How to make karma work with a webpack, Angular2, and SASS project?


I am using angular2-webpack-starter and I have my stylesheets as SASS. Everything is working perfectly, but when I try to run karma tests it fails giving me this error

ERROR in ./src/app/widgets/message/messages.scss
Module parse failed: d:\ui_widgets-A2\src\app\widgets\message\messages.scss Unexpected token (6:22)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

I tried to install karma-sass-preprocessor and karma-scss-preprocessor but nothing seems to work. What should I do?


Solution

  • So the answer is pretty trivial, I had

    {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        loaders: ['raw-loader', 'sass-loader']
      }
    

    in my webpack.common.js and for some reason I thought that webpack.test.js was getting it as well, but as it turns out I should have also added it to webpack.test.js
