Unable to inject controller to Karma test

I have spent hours trying to set up unit testing on an existing angularjs code base. I believe I have pinned the issue down to a single oddity in our code compared to the suggested implementation from angular's docs.

We instantiate our module with var app= angular.module(...) whereas examples I have found use angular.module(...). Would this require me to reference the module differently in the beforeEach shown below?

Sample.spec.js:

describe('myController', function() {

  beforeEach(module('app'));  

  describe('tests', function() {
    var scope, controller;


    it('should define controller', inject(function($controller) {
      scope = {};
      controller = $controller('ticketDetailController', { $scope: scope });
      expect(controller).toBeDefined();
    }));

  });
});

app.js

var app = angular.module('app', [
    'ngRoute',
    'ui.bootstrap',
    'ui.tinymce',
    'ngResource',
    'ngCookies',
    ...
]);

karma.conf.js:

//jshint strict: false
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({

    basePath: './',

    files: [  
      'Scripts/angular.min.js',
      'Scripts/angular-mocks.js',       
      'Scripts/angular-route.min.js',
      'Scripts/angular-resource.js',
      'Scripts/angular-cookies.min.js',
      'Scripts/ui-sortable.js',
      'app/directives/adapt/adapt.js',
      'Scripts/angular-strap.min.js',    
      'app/app.js',
      'app/controllers/myController.js',
      'app/tests/Sample.spec.js',
      'Scripts/jquery.min.js',
      'tinymce/tinymce.min.js',      
      'Scripts/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.4.0.js',
      'tinymce/jquery.tinymce.min.js'      
    ],

    autoWatch: true,

    frameworks: ['jasmine'],

    browsers: ['PhantomJS'],

    logLevel: config.LOG_DEBUG,

    plugins: [
      'karma-phantomjs-launcher',
      'karma-jasmine',
      'karma-junit-reporter',
      'phantomjs-polyfill'
    ],

    reporters: ['progress']

  });
};

Thank you very much for the help. I have hit a wall with this one.
