Karma: Chrome have not captured in 5000 ms

[lc3t35]

MacOS X 10.8.4, node v0.10.12, karma 0.9.4, Chrome 28.0.1500.71

In order to investigate on the problem submitted here (https://github.com/xolvio/real-time-development-with-meteor/issues/17) , i've installed the karma source and run the tests.

imac-de-laurent:karma laurent$ git checkout v0.9.4

Chrome is launched ,but it says he cannot open http://localhost:9876/?id=15999490.

if i open the page with another browser (Firefox), the page opens -> it's related to Chrome ....

[lc3t35]

The version of karma we use is 0.8.6, so i tryed this too

Oops another problem !

[vojtajina]

Install Karma from NPM npm install karma or npm install -g karma.

If you really wanna use the master from github, you need to do grunt build, check out http://karma-runner.github.io/0.8/dev/contributing.html

[lc3t35]

Of course i did a grunt build ! and previously the install was done with npm that's why i jumped into the master.
Please reopen the issue :)

[vojtajina]

@lc3t35 Are you having this issue with Karma installed from NPM ?

[vojtajina]

Also, can you check out the console in the browser ? Is there any error ?

[lc3t35]

Let's deal first with karma 0.9.4 and the initial Chrome problem : karma was installed from npm (v 0.8.6) , the problem is the same with grunt test on version 0.9.4.
There is no error in the browser's console : difficult to catch because Chrome is quickly closed but with Command - Option - J, i succeeded to display it, nothing is displayed there.
Chrome works fine otherwise : it can access to Internet web sites, if i run a locahost server on port 3000, i can access to the local server.

[vojtajina]

@lc3t35 I think you are still describing using karma from a git repo, in which case you can init your workspace with ./scripts/init-dev-env.js.

[lc3t35]

Here is the log of the 3 commands : init, build, test

[vojtajina]

Weird, it looks like you might have some proxy set up for Chrome, resp. on a system level (Chrome is started with a clean profile so it should not have any proxies set, however it does use proxy settings from OS; I believe Firefox does not respect OS proxy settings).

Is Chrome GUI starting ? What's going on there in the browser ?

[lc3t35]

Yep, Chrome GUI is starting, it tryes to open http://localhost:9876/?id=3318198 3 times, and then is killed as shown in the log.
I already looked into Chrome's preferences to search for a proxy setting, but i found nothing relevant :(
If i run a local server on localhost:9876, Chrome can open the page with localhost:9876, so it's not a problem of used port, localhost denied access, ...
If i run a local server on localhost:9876, keep it running and run grunt test, karma is launched on port 9878, and Chrome cannot open localhost:9878/..., but it can access to localhost:9876 !
If i run grunt test, and try with Safari to access to karma, i can see Karma v0.9.4 in green, and the log shows

EBUG [karma]: New browser has connected on socket VpkgU-TASu8tDUzWFytC
INFO [Safari 6.0.5 (Mac OS X 10.8.4)]: Connected on socket id VpkgU-TASu8tDUzWFytC
WARN [launcher]: Chrome have not captured in 10000 ms, killing.
DEBUG [launcher]: Process Chrome exitted with code 0

But it fails to access in Chrome.
What a nightmare !

[vojtajina]

What can you see in the browser ? Is it still loading something ? Check out
the status bar.

Check out OS proxy settings, Chrome uses that.

[lc3t35]

here is a screencopy (sorry it's in french)

[vojtajina]

The request is not hitting Karma. Proxy is the only thing that comes to my mind. Or firewall.

[lc3t35]

A firewall would block also a request from FF or Safari.
In order to get more information and be sure that there is no proxy, I modified node_modules/karma-chrome-launcher/index.js

return [
      '--user-data-dir=' + this._tempDir,
      '--no-default-browser-check',
      '--no-first-run',
      '--disable-default-apps',
      '--start-maximized',
      '--enable-logging',
      '--v=1',
      '--no-proxy-server'
    ].concat(flags, [url]);

I run grunt test and this launches Chrome in debug mode and no-proxy

DEBUG [launcher]: /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome --user-data-dir=/var/folders/mg/27j371qn68943s9ych8g50jm0000gp/T/karma-64901747 --no-default-browser-check --no-first-run --disable-default-apps --start-maximized --enable-logging --v=1 --no-proxy-server http://localhost:9876/?id=64901747

in /Users//Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/chrome_debug.log i have only these lines, related to the 3 opening Chrome instances :

OMG ! I've checked the /etc/hosts file and it was corrupted (a previous user has edited the file and saved it as RTF file, so a lot of garbage instead a clean expected TXT) -> fix it by erasing the bad hosts with good "hosts~orig" file -> Chrome can now access to localhost.

thanks to http://superuser.com/questions/559950/cannot-resolve-localhost-on-mac-os-mountain-lion

[durp]

I was able to solve this problem by changing the karma.conf.js to use a different port than the default 8080. No need to muck with the /etc/hosts file.

// web server port
// port = 8080;
port = 9876;

[chaosim]

@durp: I met this issue just now, I have closed many windows services before, after suspecting that and tried by reopening them,but I failed, and then I try your solution, it works for me. Thanks.

[dougjohnston]

Thanks @lc3t35, your solution was just what I needed. I had a malformed /etc/hosts file (just an extra comma where it didn't belong), but it would've taken me a long time to find on my own. Thanks!

[nathvarun]

Thanks @lc3t35, your solution worked !
