bundle error - cannot find module

[ekkis]

I read through this thread: https://github.com/nikku/karma-browserify/issues/50 and got a little further but I'm still having issues. first, my karma.conf.js (not complete):

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    frameworks: ['mocha', 'browserify'],
    files: [
      'tests/browser/*.js',
    ],  
   preprocessors: {
        'tests/browser/*.js': ['browserify']
    },  
    browsers: ['PhantomJS'],
    browserify: {
        debug: true,
        all: {
            src: ['src/*.js', 'tests/browser/*.js'],
            dest: 'tests/browser/tests.js'
        }
    }

so one thing I don't understand is how karma tells phantomJs what to run. I have a tests/browser/test.html page that includes the browserised tests/browser/tests.js (which you'll notice includes my source and the tests), which my Gruntfile.js tags via:

    mocha_phantomjs: {
        all: ['tests/browser/test.html']
    },

the other thing I don't understand is how to specify what gets browserified. the last stanza in the karma.conf.js came from my working Gruntfile.js but I have a feeling is wrong since (presumably) the files and preprocessors clauses are supposed to direct that. the docs really give me no clue.

so here's the aim: collect all the src/*.js and tests/browser/*.js into tests/browser/tests.js and have phantomJS run tests/browser/test.html

can anyone help? oh yeah... at present I'm getting these errors:

karma-browserify is a preprocessor for Karma so it probably makes sense for you to read into how Karma works before asking detailed questions about karma-browserify. After all, this will help you to better understand how this plug-in works, too.

As a general note, karma-browserify helps you to test your CommonJS code without the need to bundle it first (and create a test.html or the like). It does so by putting all files mentioned in preprocessors into a browserified bundle. Karma will load the bundle + generated test stubs in its own html page.

Please check out README and the provided example to learn more about this project and how to use it.

I had read the README in its entirety but it doesn't explain enough for me to figure out how to use it... but I think t's because I don't understand karma well enough. thanks for the reply.

@ekkis Same here. My config is ok according to the readme, and according to the debug the module file was added to the bundle and served, but still I cannot load it with require("./thefile").
