issue with unit-testing directive using karma

[ajs2]

I'm unit testing my directive and in my unit test I only have

var scope = $rootScope.$new(),
    element = angular.element('<my-foo></my-foo>');

element = $compile(element)(scope);
scope.$digest();

expect(element.scope()).toBeDefined();

This test fails :( To reproduce this I have created a small angular project here on github, with only 1 directive and only one unit test. To reproduce do

$> git clone https://github.com/ajs2/angularjs-directive
$> npm install
$> bower install
$> karma start karma.conf.js

I was able to fix this test by doing one the following

1. In the directive add to the 'link' function

$element.data('$scope', $scope);

2. or change 'replace' into

replace: false 

3. remove jquery from karma.conf.js

It doesn't make any sense, but it demonstrates that this situation is weird (I think). Can someone comment on this, because after many hours of tweaking I start to think that I have hit a bug here!

I got the impression this is not the right place for this, copied the question to angular/angular.js#4640

You're right!
