karma-vinyl-streams Build Status

Use gulp plugins instead of Karma preprocessors

Install

npm install --save-dev karma-vinyl-streams

Example config

var gulpPlugin1 = require('gulp-plugin1');
var gulpPlugin2 = require('gulp-plugin2');

module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        frameworks: ['jasmine', 'vinyl-streams'],

        files: [
            'src/*.js'
        ],

        browsers: ['PhantomJS'],

        vinylStreams: function (src, dest) {
            src('**/*.js')
                .pipe(gulpPlugin1())
                .pipe(gulpPlugin2())
                .pipe(dest());
        }
    });
};

The vinylStreams config function API

Your config function is called with a src function and a dest function each time Karma's file list is modified. They work a lot like gulp.src and gulp.dest, only instead of reading from and writing to disk, they provide access to and modify Karma's file list.

src([pattern])

Create a stream of Karma files, optionally matching pattern. If pattern is omitted, it defaults to **/*. The pattern is resolved against Karma's basePath.

src([readableStream])

Sneak some files Karma doesn't know about into Karma. Useful if, say, you wanted to use Browserify or something. It's your responsibility to ensure the stream contains Vinyl file objects before it's piped to dest.

src.modified([pattern])

Create a stream of Karma files that have been modified (changed or added) since the last run. Same pattern rules apply as with src.

dest()

Commit a stream's contents back to Karma's file list. This must be called once for each src, or you'll be in big, big trouble.

Differences from gulp

Each pipeline (the chain of pipes between src and dest calls) is executed serially. That is, unlike gulp, which will kick off each stream immediately when you ask for it and run them concurrently, karma-vinyl-streams will pause each stream until previous ones have finished executing.

Also, src will not load arbitrary files from the filesystem; they must be specified in Karma's files config. Or you can pipe in your own stream of files to src.

Recipes

browserify

See the browserify integration test for an example config.

Sourcemaps with karma-source-map-support and gulp-sourcemaps

'Cause not having real line numbers is a drag.

Note that this doesn't work in PhantomJS, sadly. See phantomjs/12289.

var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');

module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        frameworks: ['jasmine', 'vinyl-streams', 'source-map-support'],

        browsers: ['Chrome'],

        vinylStreams: function (src, dest) {
            src()
                .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
                .pipe(/* plugins with sourcemap support */)
                .pipe(sourcemaps.write({sourceRoot: __dirname}))
                .pipe(dest());
        }
    });
};
