Getting "Executed 0 of 0 ERROR" in the console

Hi all,

I’m trying to use karma with jasmine-flight and require.js.

I have no tests in place, just want to get a normal “0 of 0 SUCESS” before getting started.

However this is ERROR is shown in my console:

INFO [karma]: Karma v0.10.2 server started at http://localhost:9876/
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Chrome
INFO [Chrome 29.0.1547 (Mac OS X 10.8.5)]: Connected on socket YRMSwebi_lNtEYDnL0rk
Chrome 29.0.1547 (Mac OS X 10.8.5): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (0.171 secs / 0 secs)

I have found similar issues but related to “Angular” not “Flight”.

This is my karma.conf:

// Karma configuration
// Generated on Thu Sep 19 2013 16:31:19 GMT+0200 (CEST)

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({

    basePath: '',

    frameworks: ['requirejs', 'jasmine'],

    // list of files / patterns to load in the browser

    autoWatch: true,

    browsers: ['Chrome'],

    captureTimeout: 5000,

    singleRun: false,

    reportSlowerThan: 500,

    plugins: [
            'karma-jasmine',
            'karma-requirejs',
            'karma-chrome-launcher',
            'karma-safari-launcher'
        ]
  });
};

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Anyone coming across this thread years later, as I did. I discovered there is a boolean you can set in the config object, failOnEmptyTestSuite This let me setup a configuration without needing to define any test cases.

See: http://karma-runner.github.io/2.0/config/configuration-file.html

In case this helps anyone, I ran into this problem because my main test file has 2 describe but no it.

It was like this:

describe('Something abstract', function() {
    describe('Something specific', function() {
    });
});

And when I made it like this, it worked:

describe('Something abstract', function() {
    describe('Something specific', function() {
        it('Something', function() {
            assert.equal(1, 1);
        });
    });
});
