Using Karma/ with CircleCI
At Distill we began using AngularJS, and went with Testacular/Karma for our testing needs. To get this working on CircleCI, I played around with circle.yml file a little bit and came up with this:
test:
pre:
- npm install -g karma
- nohup bash -c "karma start spec/javascripts/testacular.conf.js &"
override:
- bundle exec rspec spec
- karma runThe downside here is that the npm install -g karma step added almost 30 seconds to the total test suite. It's possible there might be ways to speed this up using caching between runs, but I haven't gotten around to looking into this yet.

Installing dependencies as Karma should be installed in dependencies section.
To avoid installing karma each time, juste add cache section in dependencies section.
Ex of circle.yml :
dependencies:
pre:
- npm install -g karma
cache_directories:
- ~/nvm
./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start --single-run --browsers PhantomJS

AngularJS pages are long-lived browser apps with the same script risk as a newer single-page app. Third-party code in the template can read forms and values rendered on the page.
