I have tried reinstalling Karma and associated modules. Explicitly installing karma-jasmine didn’t seem to work (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19185548/no-provider-error-on-karma-serve-running-angularjs-phonecat-tutorial).

I had the same problem. Adding ‘karma-jasmine’, ‘karma-chrome-launcher’ in the plugins fixed it.

  plugins : [
        require('karma-webpack'),
        'karma-jasmine',
        'karma-chrome-launcher'
    ]

Yes removed global karma then installed karma-cli globally. thereafter i installed karma local to project and then runned karma.

npm uninstall karma -g
npm install karma-cli -g
npm install karma --save-dev
grunt karma test -v Still getting “Warning: No provider for “framework:jasmine”! (Resolving: framework:jasmine)”. Please help.

Thanks

@garora Try remove global karma and install karma-cli global. Then install karma local to the project and run karma.

Thanks

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.

I resolved this problem with this conf:

frameworks: ['jasmine'],
plugins: [
    require("karma-jasmine"),
 ]

by the way, i also get:

{ Error: Cannot find module 'PhantomJS'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:469:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:417:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:497:17)...

with:

browsers: ['PhantomJS'],

and I also resolved this problem with:

plugins: [
   require("karma-phantomjs-launcher")
],

maybe this will help somebody.
