Error: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded

I ran into this error when using karma. I followed the instructions here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular-dart/hYY8WN_5OQc

I wasn't sure if this was a known issue or something to do with my config. I'm running karma with requirejs, mocha, and coverage. Let me know if you need more details or if this is part of another plugin.

This has actually been fixed in nodejs itself. See
nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#7338 and nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#7356

This problem still happens to us when test are running on a Jenkins PR builder slave. We are using karma-phantomjs-launcher v0.1.4.

Running "karma:ci" (karma) task
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.12.24 server started at [...]
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser PhantomJS
Fatal error: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded�

Any ideas?

Just had the same issue ... did

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

and everything suddenly worked. (make sure your package.json contains all dependencies before doing this)

Hope this helps.

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Worked for me too! Thanks!
