Infinite load for some projects

[cidthecoatrack]

Hi Morten, I just recently started using your wonderful ad-on to VS, and I love it! However, I have noticed an odd problem. In one of my VS solutions, the test adapter loads forever and never finishes (green bar always scrolling, "Run All" always grayed out), which means I cannot run any tests.

Here is my karma.conf.js file, which is included in the solution:

// Karma configuration
// Generated on Wed Oct 08 2014 13:34:17 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

module.exports = function (config) {
config.set({

    // base path that will be used to resolve all patterns (eg. files, exclude)
    basePath: '',


    // frameworks to use
    // available frameworks: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-adapter
    frameworks: ['jasmine'],


// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
files: [
    'DNDGenSite/Scripts/Angular/angular.min.js',
    'DNDGenSite/Scripts/Angular/angular-mocks.js',
    'DNDGenSite/Scripts/app/**/*.module.js',
    'DNDGenSite/Scripts/app/**/*.js',
    'Tests/Unit/Scripts/**'
],


    // list of files to exclude
    exclude: [
    ],


    // preprocess matching files before serving them to the browser
    // available preprocessors: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-preprocessor
    preprocessors: {
    },        

    // web server port
    port: 9876,


    // enable / disable colors in the output (reporters and logs)
    colors: true,


    // level of logging
    // possible values: config.LOG_DISABLE || config.LOG_ERROR || config.LOG_WARN || config.LOG_INFO || config.LOG_DEBUG
    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,


    // enable / disable watching file and executing tests whenever any file changes
    autoWatch: true,

    // start these browsers
    // available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher
    browsers: ['PhantomJS'],

    // Continuous Integration mode
    // if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
    singleRun: true,
    reporters: ['progress', 'junit'],
    junitReporter: {
        outputFile: 'unit-specs.xml',
        suite: 'unit'
    }
});
};

In different solutions, the adapter works just fine - it finds all the Karma tests and auto-runs them, showing them in the test explorer. I'm not sure what the differences are here.

In both solutions, I installed karma via npm install karma --save-dev

Is this an issue with something I have configured, or possible an error in your add-on? If you need any additiona information (or for me to file this in a different place), please say so, and I will be more than willing to oblige :)

Many thanks for a great tool!

This might be a long shot, but I had what seems to be the same issue. My problem was that I had removed the plugins property from the config file (which specified the karma-phantomjs-launcher plugin) at some point and I forgot to re-add it – i.e.

        plugins: [
          'karma-phantomjs-launcher`
        ],

Does adding this to your config file fix your problem?

Unfortunately, I have moved on and am now using Chutzpah instead. Sorry :( But I do know that I that property was not set in my config files, so that could very well have been the issue.
