ReferenceError: module is not defined - Karma/Jasmine configuration with Angular/Laravel app

Question

I have an existing Angular/Laravel app in which Laravel acts as an API to the angular frontend serving only JSON data. The page that loads the angular app, index.php

Answer 1

I encountered a similar message and turned out I got my angular-mocks file path wrong. I used npm to install angular and angular-mocks, and I specified their path wrongly in my Karma.conf.js like this:

files: [
    'node_modules/angular/angular.js',
    'node_modules/angular/angular-mocks.js',
    'scripts/*.js',
    'tests/*.js'
],

I should specify the path of angular-mocks.js as this:

'node_modules/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js'

Very simple error, but could be time-consuming to locate if you just started with AngularJS unit testing and didn't know where to look.
