is there any way set karma options in the js plugin? I found the declaration of KarmaConfig which has all the options, unfortunately the Karma’s config property is private. Id like to do use chrome headless in a test (which is run in a container) as explained here https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/chrome#sandboxing
It seems like the translation into gradle.kts would be the following (but does not work because config is private)

karma { 
    config.customLaunchers["ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox"] = CustomLauncher("ChromeHeadless").apply { flags.add("--no-sandbox") }
}

You can write additional js scripts in karma.config.d directory

[patrickdelconte]

could you point me to some documentation on how to go about it?

[turansky]

This feature is undocumented as I know

[patrickdelconte]

what do I put inside karma.config.d? The same file as documented here? http://karma-runner.github.io/4.0/config/configuration-file.html

[patrickdelconte]

or is it some special format?

[turansky]

You can use config variable for manipulation

[turansky]

Valid example

config.basePath = '../..'

[patrickdelconte]

ok. what is the name of the file inside karma.conf.d directory?

[turansky]

All scripts will be applied

[turansky]

js extension required

[patrickdelconte]

thanks it worked

[turansky]

Do you need --no-sandbox in your case?

[patrickdelconte]

yes

[patrickdelconte]

I am testing inside a docker container in gitlab

[turansky]

Custom docker container?

[turansky]

With limited user you won’t need this flag

[patrickdelconte]

I know, it even says so before it crashes. I’m using gradle’s image as a base and add node and chrome headless on top. The image is not setup to work as any user.

[patrickdelconte]

you encouraged me to look into it again. It turns out gradle’s base image does set up a non-privileged user (called ‘gradle’) but it does not use it. When I switch to the unprivileged user by inserting USER gradle at the end of my Dockerfile it leads to a crash on my mac (apparently a bug in docker) but it works on gitlab ci. Now I don’t need the --no-sandbox workaround after all.

[patrickdelconte]

Regardless of my unsound use-case, it would be nice if useConfigDirectory() and its default value karma.config.d were documented

This doesn’t seem to work because useBrowser is private and I’m not able to define the custom launcher.

[steamstreet]

I’m using CodeBuild (AWS), and this requires the -no-sandbox option.

[steamstreet]

I set this up, and it seems to be using it:

module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        browsers: ['ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox'],
        customLaunchers: {
            ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox: {
                base: 'ChromeHeadless',
                flags: ['--no-sandbox']
            }

        }
    });
};

[steamstreet]

but I don’t see how to reference the ChromeHeadlessNoSandbox launcher. When I try to run, I get No browsers configured for task ':client:jsBrowserTest'

[steamstreet]

but everything worth configuring is private in the Karma configuration

[steamstreet]

And yes, I do need this option. This is the default for CodeBuild, and I’m not going to make custom Docker images for a simple build.
