i need this to run test angular2 project in teamcity.
now, i cannot test project in teamcity untill this problem solution.

To get this working:
Modify your karma.conf.js in local project setup and add './node_modules/web-animations-js/web-animations.min.js' to the files section.

This solution does not resolve issue in phantomjs - just a work around to get karma test to pass without the error described in the above 2 comments.

Example:

    files: [
      './node_modules/intl/locale-data/jsonp/en-US.js',
      './node_modules/web-animations-js/web-animations.min.js',
      { pattern: './src/test.ts', watched: false }
    ],

@kevinkray

Not working for me. Why should that solve the problem?

See
https://github.com/Maistho/karma-web-animations-phantomjs/tree/kevinkray-solution

[kevinkray]

@Maistho the above fix would only be for the karma.config.js file in the local projects that use PhantomJS and animation polyfill that are described by @julrod092 and @Lyoko-Jeremie .

[hevans90]

@kevinkray

Your fix also does not work for me, can you explain why this should solve the problem/offer any other advice?

I am using "web-animations-js": "^2.2.2" & "phantomjs-prebuilt": "^2.1.14"
I have the exact error described by everyone above.

Pinning web-animations-js to 2.1.5 appears to get around this issue for me.

[mscudlik]

I pretty much had the same issue as described her when i updated angular cli to 1.0.0 and angular to 4.0.1 today.

This is the solution i came up with, which seems to work so i wanted to briefly how i managed to solve it.

I created a new project with angular cli and saw that the polyfill.ts template has changed:

/**
 * This file includes polyfills needed by Angular and is loaded before the app.
 * You can add your own extra polyfills to this file.
 *
 * This file is divided into 2 sections:
 *   1. Browser polyfills. These are applied before loading ZoneJS and are sorted by browsers.
 *   2. Application imports. Files imported after ZoneJS that should be loaded before your main
 *      file.
 *
 * The current setup is for so-called "evergreen" browsers; the last versions of browsers that
 * automatically update themselves. This includes Safari >= 10, Chrome >= 55 (including Opera),
 * Edge >= 13 on the desktop, and iOS 10 and Chrome on mobile.
 *
 * Learn more in https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/browser-support.html

as you can see there is a new entry for web-animations which i uncommented (as well as most of the other polyfills):

Afterwards i removed the web-animations from my script section in .angular-cli.json

Then all my tests ran already, besides the one where the component actually uses animations.
To solve this, i import the NoopAnimationsModule and it works :)

import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';

import { NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { animationPlayerFactory } from './animation-player.factory';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

describe('AppComponent', () => {
  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      import: [
        NoopAnimationsModule
      ],
      declarations: [
        AppComponent
      ],
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  // tests...

});

This pretty much solved the problem. Now for me it would be interesting if this also works for you and if you think thus is a "proper" solution.

Thanks and best regards,
Matthias

@mscu Huh. I could actually make it work just by reordering my polyfills, importing web-animations before zonejs. I guess it makes sense since zonejs patches some browser APIs. 😕

Thanks for the info anyway!

[josephliccini]

@Maistho re-ordering I think has worked for me too. still verifying but it is working in many of the cases so far.

[josephliccini]

Re-ordering the imports to import web-animations-js before zone.js worked for me.

[Robouste]

for me, web-animations-js was already declared before zone.js but still not working.

mscu's solution did the trick for me. I think importing NoopAnimationsModule is the key (which makes sense)

[testpossessed]

I had the same issue and what fixed it for me was changing the order of my imports. I have a couple of custom modules that rely on animations through Angular Material originally I had something like this

imports: [
....,
NoopAnimationsModule,
MyModule1,
MyModule2
]

None of the other solutions worked, but moving NoopAnimationsModule import to the bottom of the list, solved the problem for me

imports: [
....,
MyModule1,
MyModule2,
NoopAnimationsModule
]

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
