Karma doesnt respects the capture timeout for IE

[rzio]

I have trying to execute tests in 3 browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE). The capture timeout is set to the default value (60000).

When I run Karma, it claims that Explorer have failed to start even before Chrome and Firefox were opened.

Here is a log example:
INFO [karma]: Karma server started at http://localhost:9876/
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Chrome
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Firefox
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser IE
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

INFO [launcher]: Trying to start IE again.
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

INFO [launcher]: Trying to start IE again.
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

Closed by mistake

The problem is IE_BIN points by default to Program Files\something and that does not start the browser, instead it forks a new process with Program File (x86)\something and therefore the first process immediately exits.

Karma thinks it crashed (as it exited before capturing) and therefore starts it again.

I'm closing this, as it is duplicate of #369 Also, see #429
If you think it's not the same issue, feel free to re-open.

Hi,
I have the same issue.
OS: Win 7 x 64
Karma: v0.9.3
Grunt:grunt-cli v0.1.9
grunt v0.4.1

I am getting error below:

WARN [config]: "/" is proxied, you should probably change urlRoot to avoid conflicts
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.9.3 server started at http://localhost:9876/

INFO [launcher]: Trying to start IE again.
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

INFO [launcher]: Trying to start IE again.
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

INFO [launcher]: Trying to start IE again.
ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start IE

I set the path to IE_BIN to C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
http://localhost is added to Local Intranet zone and Protected mode is disabled.
The issue is still happening.
Please advise
