Karma autoWatch is not working, I'm losing my mind over this.

gregordotjs commented 8 years ago

Expected behavior

when I change something in the test file, the tests are ran automatically

Actual behavior

when I change something in the test file, the changes are not visible automatically. I have to open another cmd and execute "karma run" in order to run the tests again.

Enviroment Details

Karma version (output of karma --version): 0.13.22
Relevant part of your karma.config.js file: everything is default
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
1. npm install -g karma karma-cli karma-jasmine karma-chrome-launcher
2. karma init - leave everything default (location is "js/*.js")
3. karma start karma.conf.js
4. make a change in the test file --> nothing happens
5. restart karma in cmd, the changes are visible

OK I managed to get it to work by migrating to another location - perhaps the path was too long? Are there any such limitations?

It should be noted that you shouldn't install karma globally, just the cli. An installation of karma should be specified with a package.json, along with plugins like the launchers.
