The Karma Node Package is failing to run and providing no information

I've been troubleshooting an issue with my karma.conf.js file for the past two days. Despite my efforts, the terminal output provides no helpful information to identify the source of the problem. There are no hints within the document itself indicating where the error might be occurring, making it a challenging task.

Here is the response from the terminal:

$ karma start karma.conf.js

This is the content of karma.conf.js file:

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

            'bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js',
            'bower_components/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js',
            'bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
            'app/scripts/*.js'

        ],

        phantomjsLauncher: {
            // Have phantomjs exit if a ResourceError is encountered (useful if karma exits without killing phantom) 
            exitOnResourceError: true
        },

        // Continuous Integration mode
        // if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
        singleRun: false,

        // Concurrency level
        // how many browser should be started simultaneously
        concurrency: Infinity

    })
};

Answer №1

It appears that there is a missing comma in the list of files:

// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
        files: [
            'bower_components/angular/angular.js',
            'bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js',
            'bower_components/angular-ui-router/release/angular-ui-router.js',
            'bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
            'app/scripts/*.js',
            'test/unit/**/*.js'
        ]
