cant get junit running with Karma - junit

Question

I have installed the npm package karma-junit-reporter at version 2.0.1.
my karma.conf.js file is :
// Karma configuration file, see link for more information
// https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/config/configuration-file.html
module.exports = function (config) {
config.set({
basePath: '',
frameworks: ['jasmine', '#angular-devkit/build-angular'],
plugins: [
require('karma-jasmine'),
require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
require('karma-jasmine-html-reporter'),
require('karma-junit-reporter'),
require('karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter'),
require('#angular-devkit/build-angular/plugins/karma')
],
client: {
clearContext: false, // leave Jasmine Spec Runner output visible in browser
captureConsole: true
},
coverageIstanbulReporter: {
dir: require('path').join(__dirname, './coverage/ClientApp'),
reports: ['html', 'lcovonly', 'text-summary'],
fixWebpackSourcePaths: true
},
reporters: ['progress', 'kjhtml', 'junit'],
port: 9876,
colors: true,
logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
autoWatch: true,
browsers: ['Chrome'],
singleRun: false,
restartOnFileChange: true,
// the default configuration
junitReporter: {
outputDir: 'test', // results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName.xml
outputFile: 'junit.xml', // if included, results will be saved as $outputDir/$browserName/$outputFile
//suite: '', // suite will become the package name attribute in xml testsuite element
//useBrowserName: false, // add browser name to report and classes names
//nameFormatter: undefined, // function (browser, result) to customize the name attribute in xml testcase element
//classNameFormatter: undefined, // function (browser, result) to customize the classname attribute in xml testcase element
//properties: {}, // key value pair of properties to add to the <properties> section of the report
//xmlVersion: null // use '1' if reporting to be per SonarQube 6.2 XML format
}
});
};
When I run:
ng test --reporters junit
I receive the following error:
can not load reporter "junit", it is not registered! Perhaps you are missing some plugin?
[karma]: No captured browser, open http://localhost:9876/

Ok. I found the answer by chance. Really weird, but this worked. I needed to explicitly mention the config file :
ng test --karma-config=karma.conf.js --reporters junit
it now works even though I was running the ng test command from the same directory as my karma.conf.js file
