jasmine-jquery isn't finding an element in my fixture file - jasmine

Question

I'm trying to do UI testing with jasmine-jquery. I'm using karma as my test runner and jasmine as my testing framework. I think I've loaded the fixture successfully and jasmine-jquery is listed as a testing framework inside my karma configuration.
However I'm unable to find an element in the DOM using jasmine-jquery. Why?
Directory structure
base
spec
javascripts
fixtures
myfixture.html
karma.conf.js
tests
settingUpHTMLFixtures.test.js
myfixture.html
<div id="my-fixture">foo bar</div>
settingUpHTMLFixtures.test.js
jasmine.getFixtures().fixturesPath = 'base/spec/javascripts/fixtures';
loadFixtures('myfixture.html');
describe('testing out jasmine-jquery', function(){
it('can find an element in the dom using jasmine-jquery', function(){
expect($j('#my-fixture')).toBeInDOM();
})
})
karma.conf.js
const webpackConfig = require('./webpack.config.js');
module.exports = function(config) {
config.set({
basePath: "",
files: ["tests/**/*.test.js", 'spec/javascripts/fixtures/*.html'],
frameworks: ['jasmine-jquery', 'jasmine', 'jasmine-matchers'],
preprocessors: {
"tests/**/*.test.js": ["webpack"]
},
webpack: webpackConfig,
plugins : [
'karma-chrome-launcher',
'karma-jasmine',
'karma-jasmine-jquery',
'karma-jasmine-matchers',
'karma-webpack',
'karma-jasmine-html-reporter'
],
logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
reporters: ['kjhtml'],
port: 9876,
browsers: ["Chrome"],
//...
});
};
At the moment I'm just getting the message that the test failed, which is
testing out jasmine-jquery can find an element in the dom using jasmine-jquery FAILED
Expected jQuery({ context: HTMLNode, selector: '#my-fixture' }) to be in d o m.

Answer 1

I had a path error. It was a mistake to create the base directory on my own. Karma simply serves everything from the base directory.
The only time I needed to use the word base was when setting the fixtures path (as shown in my settingUpHTMLFixtures.test.js code above)
