I have an index.html that imports my dependencies and runs mocha, as I would without karma. It is a full HTML document with <head>, <body>, etc.

At the end of the file:

<div id="mocha"></div>

<script>mocha.setup('bdd')</script>
<script src="./myMochaTests.js"></script>
<script>mocha.run()</script>

When I serve this, eg via python -m http.server 8888 and then navigate to localhost:8888, I see my mocha tests passing.

Can I keep this same centralized index.html setup when using karma-mocha? All the examples I have found suggest I need to either only use .js files, or I need to use the html2js preprocessor to convert my HTML to a string and then stick it somewhere via window.__html__.

Is there a way to just serve a vanilla mocha index.html and see if tests fail? Or am I misunderstanding how karma works?

I've been looking for exactly the same answer. Would be good to hear from someone on the karma-mocha team what the right way to do this is. I need my build index.html vs. only the .js test files.

@srsudar you misunderstand how karma works. Karma replaces mocha's index.html.
A good place to start is - https://karma-runner.github.io/2.0/index.html
also, I recommend watching this video by Vojta Jína - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mHjJ4xf_K0
and read this document

@maksimr that's helpful, thanks. I know I was confused about this as well, given that Mocha lets you create your own HTML to host your tests.
