Error: No provider for "framework:karma-typescript"!

[hmil]

Hi,

I get the following error when using karma-typescript starting at version v2.1.0. This bug does not occur when using the version at commit number 59d06b2050f3073d545edc25a5c5b11ab9de25e7 which is how I am currently working around this bug.
I'm using exactly the config provided in the examples and since it works with an older commit, I can only assume some breaking change went unnoticed betweem 59d06 and v2.1.0

Setup:

MacOSX 10.11.6
nodejs: v4.5.0
npm: 2.15.9
karma: 1.3.0

error:

Hey @hmil, is 59d06b2 the latest commit that works before v2.1.0? Does it work if you try the latest from master? Also, could you enable debug logging in karma to see how far karma-typescript makes it before crashing and burning?

EDIT: does f6550e4 or 2ca5747 work for you?

[monounity]

If I try to break stuff in framework.js I get a stacktrace that looks like yours, but I also get a more specific error message right before the stacktrace telling me what's gone wrong, do you get that too?

i got the same error. I tried 2.0.9 and it works just fine

[hmil]

@monounity Yes, 59d06b2 is the last commit that works.
After investigation, it turns out the error comes from missing modules removed in this commit. However, after installing those modules, I still get an error at runtime:

note that I used the same dependency versions as before they were removed.

@hmil, this the same issue as in #24, I'll add the dependencies explicitly since npm apparantly wont pull in all deps for some users...
