UI Router Extras breaks my unit tests with unexpected results error?

QUESTION:

- Why are my tests failing when ui-router-extras (not normal ui-router) is install?

- How can I use ui-router-extras and still have my tests pass?

---

If you want to install this quickly use yeoman + angular-fullstack-generator + bower install ui-router-extras

I found a similar issue with normal ui-router.

• Luckially, ui-router normal works just fine with my testing.


• After installing ui-router-extras I get an ERROR

If I uninstall ui-router.extras it this test passes just fine:

Heres my test:

'use strict';
describe('Controller: MainCtrl', function () {

  // load the controller's module
  beforeEach(module('morningharwoodApp'));
  beforeEach(module('socketMock'));

  var MainCtrl,
      scope,
      $httpBackend;

  // Initialize the controller and a mock scope
  beforeEach(inject(function (_$httpBackend_, $controller, $rootScope) {
    $httpBackend = _$httpBackend_;
    $httpBackend.expectGET('/api/things')
      .respond(['HTML5 Boilerplate', 'AngularJS', 'Karma', 'Express']);

    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    MainCtrl = $controller('MainCtrl', {
      $scope: scope
    });
  }));

  it('should attach a list of things to the scope', function () {
    $httpBackend.flush();
    expect(scope.someThings.length).toBe(4);
  });
});

Here's my karma.conf

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    // base path, that will be used to resolve files and exclude
    basePath: '',
