I'm using tsify, a plugin for browserify, to transpile my code during karma unit tests.
I get this sort of erro when I run my tests:
TypeScript error: src/app/emailLogin/emailLogin.component.ts(14,14): Error TS1219: Experimental support for decorators is a feature that is subject to change in a future release. Set the 'experimentalDecorators' option to remove this warning.
How do enable experimentalDecorators in browserify/tsify, which are specified in my karma.config.js
Here is my karma.config.js:
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
browsers: ['Chrome'],
frameworks: ['jasmine', 'browserify', 'es6-shim'],
files: [
'src/**/*.spec.ts'
],
preprocessors: {
'**/*.ts': ['browserify']
},
browserify: {
debug: true,
plugin: ['tsify'],
transform: ['browserify-shim']
}
});
};
Here is my gulp file (I think this doesn't matter)
var gulp = require('gulp');
var Server = require('karma').Server;
/**
* Run test once and exit
*/
gulp.task('test', function (done) {
new Server({
configFile: __dirname + '/karma.conf.js',
singleRun: true
}, done).start();
});
/**
* Watch for file changes and re-run tests on each change
*/
gulp.task('tdd', function (done) {
new Server({
configFile: __dirname + '/karma.conf.js'
}, done).start();
});
gulp.task('default', ['tdd']);
There are two compiler options that relate to decorators:
--emitDecoratorMetadata
--experimentalDecorators
Typically, they would be enabled in your project's tsconfig.json
file (tsify
will search for and load the tsconfig.json
):
{
"compilerOptions": {
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"target": "es5"
},
"files": []
}
If, for some reason, you are not using a tsconfig.json
file, they can be enabled in the browserify
plugin's configuration in Karma (note the array within the array):
browserify: {
debug: true,
plugin: [['tsify', {
emitDecoratorMetadata: true,
experimentalDecorators: true
}]],
transform: ['browserify-shim']
}
And they can be enabled via the command line, too:
browserify -p [tsify --emitDecoratorMetadata --experimentalDecorators] main.ts > bundle.js
