Angular testing with Karma: “module is not defined”

Question

I know this question has been asked many times, and I know that in most cases people are missing the angular-mocks.js file.

I\'m running into the same i

Answer 1

The message stating that module/angular is not defined means that your angular-mocks.js file is not being loaded, despite the fact you have it listed in your karma.conf.js file.

The problem you're experiencing is gulp-karma ignoring your karma.conf.js files array. This happens when you pass a string or glob into gulp.src in the gulpfile.

To work around this, pass gulp.src a string for a bogus file, "./foobar" for instance, and this will cause the files array in the karma.conf.js file to be used instead.

gulp.task('test', function () {
  gulp.src('./foobar')
    .pipe(karma({
      configFile: 'karma.conf.js',
      action: 'run'
    }));
});

Hope this helps!
