TypeError when running karma in singleRun:false and aggregating reporters about karma-parallel

[ben8p]

same here...

After adding some debug info, I see the following flow:

onRunStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onRunStart
Reporter :  undefined total   undefined passed   undefined failed   undefined skipped
onRunComplete
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart
onBrowserStart

@ben8p Thanks for the contribution!

I'm trying to understand karma's lifecycle a bit better. Perhaps I am missing something or perhaps karma is a little inconsistent with itself: It appears this is the lifecycle of events for a karma reporter

x = number of browsers
y = number of tests

1. 1 onRunStart (this is where I initialize that object)
2. x onBrowserStart
3. y onSpecComplete
4. x onBrowserComplete
5. 1 onRunComplete (this is where I clear that object)

If watching / using TDD, I would expect that if I change a file, I would start over at onRunStart, not starting with onBrowserStart. But if your fix does indeed fix this issue, then perhaps karma is not very consistent by not calling onRunStart for sequential runs.

What do you think?

[ben8p]

Well,
I have the feeling it has to do with a file changed between step 1 and step 2.
When I look at Nyan cat reporter I see it restart multiple times (and all aborted instance are saying "undefined" instead of the number of tests.
There's probably a sort of life cycle optimization built in karma...
As far as I tested the fix has not side effects...

@joeljeske will you consider merging the PR ? Do you need more inputs ?

[abeymg]

I am running into this issue as well. @joeljeske Can this PR be merged (assuming it fixes the issue) ?

[ben8p]

@abeymg maybe you can try the modified code locally and confirm it also fixes the issue you're having?
It is only one single line to change.

[abeymg]

@joeljeske @ben8p I did that and can confirm that it fixed the issue for me.
