I am trying to run karma test via a gulp task. I use https://github.com/karma-runner/gulp-karma and for some reason gulp cannot locate my karma.conf.js. That file is located in the same folder as the gulpfile. The root of the project. No matter what path I put, I get the same error File ./karma.conf.js does not exist. I cannot figure out how to path it correctly. Here is the code for the gulp task.
gulp.task('tdd', function (done) {
new Server({
configFile: 'karma.conf.js'
}, done).start();
});
This is how I spool up karma using Gulp ( and both files are in the same root ).
var karma = require('karma');
gulp.task('karma', function (done) {
karma.server.start({
configFile: __dirname + '/karma.conf.js'
}, done);
});
UPDATE
If you are running NODE.js then
NODE Explnation for __dirname link
"The name of the directory that the currently executing script resides in."
If you are not running NODE.js, then perhaps all you needed was
configFile: '/karma.conf.js'
But if you are running NODE then use the first example.
If another destination directory is assigned to __dirname
, then it doesn't work.
Try this:
var Server = require('karma').Server
gulp.task('test', function (done) {
new Server({
configFile: require('path').resolve('karma.conf.js'),
singleRun: true
}, done).start();
});
