Staging a component for testing

Question

Executing the app and loading views with @useview('resources/panels/data-table-panel.html') works, but running a component test fails. Caused by 404 html-file not found.

By changing the path to @useview('src/resources/panels/data-table-panel.html') the component can be staged, which the leads to a 404 if the app gets started later by serving it with gulp.

Does anybody have an idea how to workaround this problem? thx

I never tried the jspm skeleton. It's quite outdated, I recommend you to create a new project with latest aurelia-cli, then migrate source and test over.

Speaking about the code itself, you can switch the absolute path to relative path:

@useview('../path/to/resources/panels/data-table-panel.html')

This should work. Relative path bypasses karma config on those absolute module resolution.

I don't quite understand why the karma.config has following:

paths: {
          "*": "*",
          "src/*": "src/*",

I thought it probably should be

paths: {
          "*": "src/*",

Then you have to remove all src/ prefix, like .withResources('resources/...').
