Global variables in Karma test runner

Question

I have a global variable defined in my main template, which I use to store information bits from the back end, such as the environment context path. I can't move that variable inside a service.

How can I expose that variable to Karma when I run the unit tests?

Answer 1

You either declare that global variable within your test file:

var global = "something";  describe('Your test suit', function() { ... }); 

or add a Javascript file where it's defined to your karma.conf.js file:

// list of files / patterns to load in the browser files: [    ...,    'file-containing-the-global-variable.js' ],
