the app works fine, this error ONLY happens in Karma test. I've also imported the BrowserAnimationsModule in the app.module.ts file in the imports: [] array. None of the solutions on the internet works for me... Desperate...

I use angular cli and "@angular/animations": "^6.1.3", is already in the package.json

In my case, It worked by importing NoopAnimationsModule in the spec file.

Do replace BrowserAnimationsModule by NoopAnimationsModule.

import { NoopAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

Inside your beforeEach function, change like below,

 imports: [
        NoopAnimationsModule,
        RouterTestingModule,
        MatIconModule,
        MatTableModule,
        MatTabsModule,
        HttpClientModule,
      ],
