No provider for "framework:jasmine"! (Resolving: framework:jasmine)

I had the same error after creating a new project the yeoman angular generator (yo angular).

The solution for me was adding "karma-jasmine" to the devDependencies in packages.json and running "npm install" again.

npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev

This solved the error message "No provider for “framework:jasmine”!"

I also had to add a karma browser launcher to the devDependencies, as I got the message that no launcher was installed (see http://karma-runner.github.io/0.10/config/browsers.html).

npm install karma-safari-launcher --save-dev

My packages.json looked like this after my action:

{
  "name": "test1",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "~0.4.1",

  },

  }
}

I changed the following line in karma.conf en karma-e2e.conf to use the karma-safari-launcher:

browsers: ['Safari'],

I hope this will work for you, too.

As @Taco said, the default solution for this problem is installing the appropriate plugin, like this: npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev or this: npm install karma-mocha --save-dev.

However, this error is also expected when you are running an old version of karma-cli because they updated the way karma loads the plugins. To make sure you have the latest version, run this:

npm install -g karma-cli

My problem was in my karma.config.js file:

plugins: [require("karma-webpack")]

This caused the other karma-* plugins not to be loaded, which includes karma-jasmine.
