ng test Environment "undefined" does not exist.

[samartioli]

Upgraded to Angular 5.1.2 today as well as to Angular CLI 1.6.3

When I try and run my tests I get the error: Environment "undefined" does not exist.

I can get it to work by providing -e dev, but didn't have to before.

Repro steps

Environment "undefined" does not exist.

If I run with ng test -e dev my tests run

Desired behavior

Should default to dev as it did previously.

This seems like a bug but we'll need to look at a reproduction to find and fix the problem. Can you setup a minimal repro please?

You can read here why this is needed. A good way to make a minimal repro is to create a new app via ng new repro-app and adding the minimum possible code to show the problem. Then you can push this repository to github and link it here.

It's very hard to tell what your project looks like from the information you provided... but if I had to bet it has to do with karma.conf.js. Using the karma config from a new project could help:

// Karma configuration file, see link for more information
// https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/config/configuration-file.html

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    basePath: '',
    frameworks: ['jasmine', '@angular/cli'],
    plugins: [
      require('karma-jasmine'),
      require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
      require('karma-jasmine-html-reporter'),
      require('karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter'),
      require('@angular/cli/plugins/karma')
    ],
    client:{
      clearContext: false // leave Jasmine Spec Runner output visible in browser
    },
    coverageIstanbulReporter: {
      reports: [ 'html', 'lcovonly' ],
      fixWebpackSourcePaths: true
    },
    angularCli: {
      environment: 'dev'
    },
    reporters: ['progress', 'kjhtml'],
    port: 9876,
    colors: true,
    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
    autoWatch: true,
    browsers: ['Chrome'],
    singleRun: false
  });
};

this seems similar to #9058

Hi Sam, I get the same issue with my project

ng test
Environment "undefined" does not exist.

I've copied the following files from a newly created (boilerplate) repo where dev is accessible and the error is not happening (filip..all the following files are a new repo):-
.angular-cli.json
tsconfig.json
karma.conf.js
src/test.ts
src/main.ts

Still get the error. Filip, if I go any deeper I'm in my components, classes etc.. surely this error would be quite high in the code ? Any help and sanity appreciated

filip, the bug seems to be something todo with karma and @angular/cli the following block is ignored by karma earlier versions:-

angularCli: { environment: 'helloWorld' },

the environment error went away when I upgraded karma to v.1.7.1

npm install [email protected]
