Selenium With AngularJS and Karma

---

Run AngularJS tests with Karma on the TestMu AI cloud grid. This guide covers setup, running a sample test, configuring capabilities, and testing locally hosted pages.

Deprecated Framework

AngularJS reached end-of-life in December 2021. Consider migrating to Angular with Karma or Playwright. This guide is maintained for existing users.

Prerequisites

---

Complete these steps before running AngularJS tests with Karma on TestMu AI.

1. Create a TestMu AI account and get your username and access key from the dashboard.
2. Install NodeJS v6 or newer from nodejs.org.
3. Install npm and upgrade to the latest version: npm install npm@latest -g
4. Install Angular CLI: npm install -g @angular/cli
5. Download Selenium JavaScript bindings from the official website.

Step 1: Clone the Sample Project

---

Clone the TestMu AI AngularJS Karma sample repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/angular-karma-sample
cd angular-karma-sample

Install the required dependencies:

npm install

Step 2: Set Your Credentials

---

Set your TestMu AI username and access key as environment variables.

macOS / Linux

export LT_USERNAME="undefined"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Windows

set LT_USERNAME="undefined"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"

Step 3: Configure Your Test Capabilities

---

Update the capabilities in the karma.conf.js file to define the browser and platform settings.

customLaunchers: {
        chrome: {
             base: 'WebDriver',
             config: webdriverConfig,
             browserName: 'chrome',
             platform: 'windows 10',
             version: '71.0',
             name: 'Karma With Heartbeat',
             tunnel: true, // In case karma is running on local machine
             video: true, // capture video for your test
             user: process.env.LT_USERNAME,
             accessKey: process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY,
             pseudoActivityInterval: 15000 // 15000 ms heartbeat to avoid timeouts
        }
    }

tip

Generate capabilities for your test requirements with the Capabilities Generator.

Step 4: Run the Test

---

Execute the test using the following command.

karma start karma.conf.js

Or run the test using:

npm test

Parallel tests:

ng test

Step 5: View Your Results

---

After running the test, view your results on the TestMu AI Automation Dashboard.

The dashboard provides:

• Video recordings of each test session
• Screenshots captured at each step
• Console logs from the browser
• Network logs for debugging
• Detailed command logs

Run AngularJS with Karma Tests Using Agent Skills

---

Use AI coding assistants to generate and run AngularJS with Karma tests with the TestMu AI Agent Skill.

The karma-skill is part of TestMu AI Agent Skills - structured packages that teach AI coding assistants how to write production-grade test automation.

Install the skill:

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills.git
cp -r agent-skills/karma-skill .claude/skills/

# For Cursor / Copilot
cp -r agent-skills/karma-skill .cursor/skills/

tip

Install all available framework skills at once by cloning the repository directly into your tool's skills directory (e.g., .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/).
