No provider from "framework:browserify"

I’m trying to use karma to run my tests, and encounter some strange error.

I’m running everything locally, and don’t have karma installed globally.

As you can see in the debug logs, all the plugins are loaded correctly. I have made some research here and on SO before posting, and tried every solution I found, but (obviously) none worked:

• Tried adding the plugins in the plugins array in my config file.
• Tried to install karma-cli globally.

But still got the same issue. However, the issue varies sometimes:

If I add plugins: ['karma-browserify'] to my config file, it return me

No provider for "framework:mocha"!

But when I add plugins: ['karma-browserify', 'karma-mocha'], it return me

No provider for "framework:browersify"!

which is pretty weird.

So I’m open to suggestions 😃
