Error: No provider for "framework:pact" - npm

Question

I am trying to use pactJS and to generate pacts.
I am using karma / jasmine to run my tests..
Below is my package.json
{
"name": "andriod-pact",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "This is a microservice that is one of the two consumers of
the provider microservice",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"jasmine": "^2.6.0",
"karma": "^1.7.0",
"karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^1.0.4",
"pact": "^2.6.0"
}
}
And this is my karma.conf file
// Karma configuration
// Generated on Tue Jul 25 2017 15:32:06 GMT+0200 (W. Europe Daylight Time)
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
// base path that will be used to resolve all patterns (eg. files, exclude)
basePath: '',
// frameworks to use
// available frameworks: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-adapter
frameworks: ['jasmine', 'pact'],
// list of files / patterns to load in the browser
files: [
'../../dist/pact-web.js',
'src/test/js/*.js'
],
// list of files to exclude
exclude: [
],
// preprocess matching files before serving them to the browser
// available preprocessors: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-preprocessor
preprocessors: {
},
// test results reporter to 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 the output (reporters and 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_INFO,
// enable / disable watching file and executing tests whenever any file changes
autoWatch: true,
// start these browsers
// available browser launchers: https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/karma-launcher
browsers: ['PhantomJS_without_security'],
customLaunchers: {
PhantomJS_without_security: {
base: 'PhantomJS',
flags: ['--web-security=no']
}
},
// Continuous Integration mode
// if true, Karma captures browsers, runs the tests and exits
singleRun: false,
// Concurrency level
// how many browser should be started simultaneous
concurrency: Infinity
})
}
But when I run my tests using karma start karma.conf
I get this error

If someone can point me to the obvious problem...

You're missing the karma-pact plugin, it does not come by default with the standard pact dependency.
See https://github.com/pact-foundation/karma-pact.
