A CircleCI CI/CD pipeline handling an Angular 7 application fails during the test step, with the CircleCI log suggesting the browser is not registered, although it runs once and it works!
I'm building a CircleCI CI/CD pipeline for an Angular 7 application that includes a test step which fails in a strange way. I've tried to change the karma.config.js parameters, to use Puppeteer, to no avail.
This is part of the WUF open source project, I'm working on the WUF-41-CI branch. Below are the details:
The CircleCI config.yml file:
version: 2.0
# Acceptance Criteria
#
# Given a feature branch of WUF
# When it changes on GitHub
# Then its code is built and tested but not published
#
# Given origin/master of WUF
# When it changes on GitHub
# Then its code is built, tested, tagged and the packages pushed to NPM, and the project’s Git pages
jobs:

Is this the same issue as Chrome 73 stop supporting headless mode in background scheduled task?
If it is, it should work to downgrade to Chrome 72.
