Q:

Executed 0 of 0 ERROR when running Karma on Cordova project

I have an apache cordova project setup and I'm trying to use Karma for the first time. I've started the project like this:
karma start test/karma.conf.js --verbose

But all I'm getting is:
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.12.36 server started at http://localhost:9876/
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser Chrome
WARN [web-server]: 404: /favicon.ico
INFO [Chrome 43.0.2357 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0)]: Connected on socket 0_IDnS6qvPg4OhGd7oq4 with id 66015767
Chrome 43.0.2357 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0): Executed 0 of 0 ERROR (0.002 secs / 0 secs)

I've double-checked what I've done against the docs for configuring requirejs for karma.
karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    basePath: '..',
    frameworks: ['jasmine', 'requirejs'],
    files: [
      {pattern: 'www/lib/ionic/js/*.min.js', included: false},
      {pattern: 'www/lib/ionic/js/angular/*.min.js', included: false},
      {pattern: 'www/lib/ionic/js/angular-ui/*.min.js', included: false},
      {pattern: 'www/js/**/*.js', included: false},
      {pattern: 'test/specs/*Spec.js', included: false},
      {pattern: 'test/test-app.js', included: true}
    ],
    exclude: [
      'www/js/app.js'
    ],
    preprocessors: {
    },
    reporters: ['progress'],
    port: 9876,
    colors: true,
    logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
    autoWatch: true,
    browsers: ['Chrome'],
    singleRun: false
  });
};

test-app.js
var tests = [];
for(var file in window.__karma__.files) {
    if(window.__karma__.files.hasOwnProperty(file)) {
        if(/Spec\.js$/.test(file)) {
            tests.push(file);
        }
    }
}

requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: 'www',
    paths: {
        'angular': 'lib/ionic/js/angular'
        ,'angular-ui': 'lib/ionic/js/angular-ui'
    },
    shim: {
        'angular': {exports: 'angular'},
        'www/js/controllers': { deps: ['angular']}
    },
    deps: tests,
    callback: window.__karma__.start
})

helloSpec.js
define('helloTests', ['angular'], function() {
        describe('UnitTest: Hello', function() {
            it('is defined', function() {
                expect([1,2,3].length).toEqual(3);
            });
        });
    });

I'm assuming that the list of served documents is everything pulled in by requirejs and the script tags are what's added by karma.
The console output is:
Skipped 0 tests

So it looks like it just doesn't see the test definitions. But when I step through the debug and set a breakpoint at the requirejs.config I can see that the "tests" array contains my test file:
/base/test/specs/helloSpec.js

I can also see it's been loaded by looking at Chrome's Network panel. Which lists:
debug.html
boot.js
jasmine.js
adapter.js
require.js
test-app.js
adapter.js
helloSpec.js

A:

Earlier I had been getting the error:
Mismatched anonymous define() module: ...

So I had changed the define function call from
define(['angular'], function(angular) {
    ....
});

to
define('helloTests', ['angular'], function(angular) {
    ....
});

That got rid of the error details, but didn't fix anything. It turns out it also wasn't helping since I could no longer see the error message change. After posting I tried removing it on a whim since I couldn't see it being used anywhere else. Then the error message changed to:
Chrome 43.0.2357 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0) ERROR: 'There is no timestamp for www/lib/ionic/js/angular.js!'

WARN [web-server]: 404: /www/lib/ionic/js/angular.js
Chrome 43.0.2357 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0) ERROR
  Uncaught Error: Script error for: angular
  http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#scripterror
  at c:/Users/Mark/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/requirejs/require.js:141

Since I was using the min files (easier to filter out the debug versions by including "*.min.js" in the file patterns) I changed my requirejs.config paths and appended ".min" like this:
requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: 'www',
    paths: {
        'angular': 'lib/ionic/js/angular/angular.min'
        ,'angular-ui': 'lib/ionic/js/angular-ui/angular-ui.min'
    },
    ...
})

At this point the error message only changed to say there was no timestamp for angular.min.js. At this point I noticed the path was relative and started with "base/wwww". That's when I finally noticed something I'd missed  in the docs. So I changed the "baseUrl" parameter in my requirejs.config to add "base/":
requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: 'base/www',
    ...
})

Now the error is gone and the test is running:
Chrome 43.0.2357 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0): Executed 1 of 1 SUCCESS (0.015 secs / 0 secs)

EDIT: One more thing, the test started running but I didn't notice I was still getting a "There is no timestamp" message. Changing my requirejs.config baseUrl parameter from relative to absolute (added "/" to the beginning) fixed it. 
requirejs.config({
    baseUrl: '/base/www',
    ...
})

Now I'm up and running.
