Please help me on this
Hi,
Same problem here.
It happens with newly created projects created by both cli 6.8.0 and cli 7.1.2 (the problem seems framework independent, although I've tested it with Angular projects only)
Turns out I had a project created by cli v6.8.0 which didn't had this problem. By carefully checking the dependencies I realized that in my previous project karma version was 4.4.1 and karma-jasmine was 2.0.1.
By updating those entries in the package.json file as follow:
-
"karma": "6.1.0" -> "karma": "4.4.1" -
"karma-jasmine": "3.3.1" -> "karma-jasmine": "2.0.1"
The problem is gone.
@itsmerockingagain, since you have other karma packages you'll need to carefully check if other packages need downgrade or not, to match with that previous version of karma. Perhaps, none of them is incompatible though.
The problem seems to come from a breaking change induced by karma from v4.4.1 to v6.1.0. Perhaps something has to be updated in the karma-nativescript-laucher package or the karma.conf.js file? Just a guess, hadn't check in detail.
Hope this helps. This is a problem anyone creating a new project is going to face.
Edit: It seems there's no need to downgrade karma-jasmine to v2.0.1. Just replacing karma package version with 4.4.1 solves the problem. My project only has the example test though. I don't know if this can induce errors in larger projects.
Karma 5.2.3 works as well as pointed out in #5472.
