Can't find variable: require - Jasmine Unit testing using Chutzpah

Question

I'm really new to Churtzpah and Jasmine. I have been trying to run tests using Chutzpah. I'm using Jasmine, Typescript , Chutzpah , angular2 to write unit tests. Whenever i try to run the tests , I see that my tests are being detected . My chutzpah.json file is as follows :

     {
  "Framework": "jasmine",

  "Compile": {
    "Mode": "Executable",
    "Executable": "../compile.bat",
    "Extensions": [ ".ts" ],
    "ExtensionsWithNoOutput": [ ".d.ts" ],
    "UseSourceMaps": true,
    "Paths": [
      {
        "SourcePath": "../",
        "OutputPath": "../"
      }
    ]
  },
  "References": [
   { "Path": "../node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/zone.js/dist/jasmine-patch.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/zone.js/dist/async-test.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/zone.js/dist/fake-async-test.js" },
    { "Path": "../node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js" },
    {
      "Path": "app",
      "Includes": [ "*.ts" ],
      "Excludes": [ "*.d.ts" ]
    }
  ],
  "Tests": [
    { "Include": "*.spec.ts" }

  ]
}







import {it, describe, beforeEach, inject, beforeEachProviders} from "@angular/core/testing";

import {LoginService} from "./login.service";

describe("testing LoginService", () => {
    let Myservice: LoginService = new LoginService();
    it("Should return true", () => {
        expect(Myservice.validateUser("test", "test")).toBe(true);
    });
        it("validateUser should fail if input values are null", () => {
            expect(Myservice.validateUser(null, null)).toBe(false);
        });
    });

Let me know what else I need to do. thanks

the compile.bat looks like

    @echo off tsc.cmd app/login/login.service.ts app/tests/login.service.spec.ts --sourcemap--declaration

I see the following error in the test output window

Error: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: require

0 passed, 0 failed, 0 total (chutzpah).

In the Chutzpah repo there is a Angualr-Typescript sample that might be helpful to get you started. It's Chutzpah.json below, but a couple key things to notice.

Ensure tests are not included in the references section
Make sure you explicitly reference the key angular framework files individually in the right

Chutzpah.json

{
  "Framework": "jasmine",
  "Compile": {
    "Mode": "Executable",
    "Executable": "../compile.bat",
    "Extensions": [ ".ts" ],
    "ExtensionsWithNoOutput": [ ".d.ts" ],
    "UseSourceMaps": true,
    "Paths" : [
      { "SourcePath": "../", "OutputPath": "../" }
    ]
  },
  "References": [
    { "Path": "../../libs/angular.min.js", "IsTestFrameworkFile": true },
    { "Path": "../../libs/angular-mocks.js", "IsTestFrameworkFile": true },
    { "Path": "../src", "Includes": [ "*.ts" ], "Excludes": ["*.d.ts"] }
  ],
  "Tests": [{ "Include": "*Tests.ts" }]
}
