Simple example #46

Closed danielzen closed 9 years ago

danielzen commented 9 years ago

I know that you say "For an example project, check out Karma's client tests."

I was trying to create an extremely simple example with a minimum configuration. But I am getting an error 

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: global

in the Jasmine2 library. I have put more detail at StackOverflow, but I would be remiss if I didn't ask here... Any help much appreciated, and would be glad to add to examples.

It seems like my whole problem came down to the line in karma.conf.js (not shown in my original question:

preprocessors: {
  '**/*.js': ['commonjs']
},

For some reason, jasmine.js is not happy being pre-processed by commonjs, and "*/.js" says to go through all subdirectories (which is probably overkill), including node_modules which has jasmine-core/jasmine.js

So I can either make my pre-processor more specific (best practice):

preprocessors: {
  'spec/*.js': ['commonjs'],
  'js/*.js': ['commonjs']
},

but as a test to see if any other files would give me a problem, I tried:

preprocessors: {
  '**/!(jasmine).js': ['commonjs'],
},

And, everything worked as well. Bottom line. Do not process jasmine.js through commonjs preprocessor!
