Tests aren't detected anymore migrating from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0 (and 1.7.0)

[andrew...@gmail.com]

I work on the free-software project Yorick. It uses RequireJS and I don't end any relative paths with .js, so I have a few shims and complications to make karma go. Recently when upgrading from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0 karma doesn't seem to find any of my tests anymore. I was hoping somebody here might have some insight.

Here is an example automated test that failed:

> yor...@0.8.8 test /home/travis/build/gnu-lorien/yorick

> karma start public/karma.conf.js --single-run --browsers PhantomJS

It appears to have stalled after setting up the files to serve. Only changing the version of karma back to 1.5.0, it happily moves passed this point:

All of this code is entirely open and house on GitHub here: https://github.com/gnu-lorien/yorick/tree/develop. All of the shims I had to put together are in here: https://github.com/gnu-lorien/yorick/blob/develop/public/scripts/app/tests/test-main.js. If anybody has any insight into this I would really appreciate it.
