"mocha": "~1.20.1"

my npm version is 2.2.0

whay am I getting this when I run karma test - karma start my.conf.js

Solution

  • I was having this issue with an older version of node, too. If you don't want to have to hard-code this environment variable, updating your version of node will solve the problem. Just do the following (OSX instructions):

    npm uninstall -g phantomjs
npm cache clean -f
brew upgrade nodejs
rm -rf node_modules
npm install -g YOUR_GLOBAL_DEPENDENCIES
npm install

    Edit: updated instructions to make sure there is no global phantomjs dependency
