How to pass argument from grunt job to karma-runner

Question

I am using grunt-karma to run a unit test package. I need to find the value from a grunt task and then pass the value to karma for use in tests.

The Grunt task doing the search:

  grunt.registerMultiTask('lookup', 'Lookup value', function() {
        var value = 5; // just hard code here for now

I need to pass the value to the grunt-karma job as defined:

        karma: {
          options: {
            configFile: 'karma.conf.js'
          },

Can I use grunt.config to pass karma runner value?

var value = 5; //just hardcode here for now
...
grunt.config("karma.customParam",value);

And how can I get the value from the test specs?

I know this answer is too late. But I hope this helps someone.

karma: {
  options: {
    configFile: 'karma.conf.js',
    client: {
      args: ['test']
    }
  },

In the test spec, you can get the values as shown below

window.__karma__.config.args[0]  // 'test'

Thank.
