Using import in tests

[depinav]

Im running into an issue when trying to import a module to test. I have an angular 1.3.15 app up working with jspm and babel to transpile es6. I installed karma-jspm to run unit tests and it works great until I try to import a module to test. Im currently importing a module with a directive on it. When I look at my console I see this error:

Error loading "app/directives/loading-spinner/loading-spinner.spec" at http://localhost:9876/base/app/directives/loading-spinner/loading-spinner.spec.js
Error loading "npm:babel-core@5.3.3" at http://localhost:9876/base/jspm_packages/npm/babel-core@5.3.3.js
Error evaluating http://localhost:9876/base/jspm_packages/npm/babel-core@5.3.3.js
Error evaluating http://localhost:9876/base/jspm_packages/npm/babel-core@5.3.3/browser.js
TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 're.test.bind(re)')
at undefined

My karma.conf file has a jspm object that looks like this:

jspm: {
      // Edit this to your needs
      loadFiles: ['app/**/*.spec.js'],
      serveFiles: []
    },

My jspm set up keeps config.js and jspm_packages in the default locations. Let me know if you need anymore info from me, or you have suggestions.

How are you attempting to import them?

Based on what you have here I would guess that you need to add any files that you're loading to serveFiles, e.g.

jspm: {
    loadFiles: ['app/**/*.spec.js'],
    serveFiles: ['app/**/*.js']
}

It would be good to also move your test specs into a test directory so you don't have to include them twice.

Also note that jspm_packages is already included in serveFiles by default.

I'm experience this exact problem, but it only happens with the PhantomJS runner. The Chrome runner works fine, so I suspect it is not directly a karma-jspm problem but I might be wrong. Did you ever get a resolution?

@cmanus You are probably using PhantomJS 1.x, it lacks ES5 and don't work well with a lot of libs. Using karma-es5-shim resolve that for me:

npm install karma-es5-shim --save-dev

And add the es5-shim as the first framework on the karma.conf.js:

    frameworks: ['es5-shim', /* ... others */];

@depinav If you really want to use spec files on the same directory if you like can use that config:

jspm: {
    loadFiles: ['app/**/*.spec.js'],
    serveFiles ['app/**/!(*.spec).js']
}
