command line I/F

[koba04]

Currently, karma doesn't export karma command.
You recommend to install karma-cli locally to the project in case of npm test.
This is why It's for separation of concerns. #1078 #1322

But, some documents describe using ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma now.

https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/blob/master/docs/plus/02-travis.md
https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/blob/master/docs/plus/04-semaphore.md

In addition, karma-cli specifies the preferGlobal.
https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-cli/blob/master/package.json#L41

I feel that there is no consistency.

Solution

1. Export karma command and treats karma-cli as just global command I/F. (+1)
2. Remove bin/karma from this repository and remove the preferGlobal from karma-cli.

Thank you.

but running ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start xx.js does work. so having the bin/karma makes sense.

I would prefer to keep bin/karma and add this to the bin object within karma's package.json. This would mean that in my package.json scripts.test i could write write karma start xx.js.

I agree with @peter-mouland.
I hope bin/karma is specified in package.json's bin field.

This will be fixed with #1078
