Karma launcher errors if no plugin is defined for a detected browser

[GreenGremlin]

My Karma config plugins look like this:

        plugins: [
            'karma-webpack',
            'karma-jasmine',
            'karma-mocha-reporter',
            'karma-chrome-launcher',
            'karma-firefox-launcher',
            'karma-detect-browsers',
            'karma-sourcemap-loader',
        ]

On a Mac, when Safari is detected, karma fails with the following message.

27 03 2018 15:15:49.888:ERROR [launcher]: Cannot load browser "Safari": it is not registered! Perhaps you are missing some plugin?

I see commit message 4fbb4f7 indicates that Karma doesn't require all plugins to be configured, but that is not what I'm seeing with [email protected].

Afaik if you use the plugins array in the config then you have to add all the plugins. Or you can remove the plugins configuration and then karma takes care of. Maybe you can check this.

If you don't define the plugins array, how is karma-detect-browsers loaded?

frameworks: ['detectBrowsers']

Any updates on this? Having the same issue with Chrome. Seems logical that you would want to limit testing to specific browsers and not have it dependent on the machine that its running on.
