error when running plugin

[emqa]

I keep getting the following error when running the plugin:

However when running the following command from command line and not the plugin it runs:

karma start c:\angular-phonecat\config\testacular-e2e.conf.js --single-run I have "karma" and NodeJs in my path

Karma is a batch file under Windows? In which case the Karma runner won't work, it needs to execute CMD similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6223765/start-a-java-process-using-runtime-exec-processbuilder-start-with-low-priori

I suggest you submit a patch.

This is a nice start, but we need war overlay support, individual browser configurability, templating and so forth for our team, thanks for the effort!

I have tried editing the line: "final ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("karma", "start", configFile.getAbsolutePath());" to run cmd however when I run mvn install it is still running "karma start c:\angular-phonecat\config\testacular-e2e.conf.js --single-run" as if it is taking the file from somewhere else.

I created a pull request for this #6

Version 1.1 of the plugin is now up in Maven Central - it includes the pull request from @Nikku. Consequently, am closing this issue.
