karma-background
Why?
When using karma within gulp, if you want to programmatically call the karma runner while a server is already started, it ouputs all the logs twice. In grunt-karma they got around this by spawning the karma server as a background process.
This module is not a gulp plugin, all it does is spawn karma in a background process in the same fashion as the grunt-karma plugin.
example
Since I wrote this specifically to be used with gulp, the following example is a gulpfile! You can also look at the gulpfile within this directory.
var gulp = require('gulp');
var karma = require('karma');
var kbg = require('karma-background');
var configFile = __dirname + '/karma.conf.js';
// do a single run per usual
gulp.task('karma', function (done) {
new karma.Server({
configFile: karmaPath,
singleRun: true
}, done).start();
});
// call the runner
gulp.task('karma:run', function (done) {
karma.runner.run({
configFile: configFile
}, done);
});
// create a watch task that launches a background process
gulp.task('watch', function () {
kbg({ configFile: configFile });
gulp.watch('./**.js', ['karma:run']);
});
