"singleRun" option causing crash

In package.json, I have this script defined:

"karma": "node node_modules/karma/bin/karma start test/karma.conf.js --single-run"

This used to work fine. I recently upgraded to OSX El Capitan, and now when I run npm run karma I get:

> node node_modules/karma/bin/karma start test/karma.conf.js --single-run

If I just run

node node_modules/karma/bin/karma start test/karma.conf.js --single-run

or if I remove singleRun: true from my karma.conf.js file, I get:

node node_modules/karma/bin/karma start test/karma.conf.js

But I get no indication of whether tests passed or failed…

This was working fine yesterday, and I’ve been hacking at this for a few hours but I’ve had no luck 😞

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys. I don’t know if it will solve your problem, but I came up with similar problem while running ‘karma --single-run --browsers Chrome’ from npm script. I would get an unclear npm error:

Chrome 61.0.3163 (Windows 10 0.0.0): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (0.007 secs / 0 secs)

At the end the problem was that I didn’t had any tests and the script would fail. I finally solved it by adding : failOnEmptyTestSuite: false to my karma.conf.js file, so it won’t fail the script when there are no tests. Hope it will help in any way.

resolved. duplicate method caused by merge conflict lead to this cryptic error message.
