Jasmine mock promise resolve not being handled when called in controller construtor

In my controller constructor, a lot of the private variables are set as the result of a promise returned from a service.

For example, this will be called when the controller is being constructed.

MyService
    .initializeDataForType(type)
    .then(function (data) {
        //never getting hit
    });

And the service call is mocked to return a resolved promise like so.

var myService = jasmine.createSpyObj('page.MyService', [
    'initializeDataForType'
]);

beforeEach(inject(function ($controller, _$q_) {
    myService.initializeDataForType.and.callFake(function (type) {
        var deferred = _$q_.defer();
        deferred.resolve({});
        return deferred.promise;
    });

    target = $controller('page.MyController', {
        'page.MyService': MyService
    });
}));

The then() method for the service call is never being reached. It seems that jasmine isn't waiting and moving on to the next test.
