Does not have real error messages by misconfiguration

[ghost]

I got "empty test suite" by a misconfiguration. The problem was that I added a non-include file pattern before the inclusion pattern of main.js, and that pattern contained the main.js as well. You should mention this in the error message or at least in the documentation.

By 404 "there is not timestamp" errors you should mention that every used file must be added to karma file patterns. Is there any way to add every project file automatically and just select a main.js to load the tests? Why does karma need those non-include file patterns?

See karma-runner/karma#853 - that should avoid your troubles with main.js.

Karma needs to know about the files because of file watching and heavy caching.

Please feel free to improve the docs, the source is in https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/tree/master/docs

I'll summarize my thoughts about this here: karma-runner/karma#888
