Karma Webpack

Use webpack to preprocess files in karma

Install

npm i -D karma-webpack

Usage

// Karma configuration
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    // ... normal karma configuration
    files: [
      // all files ending in "_test"
      {pattern: 'test/*_test.js', watched: false},
      {pattern: 'test/**/*_test.js', watched: false}
      // each file acts as entry point for the webpack configuration
    ],

    preprocessors: {
      // add webpack as preprocessor
      'test/*_test.js': ['webpack'],
      'test/**/*_test.js': ['webpack']
    },

    webpack: {
      // karma watches the test entry points
      // (you don't need to specify the entry option)
      // webpack watches dependencies

      // webpack configuration
    },

    webpackMiddleware: {
      // webpack-dev-middleware configuration
      // i. e.
      stats: 'errors-only'
    }
  });
};

Alternative Usage

This configuration is more performant, but you cannot run single test anymore (only the complete suite).

The above configuration generates a webpack bundle for each test. For many testcases this can result in many big files. The alterative configuration creates a single bundle with all testcases.

files: [
  // only specify one entry point
  // and require all tests in there
  'test/test_index.js'
],

preprocessors: {
  // add webpack as preprocessor
  'test/test_index.js': ['webpack']
},
// test/test_index.js

// require all modules ending in "_test" from the
// current directory and all subdirectories
var testsContext = require.context(".", true, /_test$/);
testsContext.keys().forEach(testsContext);

Every test file is required using the require.context and compiled with webpack into one test bundle.

Source Maps

You can use the karma-sourcemap-loader to get the source maps generated for your test bundle.

npm install --save-dev karma-sourcemap-loader

And then add it to your preprocessors

preprocessors: {
  'test/test_index.js': ['webpack', 'sourcemap']
}

And tell webpack to generate sourcemaps

webpack: {
  // ...
  devtool: 'inline-source-map'
}

Options

This is the full list of options you can specify in your Karma config.

webpack

Webpack configuration.

webpackMiddleware

Configuration for webpack-dev-middleware.

beforeMiddleware

beforeMiddleware is a webpack option that allows injecting middleware before karama's own middleware are run. This loader provides a webpackBlocker middleware that will block tests from running until code recompiles. That is, given this scenario:

  1. Have a browser open on the karma debug page (http://localhost:9876/debug.html)
  2. Make a code change
  3. Refresh

Without the webpackBlocker middleware karma will serve files from before the code change. With the webpackBlocker middleware the loader will not serve the files until the code has finished recompiling.

Note that the beforeMiddleware option is only supported in karma with version >1.0.
