Karma not finding my jasmine test, TypeError

Question

When trying to run my jasmine test, which is testing my angular customer directive "book directive" using test-runner karma i'm getting the following output errors: (I'm getting various TypeErrors from each script file, not even finding my test let alone showing a failing test))

Karma Output

Jasmine Test

'use strict'

define(['angular', 'jquery',], function (angular) {

    describe('bookDirective', function () {
      var el;

        // Load the myApp module, which contains the directive
        beforeEach(module('testModule'));
        beforeEach(module('Js/NewFeature/Book.html'));

        // Store references to $rootScope and $compile
        // so they are available to all tests in this describe block
        beforeEach(inject(function ($compile, $rootScope) {
            // The injector unwraps the underscores (_) from around the parameter names when matching
            scope = _$rootScope_;

            scope.color = "red";
            scope.title = "ghost";
            //create and compile directive
            el = angular.element("<book title='Ghost' color='red'></book>");

            // compile the dom node and apply the scope, this will return a getter function
            $compile(el)(scope);

            scope.$digest(); // update the html
        }));

        it('background colour of book should be red', function () {
            // check if background color is red
            expect(el.css('background-color').toEqual('red'));
        });

    });

});

How do I get my tests to run?

Answer 1

your base path is basePath: '../', . So, files array should be

files: [
        "../scripts/angular.js",
       "../scripts/angular-route.js",
       "../scripts/angular-mocks.js",
       "../scripts/angular-sanitize.js",
       "../scripts/angular-scenario.js",
       "../scripts/jasmine.js",
       "../tests/newfeaturetests/directivetest.js",
       "../tests/test-main.js"
    ]

Please check base path.

Please also check your index.html file for all script JS that you included and list it in files Array.Otherwise it will lead error if one of those script will dependency for other.

Also in your jasmine test beforeEach(module('Js/NewFeature/Book.html'));

this is wrong.This is not module name registered with angular app.Please check it.remove it.

Also please refer directive testing for more.
