Karma settings for Project testing using TAP

This project is not a full starting point repository, only cover boilerplate settings related to test. Don't opinionated on build, lint or any other topic relate to projects development.

Setting Karma with many plugins it is a time consuming process, many hours of trial and error.

• karma, the test runner.
• karma-tap, karma TAP adapter.
• karma-tap-pretty-reporter cause everyone need a nice output. See supported prettifiers
• tape for test harness on node and browsers.
• tap-lochness for nested TAP test.
• karma browser launchers karma-chrome-launcher, karma-jsdom-launcher, ...
• webpack and karma-webpack

• When we test code on browsers at the end we will need bundle sources, test files and assets. Other solutions can be use like browserify. We opinionated on webpack
• When Hot Module Replacement (HMR) is needed, webpack is the way to go.
• On Karma autowatch mode, for a good performance, a robust cache and rebuild solution is needed, webpack is best on this apart.

If your project tests need

• browsers launch/switch/management
• file bundle
• file watch mode

Karma will provide it!
