I have a more-or-less vanilla Laravel + Vue.js app and I am trying to do some JS testing with Karma and Jasmine. If I try to use () => {} style functions or keywords like const in my tests, they fail with Unexpected token errors, however, I do not have a problem using the import keyword and I am able to transpile and work with .vue files without issue.
A trivial assertion like
expect(true).toBe(true);
Seems to work fine (see last line)
$ ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start
22 11 2016 11:09:23.250:INFO [karma]: Karma v1.3.0 server started at http://localhost:9876/

PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Mac OS X 0.0.0): Executed 1 of 1 SUCCESS (0.004 secs / 0.002 secs)
Then, if I add a trivial const declaration to my test function
const myVar = 1
expect(true).toBe(true);
I get an error:
$ ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start
22 11 2016 11:10:00.741:INFO [karma]: Karma v1.3.0 server started at http://localhost:9876/

Instead, if I try to cause a syntax error
const = 1 // syntax error
expect(true).toBe(true);
then Babel complains (on the first line, before Karma or PhantomJS boots up)

You need to include some adapter that implements __karma__.start method!
This seems to imply that the Example.spec.js file is being parsed/transpiled by Babel, but that the transpiled version is not being delivered to the browser properly, even though the Example.vue file seems to be delivered properly.
What can I do to be able to get things like const and () => {} to work in my tests? Thank you.
Here are the relevant files:
resources/assets/js/components/Example.vue
resources/assets/js/tests/unit/Example.spec.js
karma.conf.js
package.json
// Example.vue
<template>
<div class="container">
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
mounted() {
console.log('Component ready.')
},
data() {
return { input: '# Hello!' }
}
}
</script>
// Example.spec.js
import Example from '../../components/Example.vue';
describe('Example', function () {
it('should set correct default data', function () {
const myVar = 1
// trivial assertions
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
});
// karma.conf.js
var path = require('path')
var basePath = './resources/assets/js/';
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
frameworks: ['jasmine'],
port: 9876,
logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
autoWatch: true,
browsers: ['PhantomJS'],
singleRun: true,
basePath: basePath,
webpack: {
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.vue'],
fallback: [path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules')],
},
resolveLoader: {
fallback: [path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules')]
},
module: {
loaders: [
{ test: /\.vue$/, loader: 'vue' },
{ test: /\.js$/, loader: 'babel',
include: basePath,
}
]
}
},
webpackMiddleware: {
noInfo: true,
stats: 'errors-only'
},

],

}
