Karma, the test doesn't run

Question

this is what my karma code looks like ..

describe('E2E: Testing Controllers', function() {
  beforeEach(function() {
    browser().navigateTo('/dashboard/');
  });

  it('should have a working home page controller that applies the leads to scope', function() {
    browser().navigateTo('#/');
    expect(browser().location().path()).toBe("/");
    expect(element('.shoutbox').html());
  });
});

the karma is stuck at

browser navigate to '/dashboard/'

i am not sure what could be wrong here.

here is my karma config

var sharedConfig = require('./karma.shared.conf');

module.exports = function(config) {
  var conf = sharedConfig();

  conf.files = conf.files.concat([
    //test files
    './tests/e2e/**/*.js'
  ]);

  conf.proxies = {
    '/': 'http://localhost:8080/'
  };

  conf.urlRoot = '/__e2e/';

  conf.frameworks = ['ng-scenario'];

  config.set(conf);
};

where could i be going wrong?

Answer 1

Which browser you are using, because I don't see any config e.g. 'browsers: ['Chrome']'?

Please make a sure that you have running application at configured address in proxies.

Have you installed required plugins, such as:

https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-chrome-launcher

or

https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-ng-scenario

And if your browser are starting, take a look at the javascript console if there are some errors.

Maybe you need to include more files to your karma.conf e.g:

// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
        files: [
            'vendor/angular/angular.js', 'vendor/angular/angular-resource.js', 'vendor/angular/angular-mocks.js', 'test/e2e.*.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/e2e/**/*.js',
            'src/**/*.html'
        ]

Why you use browser().navigateTo(''); in beforeEach() and again in it()?

And what you want to achieve with this expect: expect(element('.shoutbox').html());?

Have a look at ng-scenario syntax and consider using Protractor.
