browserify/karma/angular.js "TypeError: Cannot read property '$injector' of null" when second test uses "angular.mock.inject", "currentSpec" is null -

i have angular.js app , experimenting using browserify. app works, want run tests too, have 2 jasmine tests run karma. user browserify give me access angular.js , angular-mocks.js , other test fixtures within tests.

versions are:-

"angular": "^1.4.0", "angular-mocks": "^1.4.0", "browserify": "^10.2.3", "karma": "^0.12.32", "karma-browserify": "^4.2.1", "karma-chrome-launcher": "^0.1.12", "karma-coffee-preprocessor": "^0.2.1", "karma-jasmine": "^0.3.5", "karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^0.1.4", 

if run tests individually (by commenting 1 or other karma.conf file) both work ok. (yey!)

but if run them both error

    typeerror: cannot read property '$injector' of null     @ object.workfn (/tmp/3efdb16f2047e981872d82fd8db9c0a8.browserify:2272:22 <- node_modules/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js:2271:0) 

looking @ line 2271 of angular.mocks.js reads

if (currentspec.$injector) { 

so currentspec somehow null.

i have isolated problem when call "angular.mock.inject" in second test.

beforeeach(angular.mock.inject(function (_gridutilservice_) {   gridutilservice = _gridutilservice_; })); 

if comment out works, can't run test n gridutilservice.

does know how run 2 (or more :-) angular-mock jasmine tests karma , browserify?

below tests, karma.conf file. angular services work when deployed purpose can dumb services nothing.

karma.conf:-

// karma configuration  module.exports = function(config) {   config.set({      // base path used resolve patterns (eg. files, exclude)     basepath: '',      // frameworks use     // available frameworks: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-adapter     frameworks: ['browserify', 'jasmine'],      // list of files / patterns load in browser     files: [       'src/main/assets/js/**/*.js', //      'src/test/**/*.js'       'src/test/services/settingutil*.js',       'src/test/services/gridutil*.js'     ],       // list of files exclude     exclude: [         'src/main/assets/js/**/app-config.js'     ],       // preprocess matching files before serving them browser     // available preprocessors: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-preprocessor     preprocessors: {       'src/main/assets/js/**/*.js': ['browserify'],       'src/test/**/*.js': ['browserify']     },      browserify: {         debug: true,         extensions: ['.js', '.coffee', '.hbs']     },      // test results reporter use     // possible values: 'dots', 'progress'     // available reporters: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-reporter     reporters: ['progress'],      // web server port     port: 9876,      // enable / disable colors in output (reporters , logs)     colors: true,      // level of logging     // possible values: config.log_disable || config.log_error || config.log_warn || config.log_info || config.log_debug     loglevel: config.log_debug,      // enable / disable watching file , executing tests whenever file changes     autowatch: true,      // start these browsers     // available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher //    browsers: ['phantomjs', 'chrome'], //    browsers: ['phantomjs'],     browsers: ['chrome'],      // continuous integration mode     // if true, karma captures browsers, runs tests , exits     singlerun: false   }); };

if need access angular setup can provide (split multiple files using browserify's require() function , built gulp... app runs ok , tests fail when there 2 tests, think issue karma-jasmine , angular-mocks or overwriting currentspec variable.

if knows how split angular tests multiple tests (i don't want monolithic angular test) without error message appreciated. thanks.

i had same issue, issue me because requiring angular , angular-mocks inside each describe block. moved 2 lines

require('angular'); require('angular-mocks'); 

above describe blocks , made sure call them once.
