angulartics: unit tests fail when adding angulartics

I use karma for unit tests and I added angulartics… I changed nothing on my tests… I load this files in karma.conf.js:

  'public/assets/components/angular/*.min.js',
  'public/assets/components/angular-translate/angular-translate.min.js', // load in right order
  'public/assets/components/angular-*/*.min.js',
  'public/assets/components/angulartics/src/angulartics.js',
  'public/assets/components/angulartics/src/angulartics-ga.js',
  'public/assets/javascripts/app/app.js',

And the strange thing is, that I don’t get a specific error just 1 test FAILED with this message:

Some of your tests did a full page reload!

When I comment out the failing test, another one fails saying the same error message… I have no clue what is happening there… I use spyOn($location, 'path'); in some of my tests, has that something to do with it?

+1, $analyticsProvider.firstPageview(false);

Works great, I was getting Error: “Define sp” and this was causing further errors . This happens because we added a script block “var sp = …some… function();” in index.html for angulartics.splunk and when karma runs unit test this becomes undefined and that was causing whole test to fail. Adding just a sp variable in unit test under describe works great even I don’t need turn off firstPageview.

Thanks everyone for the discussion this helped a lot to find and fix my issue.

Thanks, it solved my issue too

/* Angulartics configuration */
app.config(function ($analyticsProvider) {
    // turns off to avoid automatic tracking in unit tests
    $analyticsProvider.firstPageview(false);
});
