I want to report a bug with karma test on the latest RC5

• What is the current behavior?

When you run npm test in the console, you get the following error

ERROR in ./karma-shim.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'zone.js/dist/proxy-zone' in /Users/lgarro/Documents/starter/angular2-webpack-master

• If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via
  https://plnkr.co or similar (you can use this template as a starting point: http://plnkr.co/edit/tpl:AvJOMERrnz94ekVua0u5).

Steps to reproduce:

1- Open up starter in the ide of your choice
2- Run npm install to install dependencies
3-Run "npm run test"

• What is the expected behavior?

Basic tests included in the starter should pass, and no error should be shown in the console

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Run tests

• Please tell us about your environment:

OS: OSX El capitan
Browser: chrome

I also get this error, in the karm-test-shim.js

[egervari]

I changed a few things with the starter, and this appears to work. I make the karma-test-shim into a typescript file.

import 'core-js/es6';
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';
import 'reflect-metadata';

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import 'zone.js/dist/async-test';
import 'zone.js/dist/fake-async-test';
import 'zone.js/dist/sync-test';

Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity;

var appContext = (<{ context?: Function }>require).context('../src', true, /\.spec\.ts/);

appContext.keys().forEach(appContext);

var testing = require('@angular/core/testing');
var browser = require('@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing');

testing.TestBed.initTestEnvironment(
    browser.BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
    browser.platformBrowserDynamicTesting()
);

Then I changed the following in the karma.conf.js:

        files: [
            {pattern: './config/karma-test-shim.ts', watched: false}
        ],

        preprocessors: {
            './config/karma-test-shim.ts': ['webpack', 'sourcemap'],
            './src/**/!(*.spec).(ts|js)': [
                'sourcemap'
            ]
        },
