using multiple test frameworks simultaneously

[marco]

Hi, is it possible to use two or more test frameworks and have karma run the tests for all of them?

Specifically I want to run QUnit and Jasmine tests. I have the following in my config:
   ...
   frameworks: ['jasmine', 'qunit'],
   ...

Unfortunately, Karma runs only the Jasmine tests. If I change the order of the 2 frameworks in the config, Karma only runs the QUnit tests.

Thanks,
marco

Currently it is not - these adapters are not designed to work together.

In theory it is possible - Karma needs to support multiple "start" methods. That's simple, the __karma__.start can be an array rather than a function.

Then, it has to "merge" multiple calls to complete.

Why do you need this ? Isn't having two configs - separate Karma projects sufficient ? (eg. karma-jasmine.conf.js and karma-qunit.conf.js)

Thanks for your answer!

I need this in a bigger project where I'm about to setup karma as javascript unit testing framework. There are already a couple of jasmine tests as well as qunit tests. My goal was to create a new Jenkins build job that continuously runs all the js unit tests and provides an aggregated view of the test results. Since the karma configuration allows for multiple frameworks to be specified, I assumed that this was possible. Why does the "frameworks" configuration section accept an array? Are there any efforts to support multiple frameworks in a single karma configuration in the near future? I would really like to see that :-)

I guess until then, I'll go for two separate configurations - and unfortunately two separate Jenkins jobs.

It's an array, because there are other "frameworks" that people can use (not just testing frameworks), for instance "requirejs", so one can do:

frameworks: ['jasmine', 'requirejs']

I'm not against supporting multiple testing frameworks at the same time, but it's not a high priority for me.

You can have two Karma projects (configs), but run them both as a single Jenkins job.

You might also try something similar to https://github.com/vojtajina/karma-jstd and step by step migrate to Jasmine...
