gulp karma issue browser never start -

i have node 4.4.3 npm 3.8.6 protractor: 3.2.2 installed globally gulp 3.9.1 installed globally , locally link

package.json

"devdependencies": {         "connect": "3.4.1",         "gulp-load-plugins": "1.2.0",         "gulp-protractor": "2.1.0",         "serve-static": "1.10.2",         "karma":"0.13.22",         "karma-chrome-launcher": "0.2.3",         "karma-jasmine": "0.3.8"     } 

gulpfile.js

var  server = require('karma').server;  gulp.task('test3', function (done) { server.start({         configfile: __dirname + '/karma.conf.js'      }, done); }); 

when run task feedback

[11:10:03] starting 'test3'...  21 04 2016 11:10:04.008:warn [karma]: no captured browser, open http://localhost:9876/  21 04 2016 11:10:04.016:info [karma]: karma v0.13.22 server started @ http://localhost:9876/ 

then waits forever

when run task "old" way:

 var karma = require('karma').server;     var karmaconf = require('./karma.conf.js')();     karma.start(karmaconf, done); 

it works fine

i have correctly configured karma.conf.js. thanks

ok found karma.conf.js this

module.exports = function () {     return {...}; }; 

and made changes make this

module.exports = function (config) {     config.set( { .... 

this made work
