Can't get angular controller test to pass - angularjs

Question

I am having a hard time figuring out why http.post method is not being called within my tests, which is indicated by the message saying ~ "nothing to flush" as well as adding console.log statements to both the success and the error promise methods.
The api code does work when using the app. This is my first angular controller test so I could be missing something simple.
I have been using David Mosher's example as a template https://github.com/davemo/lineman-angular-template/blob/master/spec/controllers/login_controller_spec.coffee
# controller
"use strict"
angular.module("woddlyApp").controller "SignupCtrl", ($scope, $http, $location) ->
$scope.user = {}
$scope.save = (user, role) ->
user.role = role
$http.post('/users', user)
.success (data, status, headers, config) ->
$location.path '/dashboard'
.error (data, status, headers, config) ->
# tests
'use strict'
describe 'Controller: SignupCtrl', ->
# load the controller's module
beforeEach -> module('woddlyApp')
# Initialize the controller and a mock scope
beforeEach inject ($controller, $rootScope, #$location, #$httpBackend) ->
#scope = $rootScope.$new()
#redirect = spyOn($location, 'path')
$controller 'SignupCtrl', { $scope: #scope, $location: $location }
afterEach ->
#$httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest()
#$httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation()
describe 'Successful signup', ->
beforeEach ->
#$httpBackend.expectPOST('/users', #scope.user).respond(200)
#scope.save(#scope.user, 'member')
#$httpBackend.flush()
it 'redirects the user to the dashboard page', ->
expect(#redirect).toHaveBeenCalledWith '/dashboard'

As mentioned in the comments I am using angular 1.1.5 (for the new ng-animate). To get my tests passing I needed to install the angular-mocks 1.1.5.
bower install angular-mocks-unstable
or update the bower.js (or components.js) file and run:
bower install
And update my karma.conf.js file
files = [
JASMINE,
JASMINE_ADAPTER,
'app/components/angular-unstable/angular.js',
'app/components/angular-mocks-unstable/angular-mocks.js', // need unstable here
'.tmp/scripts/*.js',
'.tmp/scripts/**/*.js',
'.tmp/spec/**/*.js'
];
