Try:

beforeEach(module('myApp'));

instead of:

beforeEach(module('myapp.controllers'));

Thanks for that. Annoyed with the blog post that told me to write the other >.< –  A T Dec 22 '13 at 7:08
    
Ha! I didn't notice that. –  blesh Dec 22 '13 at 16:36

I'm just guessing here, as I don't have Phantom to run on Linux... but $scope is expected to be a Scope object.

Try injecting $rootScope, and either use that, or create a $new() child scope from it:

beforeEach(inject(function($controller, $rootScope) {
    //get controller from $controller provider
    scope = $rootScope.$new(); 
    ctrl = $controller('IndexController', {
        $scope: scope
    }); 
}));

Thanks, but that still hasn't fixed the problem. scope and ctrl are still resolved as undefined :\ –  A T Dec 22 '13 at 6:48
