Testing AngularJS using Jasmine

Question

I'm trying to test my angular project and keep falling at the first hurdle. By just instantiating my module without even testing anything karma is throwing an error.

If I do include an it statement karma gives me an error saying 'Error: [$injector:modulerr]'. I'm using ngRoute in my project and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.

Here's my code, any suggestions on what could be wrong would be much appreciated.

angular.module('MyApp', ['ngRoute'])
.controller('HomeCtrl', ['loadArtists', function(loadArtists){
    var self = this;
    self.homeArtistsArray = [];
    self.homeArtistsArray = loadArtists; 
}])

-

describe('Practice', function(){
 beforeEach(module('MyApp'));
 var ctrl;
 beforeEach(inject(function($controller){
    ctrl = $controller('HomeCtrl');
 }))
 it('should do nothing',function(){
 }) 
});

-

files: [
    'jquery-1.11.3.min.js',
    'angular.js',
    'angular-mocks.js',
    'js/app.js',
    'js/appControllers.js',
    'js/appFactory.js',
    'js/testFile.js'
],

If ngRoute is the problem could you suggest somewhere to download it from.

You need to add angular-route.js to your karma configuration.

BTW, when debugging, you should use the not-minified angular.js file, so you get a full debug message with the error (here, modulerr).
