"No provider error" on Karma serve running angularjs phonecat tutorial

Question

I have found and tried many solutions offered here and elsewhere: re downgrading karma version upgrading node and npm - changing order of load in the config file.... but so far nothing works. Is the problem that I am running the angular tutorial via Apache?

Starting Karma Server (http://karma-runner.github.io)

Answer 1

You have to install jasmine:

    npm install -g karma-jasmine

Answer 2

The selected answer didn´t work for me, this is what it work for me:

https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/880

Karma needs to load the plugins (such as karma-jasmine). By default (if you don't specify config.plugins), Karma loads all the karma-* modules that are siblings to Karma.

It sounds like you have Karma installed globally (npm install -g karma) and jasmine plugin locally (npm install karma-jasmine). If that's the case, install Karma locally.

The recomended way is to install Karma and all the plugins locally, per project.

Answer 3

as per the documentation following plugins are required. // these plugins will be require() by Karma 'karma-jasmine', 'karma-chrome-launcher'

So add these two to your plugin section.
