unit testing - AngularJS Karma Jasmine Error: Cannot Read Property of Undefined -

this first attempt @ using karma/jasmine. want use test angularjs app.

this simple hello world test make sure things working not.

i trying test controller called inboxcontroller. have defined scope variable: $scope.greeting = 'hello world'.

i trying test in separate file called controllers-test.js.

this test:

'use strict'; 

describe('controllers tests ', function () {

describe('inboxcontroller', function () {     var scope;      beforeeach(angular.mock.module('myapp'));      beforeeach(angular.mock.inject(function($rootscope, $controller){         scope = $rootscope.$new();         $controller('inboxcontroller', {$scope: scope});      }));      it('should return hello world', function () {         expect(scope.greeting).tobe('hello world');     }); }); 

});

i keep getting error:

cannot read property 'greeting' of undefined, relates scope.greeting in test code.

karma config:

files : [              'bower_components/angular/angular.js',             'bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',             'bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js',             'app.js',             'js/*.js',             'test/*.js'              ], 

inboxcontroller:

app.controller('inboxcontroller', function($rootscope, $scope,     $location, inboxservice) {  $scope.greeting = 'hello world';  $rootscope.loggedin = true;  // load inbox $scope.loadinbox = function() {      $scope.emails = inboxservice.getmessages().success(function(jsondata) {          $scope.emails = jsondata;     }); }  // delete email $scope.delete = function (id) {     inboxservice.delete(id).success(function() {          $scope.loadinbox();     }); };  $scope.loadinbox(); 

});

solved issue myself. needed reference angular dependencies in karma config file:

files : [              'bower_components/angular/angular.js',             'bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.js',             'bower_components/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.js',             'bower_components/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.js',             'bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap.js',             'bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js',             'bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',             'bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js',             'app.js',             'js/*.js',             'test/*.js'              ], 

it important 1 comes first:

bower_components/angular/angular.js
