Getting “Mismatched anonymous define() module…” when I try running tests

Question

I am trying to configure my karma jasmine unit testing with requirejs. But each time i run it, i am getting the below error:

Chrome 34.0.1847 (Mac OS X 10.9.2) ERROR
Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function (angular){

 describe('Unit: Testing RequireJS', function(){
  var ctrl;
  var scope;
  var rootScope;

  beforeEach(angular.mock.module('wsaApp'));

  beforeEach(angular.mock...<omitted>...ch

Below are differenr file: spec file:

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

describe('Unit: Testing RequireJS', function(){
   var ctrl;
   var scope;
   var rootScope;

beforeEach(angular.mock.module('wsaApp'));

beforeEach(angular.mock.inject(function($rootScope){
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    rootScope = $rootScope;
}));

});
});

main.js

require.config({

paths: {
    /* ABC order */
    'angular': 'vendor/angular/1.2.0/angular.min'
},
shim: {
    'angular': { exports: 'angular' },

    'app/controllers': { deps: ['angular'] }
}
});

test-main.js

// This creates an array of all the files that Karma finds with a suffix of
// Test.js (eg utilsTest.js) to be added to the Require JS config below
var tests = [],
file;
for (file in window.__karma__.files) {
if (window.__karma__.files.hasOwnProperty(file)) {
    if(/spec\.js$/.test(file)) {
        tests.push(file);
    }
}
}
requirejs.config({
baseUrl: '/base/public/javascripts/',  // Karma serves files from /base/<your-base-path>
    paths: {
        /* ABC order */
        'angular': 'vendor/angular/1.2.1/angular.min'

    },
    shim: {
        'angular': { exports: 'angular' },
        'app/controllers': { deps: ['angular'] },           
         },
deps: tests,  // add tests array to load our tests

callback: window.__karma__.start  // start tests once Require.js is done
});

karma.conf.js

//Karma configuration
module.exports = function (config) {
config.set({

singleRun: true
  });
 }

i have tried different options mentioned in other threads, but nothing seems to work.

Finally i solved all the issues and was able to run the jasmine test successfully with requirejs configuration. I had top mention all the dependencies in the karma config and mark them as included: false exclusively so that they get loaded by requirejs through my test-config file.

files: [
    {pattern: 'vendor/angular/1.2.1/angular.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'vendor/angular/1.2.1/angular-mocks.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'vendor/angular/1.2.1/angular-*.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'vendor/bootstrap/bootstrap-*.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'jquery-1.7.1.min.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'app/app.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'app/**/*.js', included: false},
    {pattern: 'test/test-config.js', included: true}]

only the test-config is loaded through karma and all others to be included in the karma config but mark as false.

Also, i had to load the app.js in my spec file so that the modules and controllers get loaded:

define(['angular-mocks', 'jquery', 'app/app'], function(angularmocks, $, app){
describe.....
}

Since you're loading the specific .js files you need in your test-main.js with the paths: { } parameter, you don't have to explicitly list them in karma.config.js. Instead, you can just use your line { pattern: 'app/**/*.js', included: false }. All the lines before that are redundant. Just make sure you have the included: false modifier, otherwise Karma will load them in-line, and you'll get the Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() problem
