generator-angular: task “karma” not found when calling `grunt test`

Question

I\'m trying to setup a development environment with Yeoman for AngularJS, I installed Yeoman according to the instructions: sudo npm install -g yo bower grunt-cli generato

Answer 1

npm install grunt-karma --save-dev

or if you need it

sudo npm install grunt-karma --save-dev

from the docs on https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-karma

Answer 2

after running

npm install grunt-karma --save-dev

add the following line to Gruntfile.js

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-karma');

this works for me.

Answer 3

The obvious answers already posted here were completely unhelpful to me. If reinstalling grunt-karma via npm didn't work, and explicitly loading the task in the Gruntfile didn't help, you may be running a version of npm prior to 1.2.10.

It turns out that recent versions of grunt-karma rely on peer dependencies, which were introduced to Node with version 8.19. After upgrading Nodejs (which also installs npm) and upgrading karma globally, I discovered I needed to edit my karma config files as well. You'll want to add frameworks: ['jasmine'], to karma.conf.js and remove references to JASMINE and JASMINE_ADAPTER from the files setting.

Answer 4

A was having the problem of Not Found.

Finally I realize it was a problem with the port (8080 was already used)

in karma.config.js change the port number:

// web server port
port: 9999,
