karma-dart

Adapter for the Dart unittest testing framework.

For more information on Karma-runner see the homepage.

Getting Started

npm install karma@canary-dart
npm install karma-dart@canary

and that you have the following dependencies in your pubspec.yaml

unittest: any
browser: any
js: any

The following is an example of karma config.

basePath = '.';
frameworks = ['dart-unittest'];

// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
// all tests must be 'included', but all other libraries must be 'server' and
// optionally 'watched' only.
files = [
  'test*.dart',
  {pattern: '**/*.dart', watched: false, included: false, served: true},
  'packages/browser/dart.js'
];

autoWatch = true;

// If browser does not capture in given timeout [ms], kill it
captureTimeout = 5000;

plugins = [
  'karma-dart'
]

You can run karma locally:

node node_modules/karma/bin/karma start karma-dart.conf

Known Limitations/Issues

• Each test file must be a library -- due to the nature of the test runner, this is required.
• When Dart syntax error is encountered, karma might get stuck until captureTimeout. There is no way to work around this until https://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=5958
