Karma - Use PhantomJS instead of Chrome

Question

I'm trying to set up automated testing with Karma. Although I ran into a problem.

npm start or npm install give me this error:

> concurrently "npm run tsc:w" "npm run lite"

Sorry for the amount of code but I can't seem to find the problem myself.

Edit: it works local, on server I get this error:

Your Karma error stems from the 404 above it. Karma isn't serving the system-polyfills.js file. You need to add it or more likely system-polyfills.src.jsto the files section above system.src.js. If you haven't created systemjs.config.extras.js as well you'll get another less critical error after that. If you don't have one just create an empty file with that name.

If npm start and npm test still fail after that please update your question with the output from npm install and I'll update this answer.

updated the answer, it does work on my local machine but when I deploy it to my server (c.i.) I get the error shown in the answer. – Ivar Reukers Oct 03 '16 at 07:17
PhantomJS is not running on your server because you're missing libraries it needs. `/lib/libz.so.1`, `/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6`, and `/usr/lib/libc.so.6`. You'll need to install them and probably others once those are in. A quick google search of the error makes me think phantomjs may not be supported on your distro/version. https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/13940 . You glibc version seems too old or otherwise incompatible. – majinnaibu Oct 03 '16 at 23:28

The problem could be sourced from the incompatible systems of Karma and Protractor which aren't recommended to be used together:

https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/9#issuecomment-19927049

Protractor and Karma should not be used together; instead they provide separate systems for running tests. Protractor and Karma cover different aspects of testing - Karma is intended mostly for unit tests, while Protractor should be used for end to end testing.

Protractor is built on top of WebDriverJS, which uses a Selenium/WebDriver server to provision browsers and drive test execution. Examples of pure WebDriverJS can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/WebDriverJs

https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/9#issuecomment-19931154

Georgios - I think it makes sense to keep Protractor and Karma separate - for end to end tests, you want the native event driving and flexibility of webdriver, while for unit tests you want fast execution and autowatching of files.

Original answer was found here: Can Protractor and Karma be used together?

Karma - Use PhantomJS instead of Chrome
