PhantomJS doesn't feel well (You need to include some adapter that implements karma.start method!) #1545

albertosantini · 2015-08-05T09:08:03Z

On Travis CI with 0.13.6 I get with Node.js (with io.js it is ok) the following message:

You need to include some adapter that implements karma.start method!

Locally it is ok.

Reference:

P.S.: Locally on Windows 10 box.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I get the same error locally, and so far I have figured out that it works with Chrome, but fails on headless phantomjs. Version 0.13.4 works fine.

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T09:20:24Z

@arty-name what node version are you running, and what phantomjs-launcher and phantomjs version?

arty-name · 2015-08-05T09:22:51Z

@dignifiedquire,
Ubuntu 15.04 x64
node --version
v0.12.7
"karma-phantomjs-launcher": "0.2.0"
"phantomjs": "1.9.17"

coderbyheart · 2015-08-05T12:20:15Z

Same problem here (0.13.4 works):
Debian 8.1
node v0.12.7
karma-phantomjs-launcher@0.2.0
phantomjs@1.9.17

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T13:00:34Z

Does anyone see this issue consistently, or just sometimes? Because on travis I was able to get rid of the issue after the fifth test run or so. (Which doesn't give me any more ideas as to what the actual problem is :( )

@coderbyheart @arty-name any public code I could look at?

It looks like I am facing similar problem. I am trying to setup Karma, Mocha, Chai and PhantomJS but I keep receiving this error:

Same issue here,
node: 0.12.7
karma: 0.13.6
karma-phantomjs-launcher: 0.2.0

Just noticed the issue, my test ran and eveything worked as expected the first time (singleRun: true, autoWatch: false). Then I ran them a second time and I couldn't get it to work again since. I get this error too:

 PhantomJS 1.9.8 (Linux 0.0.0) ERROR
 You need to include some adapter that implements __karma__.start method

However I didn't get the issue yet when i am using karma with (singleRun: false, autoWatch: true), does anyone have ?

arty-name · 2015-08-05T13:17:43Z

@dignifiedquire, I was getting this error quite reliably, but the code is not public, sorry

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T14:10:00Z

Okay, I need some more details from you guys please, as I still can't reproduce this anywhere on my machines, could you please install the latest karma-phantomjs-launcher@0.2.1 and use the debugger as described here, set karma log level to debug and let me know what the output on the console, as well as in the opened debuger in the log is please.

kketch · 2015-08-05T14:32:24Z

I'll try to debug using this asap. Also I'm using karma-mocha v0.1.10, maybe it's relevant ? I assume you don't ?

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T14:36:24Z

No, but I just tried with karma-mocha@0.1.10 it was working fine with it for me

arty-name · 2015-08-05T14:41:18Z

So I have tried the debug configuration and as soon as I put debug: true in it starts working fine. I comment the debug: true out, and it fails again.

Config:

{
    logLevel: 'DEBUG',
    browsers: ['PhantomJS_custom'],
    customLaunchers: {
        'PhantomJS_custom': {
            base: 'PhantomJS',
            options: {
                windowName: 'my-window',
                settings: {
                    webSecurityEnabled: false
                }
            },
            flags: ['--load-images=true'],
            //debug: true
        }
    },

    phantomjsLauncher: {
        // Have phantomjs exit if a ResourceError is encountered (useful if karma exits without killing phantom)
        exitOnResourceError: true
    }
}

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T14:46:48Z

So I have tried the debug configuration and as soon as I put debug: true in it starts working fine. I comment the debug: true out, and it fails again.

Okay, that might actually help me :) it looks like this issue is a race condition due to the changes I made in 96e33dc

Let's see if I can fix that

Closes karma-runner#1545

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T15:02:28Z

Okay, so please try out this pr #1546, you can install it by running

$ cd node_modules
$ rm -rf karma
$ git clone https://github.com/Dignifiedquire/karma
$ git checkout 1545-race-agains-phantom
$ npm i
$ npm i -g grunt-cli # If you don't already have grunt installed
$ grunt build
$ cd ../..

kketch · 2015-08-05T15:18:32Z

Seems to work for me

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T15:21:10Z

Seems to work for me

:) I'll wait for one more confirm and then release it

kketch · 2015-08-05T15:24:00Z

Though for some reasons, I had to git clone your fork, checkout your branch instead of using npm install. The 'client' folder is missing with npm install and as a result static/karma.js is an 'empty' build when I follow your steps

dignifiedquire · 2015-08-05T15:31:32Z

@kketch thanks, I had some typo in the npm install command I think, I've updated the installation details to use git, to ensure it works

coderbyheart · 2015-08-05T15:44:35Z

In my case it doesn't run the tests anymore with your karma version.

@coderbyheart I experimented the same behavior, and this was because I installed karma through npm install, in this case you may have a failed build of static/karma.js like me. Follow the updated steps above (using git clone instead of npm install) and I think you should be fine.

coderbyheart · 2015-08-05T15:53:29Z

For me it looks quite similar to @arty-name's debug output. But it might be related to our use of systemjs.

I'm getting this error with karma 0.13.19, OSX 10.10.5, with a very simple karma.conf.js and a very simple test file.

  });
}

dignifiedquire · 2016-01-26T17:20:51Z

@mhintz you need to include a testing framework like mocha, jasmine or qunit, that's what the error is about.

Aha, thanks! I had been including the karma-unexpected plugin, but that looks like it's terribly outdated. I'm working on a fork now.
