Error: [$ injector: unpr] Unknown provider: $ scopeProvider <- $ scope Error

Question

I get this general error Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $scopeProvider <- $scope with my test case. I know this is general, and there are several other threads explaining the solutions. But I really could not come up with an answer to my problem. Can someone point me in the right direction?

ViewMeetingCtrl,

 (function () { 'use strict'; angular.module('MyApp').controller('ViewMeetingCtrl', ViewMeetingCtrl); ViewMeetingCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', '$state', '$http', '$translate', 'notificationService', 'meetingService', '$modal', 'meeting', 'attachmentService']; function ViewMeetingCtrl($scope, $state, $http, $translate, notificationService, meetingService, $modal, meeting, attachmentService) { $scope.meeting = meeting; $scope.test = "testvalue"; if (meeting.Status == 'Cancelled') { $scope.actionButtons = false; } else { $scope.actionButtons = true; } //more code } })(); 

MeetingCtrlSpec.js

 describe('ViewMeetingCtrl', function () { var $rootScope, scope, $controller, meetingService; beforeEach(angular.mock.module('MyApp')); beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller, meetingService) { scope = $rootScope.$new(); $controller('ViewMeetingCtrl', { meetingService: meetingService, '$rootScope' : $rootScope, scope: scope }); })); it('should change greeting value if name value is changed', function () { //some assertion }); });

Answer 1

Replace

  $controller('ViewMeetingCtrl', { meetingService: meetingService, '$rootScope' : $rootScope, scope: scope }); 

by

  $controller('ViewMeetingCtrl', { meetingService: meetingService, $scope: scope }); 

A controller must be entered with an argument named $ scope, not with a scope. And $ rootScope is not part of the injected collaborators of your controller.

Answer 2

For the same error, I forgot to put '$' before scope in

 app.controller("loginCtrl", function(**$**scope){ })
