Angular - Karma–Chromeless tests fail with ERROR - Disconnected, because no message in 10000 ms.

After switching from PhantomJs to Chrome in headless mode for our Angular tests, our tests started to behave flaky with sometimes success and sometimes failure. When the tests failed, we saw the following error message in the logs:

[32m28 08 2018 10:41:44.851:INFO [HeadlessChrome 68.0.3440 (Windows 7.0.0)]: [39mConnected on socket W4CI4bKonF845CKZAAAA with id 22875346

To fix it, we changed the default Karma settings to a more fault tolerant configuration.Therefore we opened up the karma.conf.js file and added the following 2 settings:

  • browserDisconnectTolerance: 2, // maximum number of tries a browser will attempt in the case of a disconnection
  • browserNoActivityTimeout: 50000, // How long will Karma wait for a message from a browser before disconnecting from it (in ms).

Here is our complete karma.conf.js file:

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
