Javascript – Karma Webpack sourcemaps not working

angularjavascriptkarma-webpackwebpack

I'm using Karma-Webpack to run my Angular 2 specs.

https://github.com/webpack/karma-webpack

When I execute tests using karma in Chrome, the source files for my specs appear readable in the debugger. However, the system under test files (my application source) is unreadable.

I'm using the karma-sourcemap-loader and have devtool set to 'inline-source-map' as instructed. What could be causing this problem?

This build is modeled after the AngularClass angular2-webpack-starter.

The issue comes from the istanbul-instrumenter-loader.

One solution is to configure karma and webpack to skip code coverage instrumentation when running tests in watch mode.

Based on the latest version in the angular2-webpack-starter repo, you can modify the following 2 files:

karma.conf.js

/**
 * @author: @AngularClass
 */

const autowatch = process.env.npm_lifecycle_script.indexOf('--auto-watch') !== -1;

module.exports = function(config) {
  var testWebpackConfig = require('./webpack.test.js')({env: 'test'});

  var configuration = {

    // base path that will be used to resolve all patterns (e.g. files, exclude)
    basePath: '',

    /*
     * Frameworks to use
     *
     * available frameworks: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-adapter
     */
    frameworks: ['jasmine'],

    // list of files to exclude
    exclude: [ ],

    /*
     * list of files / patterns to load in the browser
     *
     * we are building the test environment in ./spec-bundle.js
     */
    files: [ { pattern: './config/spec-bundle.js', watched: false } ],

    /*
     * preprocess matching files before serving them to the browser
     * available preprocessors: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-preprocessor
     */
    // skip coverage in watch mode
    preprocessors: { './config/spec-bundle.js': autowatch ? ['webpack', 'sourcemap'] : ['coverage', 'webpack', 'sourcemap'] },

    // Webpack Config at ./webpack.test.js
    webpack: testWebpackConfig,

    // Webpack please don't spam the console when running in karma!
    webpackServer: { noInfo: true },

    /*

     * available reporters: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-reporter
     */
    reporters: [ 'mocha'],

    // web server port
    port: 9876,

    // enable / disable colors in the output (reporters and logs)
    colors: true,

    /*

     */
    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,

     */
    singleRun: true
  };

  if (process.env.TRAVIS){
    configuration.browsers = ['ChromeTravisCi'];
  }

  // skip coverage in watch mode
