karma not finding files - jasmine

Question

This application is built in Visual Studio 2013 and uses gulpJs for bundling, minification, and running js tests. I can run my tests by right clicking on a html file in my tests project and 'View in Browser'. When I run the gulp task that starts karma, the browser opens and I get an error:
ReferenceError: angular is not defined
at Suite.<anonymous> (C:/Dev/eStoreNextGen/eStore-branch-F2/eStore/eStore.JS.Specs/Checkout/billingAddressController.spec.js:5:16)
Here is my karma.conf.js
module.exports = function (config) {
config.set({
browsers: ['Chrome'],
frameworks: ['jasmine'],
files: [
'./../../eStore.JS.Specs/Tools/angular.min.js',
'./../../eStore.JS.Specs/Tools/angular-mocks.js',
'./Scripts/**/*.js',
'./../../eStore.JS.Specs/**/*.spec.js'
],
logLevel: config.LOG_DEBUG,
autoWatch: true,
singleRun: false
});
};
Here is my gulp.js test task:
var testFiles = '../../eStore.JS.Specs/**/*.spec.js';
gulp.task('test', function () {
gulp.src(testFiles)
.pipe(karma({
configFile: './karma.conf.js',
action: 'run'
})
.on('error', errorHandler));
});
It seems karma is requesting all my spec files, but I see no requests for angular, angular-mocks, or my JS files under test. Here is the karma output:

Answer 1

In your gulp task, replace:
configFile: './karma.conf.js'
with:
configFile: path.join(__dirname, './karma.conf.js')
This assumes you have:
var path = require('path');

Answer 2

Use server.start in the package 'karma' rather than the 'gulp-karma' package.
var karma = require('karma').server;
karma.start({
configFile: __dirname + '/karma.conf.js',
}, karmaCompleted);
function karmaCompleted(karmaResult) {
log('Karma completed');
if (karmaResult === 1) {
done('karma: tests failed with code ' + karmaResult);
} else {
done();
}
}
