No provider for "framework:jasmine"! (Resolving: framework:jasmine)

Question

When I run the command grunt I get the following warning:

Running "karma:unit" (karma) task
Warning: No provider for "framework:jasmine"! (Resolving: framework:jasmine) Use --force to continue.

Does anybody know how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same error after creating a new project the yeoman angular generator (yo angular).

The solution for me was adding "karma-jasmine" to the devDependencies in packages.json and running "npm install" again.

npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev

This solved the error message "No provider for “framework:jasmine”!"

I also had to add a karma browser launcher to the devDependencies, as I got the message that no launcher was installed (see http://karma-runner.github.io/0.10/config/browsers.html).

npm install karma-safari-launcher --save-dev

My packages.json looked like this after my action:

{
  "name": "test1",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.1",
    "grunt-autoprefixer": "~0.4.0",

    "karma-safari-launcher": "~0.1.1",
    "karma-ng-html2js-preprocessor": "^0.1.0"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=0.8.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "grunt test"
  }
}

I changed the following line in karma.conf en karma-e2e.conf to use the karma-safari-launcher:

browsers: ['Safari'],

I hope this will work for you, too.
