Karma: Jasmine installed, but Karma throws no provider error

[pjlasl]

When I attempt to start a config file, I am presented with the error message "no provider for "framework:jasmine"!.

Here are the steps I took to install karma:
I created a folder called C:\Karma
npm install karma --save-dev
npm install karma-jasmine karma-chrome-launcher --save-dev
npm install -g karma-cli

I verified that the folder contains the following
node_modules\karma
node_modules\karma-chrome-launcher
node_modules\karma-jasmine
node_modules\jasmine-core

My config file is in another directory so I navigate there and type
karma start karma-fw.conf.js

At this point I am presented with the framework error

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

@pjlasl can you post your config file?

Thanks

The bizarre thing about all this is that a co-worker of mine is using it without a hitch...

@pjlasl Thanks!

What structure of the project?(where located karma.conf and node_modules, and where you run karma start)

Can you run karma in verbose mode karma start --log-level=DEBUG.
Seems karma can't find project node_modules.

@pjlasl any updates? Is this still an issue?

[pjlasl]

@Dignifiedquire Sorry for the delayed reply. It is working. I had to load karma and all supporting tools where my project resided to get it to work properly.

I struggled with the exact same problem. After investigating I realized that karma was running globally using '/usr/' directory as the base folder.

A solution that worked for me was to replace karma with karma-cli:
npm remove -g karma
npm install -g karma-cli
