Karma+Jasmine tests not running with Chrome, "Executed 0 of 0 ERROR"

Question

I'm trying to test my project angular 5 with jasmine and karma but it show me this error:

myProject\Front\src\app> ng test
Your global Angular CLI version (7.0.3) is greater than your local
version (1.7.4). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".

and this is my karma.conf.js :

    config.set({

}

and this the interface in Google Chrome:

I'm just a beginner 😄 and I'm not sure if those informations are enough. I tried a lot of solutions that I found but always the same problem. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

This is a result of an incompatibility with newer versions of Chrome (failing for me with version 70) and the newest version of jasmine (3.3.0). The short term workaround is to lock your jasmine-core version to 3.2.0.
