Can't find application module

[vance]

The template js file produces:

angular.module('MyLittleApp').run(['$templateCache', function($templateCache) { 'use strict';

$templateCache.put('src/main/app/components/nav/navigation.html',

but when Karma runs it, it says "Module 'MyLittleApp' is not available!" Without including this file tests work normally.

Is your actual module MyLittleApp already included before this file?

Example:

angular.module('MyLittleApp', ['ui.router']).config(...)

Of course there will be an error if Angular tries to reference a module that hasn't been declared yet...

[vance]

Yes, of course the application is there. I can include the application module in my tests and they work fine.

I'm not sure what to tell you without a test case. Hundreds of people have been using this in both testing, development & production successfully, so why Karma is complaining that the module is not available is probably a Karma issue. (That error doesn't sound like an Angular error).

Here's what seems promising via Google:

I can open this up again once there's an example to work off of...

My tests work absolutely fine in both grunt-contrib-jasmine and karma. The tests can load the application module and, for instance, my NavController. It can run tests against it.

Its as soon as I include the app.template.js in my karma config, the application is undefined error is raised (from that file). Do I need to defer something? I've tried wrapping in IIFE wrappers even.

The same error is raised in both grunt-karma and in grunt-contrib-jasmine.

@vance I've had my own set of issues before with multiple modules & Karma (namely ui.bootstrap, which is common in my stuff). Because Karma's such a ... interesting piece of architecture (I'm being polite here), can you take the Gruntfile.js, karma.conf.js, a core module, and show an example on how to reproduce this? Otherwise I'm flying blind here... =/

It would take a bit of time to clean out the project of business-specific doo-dads. But it could be done.

[vance]

Thanks for your patience. I've created a stripped-down test project. I included all the node modules so you can just pull-n-go.

Run grunt karma:go or grunt runtJasmine. In this project it is possible to run the tests standalone without template.js... you can toggle this in the karma config by setting {pattern:'src/main/app/templates.js', included: true}, to false

Just realized i pushed a broken version (from my cleanup). Gimme a sec.

[vance]

ok. I fixed the typo. It runs regardless, just wanted to make sure we are clear that's not the issue.

Any luck reproducing the problem of not finding the application module?
