Karma error: myApp is not defined - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to test the Angular seed project with a clean install of Karma in a different directory. I haven't modified the Angular seed project. Why are myApp and myApp.View1Ctrl not defined?
My tests are:
describe("Unit Testing Examples", function () {
//beforeEach(angular.mock.module('myApp'));
beforeEach(module('myApp'));
it('should have a View1Ctrl controller', function () {
expect(myApp).toBeDefined();
expect(myApp.View1Ctrl).toBeDefined();
});
});
The output is:
INFO [watcher]: Changed file "C:/Projects/KarmaJasmine/KarmaJasmine/test/placeho
lder.js".
Chrome 37.0.2062 (Windows 8.1) Unit Testing Examples should have a View1Ctrl controller FAILED
ReferenceError: myApp is not defined

Chrome 37.0.2062 (Windows 8.1): Executed 6 of 6 (1 FAILED) (0.061 secs / 0.054 s
ecs)
My karma.conf has the following section, and I confirmed that the files exist:
files: [
'../AngularSeed/app/bower_components/angular/angular.js',
'../AngularSeed/app/bower_components/angular-route/angular-route.js',
'../AngularSeed/app/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
'../AngularSeed/app/app.js',
'../AngularSeed/app/components/**/*.js',
'../AngularSeed/app/view*/**/*.js'
, 'test/placeholder.js'
],
Please let me know if I need to post more details. I tried to read through all of the similar questions, and haven't found an answer.

You have myApp variable that is not defined in your spec. Define it:
describe("Unit Testing Examples", function () {
var myApp;
beforeEach(function () {
myApp = angular.module('myApp');
});
it('should have a View1Ctrl controller', function () {
expect(myApp).toBeDefined();
expect(myApp.controller('View1Ctrl')).toBeDefined();
});
});
There is also a related jsfiddle demonstrating the case.
