here's my app.js which is where I load ui.bootstrap.

'use strict';

angular.module('lmApp', [
    'ui.bootstrap',
    'ui.router'
])
.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider',
    function ( $stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider ) {
            $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/')
            $stateProvider.state('index', {
                    url: "", // root
                    views: {
                            "Nav":        { templateUrl: "views/nav.html" },
                            "Week":       { templateUrl: "views/week.html" },
                    },
            })
    }
])
.factory('now', function () { return new Date })
;

here's my test

'use strict';

describe('Controller: Week', function () {

  // load the controller's module
  beforeEach(module('lmApp'));

  var MainCtrl,
    scope;

  // Initialize the controller and a mock scope
  beforeEach(inject(function ($controller, $rootScope) {
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    MainCtrl = $controller('Week', {
      $scope: scope
    });
  }));

  it('should attach days of the week to scope', function () {
    expect(scope.days_of_the_week.length).toBe(7);
  });
});

The problem is stated in the error log when it says:

Error: No module: ui.bootstrap

Based on that, I'm going to guess you're missing a step in your Karma config file (usually called karma.conf.js). You need to supply all of the necessary libraries that your app requires in your config so that Karma knows to load those up in memory before running your tests. When you call beforeEach(module('lmApp'));, Karma tries to create your lmApp module, but can't because one (or more) of its declared dependencies isn't available.

I'm 99% sure that if you just include the source code for ui.bootstrap in the files: {} portion of your karma config, it should start working.

See the karma docs here for more info.
