Run Karma using Gradle?

Question

I have Jasmine unit tests that I would like to run and get Istanbul code coverage reports for. I can run a command line script to run Karma in Jenkins, but it would be nice to have everything execute using my build.gradle.

Is it possible to run Karma using Gradle? I've searched google, but I can't seem to find a solution.

Thanks

Answer 1

I solved this by creating and running an executable task in the build.gradle file:

task karma(type:Exec) 
{
    commandLine 'karma', 'start', '--single-run true'
}

There's now a Gradle Karma Plugin that is worth considering.
