Chrome opens up with localhost://9876 and shows "karma - starting"

Not able to make karma work. Please help.

I have tried setting autowatch: true and disabling firewall but none of these worked.

Answer 1

As Mikey mentioned, setting the NO_PROXY works for me, however it is not via export, but I have to do it inside the karma.conf.js file for Karma to pick this env variable up.

process.env.NO_PROXY = 'localhost, 0.0.0.0/4201, 0.0.0.0/9876'; process.env.no_proxy = 'localhost, 0.0.0.0/4201, 0.0.0.0/9876';

Hopefully it helps some hopeless ppl like me for a day....

Answer 2

I was executing the command on the visual studio code terminal. When I switched to iTerm suddenly it worked.

Answer 3

this worked for me:

1) install puppeteer

npm install puppeteer --save-dev

2) add this code to karma conf at the very top of your module exports function:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
process.env.CHROME_BIN = puppeteer.executablePath();

3) disable chrome sandbox:

browsers: ['ChromeHeadlessCI'],
customLaunchers: {
    ChromeHeadlessCI: {
        base: 'ChromeHeadless',
        flags: ['--no-sandbox']
    }
}

Answer 4

Apparently karma files got corrupted, that's what helped me:

1. delete node_modules folder completely.
2. run npm install
