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:

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
