Unknown Provider when testing a modal dialog - angularjs

Question

Preface : I'm quite new to Angular and very new to unit-testing. Be gentle.
I'm trying to run unit tests on a controller for a bootstrap modal window.
When initiating the modal I am passing through an object called thisVersion like so :
function showShareDialog(thisVersion){
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'app/shares/views/shares-dialogue.tpl.html',
controller: 'SharesCtrl',
resolve:{
thisVersion:function(){
return thisVersion;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function (validated) {
// .. more code
});
}
As soon as the Shares Controller is instantiated I am calling a method on thisVersion
thisVersion.getList('shares').then(function(result){
$scope.shares = result;
});
thisVersion is being passed in to the controller as a dependency, and that all works as expected.
The issue, however, is that I can't seem to inject it into my test suites. I keep getting this error
Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: thisVersionProvider <- thisVersion
This is (most of) my test suite :
var scope, controller, thisVersion;
beforeEach(module('app'));
beforeEach(inject(function ($controller, $rootScope, _thisVersion_) {
scope = $rootScope.$new();
controller = $controller('SharesCtrl', {
$scope: scope
});
thisVersion = _thisVersion_;
}));
it('should get a list of all shares', function(){
expect(thisVersion.getList).not.toBe('undefined');
});
I know I am going to have to mock the call to the Api from thisVersion.getList() but for now I'm just concerned with getting the test suite to recognise thisVersion

You need to inject thisVersion into the $controller, seeing as how it's a resolved value in $modal.open.
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'app/shares/views/shares-dialogue.tpl.html',
controller: 'SharesCtrl',
resolve:{
// Resolved properties will be available for DI, into the controller.
thisVersion:function(){
return thisVersion;
}
}
});
beforeEach(module('app'));
beforeEach(inject(function ($controller, $rootScope, _thisVersion_) {
scope = $rootScope.$new();
controller = $controller('SharesCtrl', {
$scope: scope,
thisVersion: _thisVersion_ /** inject the service _into_ the controller **/
});
}));
