karma-kickoff

Kick off karma with ease along with running specific specs with one config file.

Example:

gulp = require 'gulp'
{log} = require 'gulp-util'
_ = require 'lodash'
karmaKick = require 'karma-kickoff'
argv = require('yargs').argv

opts =
  configFile: '../../karma.conf.coffee'
  logFn: log

gulp.task 'karma', (done) ->
  karmaKick done, _.extend {}, opts,
    reporters:['dots', 'coverage']
    singleRun: true

gulp.task 'karmaMocha', (done) ->
  karmaKick(done, opts)

gulp.task 'karmaFiles', (done) ->
  karmaKick done, _.extend {}, opts,
    appendFiles: argv.files
    lengthToPop: 2
    singleRun: true

where karma.conf.coffee or js had:

....
files: [
      'node_modules/phantomjs-polyfill/bind-polyfill.js'
      require.resolve('stripe-debug')#https://github.com/bendrucker/angular-stripe/issues/23
      '_public/scripts/vendor.js'
      '_public/styles/vendor.css'
      'frontend/**/scripts/**/*.coffee'
      'spec/fixtures/*.html'
      'spec/fixtures/*.json'
      'spec/frontend/bootstrap.spec.coffee'
      {pattern:'frontend/**/*coffee', included: false}
      {pattern:'common/**/*coffee', included: false}
      {pattern:'spec/**/*coffee', included: false}
      # 'spec/common/**/*spec.coffee'
      'spec/frontend/**/*spec.coffee'
    ]

The karmaFiles task is the important example here as testing single or multiple files is easy. Via the appendFiles and lengthToPop options.

So to test a specific spec: gulp karmaFiles --files=./spec/frontend/map/providers/providers.onboarding.spec.coffee
