angular Failed to instantiate module myModule issue


I am configuring my Karma amd mocha framework with grunt in my project. When I am running karma start I am getting below mentioned error.

Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module myModule due to: Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'myModule' is not available!

My controller:

(function () {

    var module = angular.module('myModule',[]);

    module.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $q, $rootScope, templateValuesSrv) {
        function() {
          var self = this;

          self.firstName = '';
          self.lastName = '';

          self.getFullName = function() {
            return self.firstName + ' ' + self.lastName;
          };

          return self;
        }
    });
})();

My Controller Spec:

describe('myCtrl', function() {
  beforeEach(module('myModule'));

  describe('getFullName()', function() {
    it('should handle names correctly', inject(function($controller) {
      var myController = $controller('myCtrl');

      myController.firstName = 'George';
      myController.lastName = 'Harrison';

      myController.getFullName().should.equal('George Harrison');
    }));
  });
});

My Karma.conf.js

// Karma configuration

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({

    basePath: '',

    colors: true,


    // level of logging

    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,


    // enable / disable watching file and executing tests whenever any file changes
    autoWatch: true,


    // start these browsers
    // available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher
    browsers: ['PhantomJS', 'Chrome'],


    // Continuous Integration mode
    // if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
    singleRun: false,

    // Concurrency level
    // how many browser should be started simultanous
    concurrency: Infinity
  })
}

Please suggest what I am missing.


Solution

  • Before the specs you should add the js files that you want to test. // Karma conf

       files: [
          'bower_components/angular/angular.js',
          'bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
          'src/**/*.js',
          'test/specs/*.js',
          //'test/*.js'
        ],
    

    If you use a bundler like webpackt or bower then you could require then on each spec
