a new window with different port.
• I tried to change the browser to Chrome in the config file, but it still did open Firefox window.
• I have confusing messages in phpstorm windows:
  • empty test suite (in event log)
  • no tests found
  • instantiating tests (for several minutes)
  • unable to attach test reporter to test framework or test framework quit unexpectedly
  • waiting for previous execution
  • [DEBUG] config - No config file specified
  • INFO [karma]: Delaying execution, these browsers are not ready: Firefox 26.0.0 (Windows 7)

I don’t know what happens in the background, but the test obviously does not run. :S

(The code uses core js only, it does not require browser specific tests, so I’ll change to jasmine-node instead of this.)

I removed the requirejs from the frameworks in the config, now it works. Something is wrong with that plugin…

i was having the same problem

it was basically removing requirejs from the list of frameworks frameworks: [‘jasmine’],

or

you should put this file main-test.js (http://karma-runner.github.io/0.8/plus/RequireJS.html)

requirejs.config({ // Karma serves files from ‘/base’ baseUrl: ‘/’,

callback: window.__karma__.start

});
