TypeError: undefined is not a constructor
<p>I'm very new to Angular and I'm trying to figure much of this out still.  I'm writing some tests using Angular 1.5.8 which I generated from the Yeoman Generator.</p>

<p>Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to manipulate $httpBackend results (I'm not sure if that's important or not)...</p>

<p>In my app.js file I have the following code:</p>

<pre><code>.run(['$rootScope', '$location', 'breadcrumbService', function ($rootScope, $location, breadcrumbService) {
    $rootScope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function () {
        jQuery('html, body').animate({scrollTop: 0}, 200);
    });

    $rootScope.isEditMode = false;
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function () {
        // ------------ this next line is failing -----------
        $rootScope.isEditMode = $location.path().toLowerCase().endsWith('/edit') || $location.path().toLowerCase().endsWith('/new');
    });

    $rootScope.parseJson = function (value) {
        return angular.fromJson(value);
    };

    $rootScope.bc = breadcrumbService;

    $rootScope.title = "";
}])
</code></pre>

<p>The line about halfway down (where I added the comment) is failing.  Specifically, the <code>endsWith</code> function is failing (toLower is fine), with this error:</p>

<pre><code>PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Windows 8 0.0.0) Service: breadcrumbService should return breadcrumb label in json format FAILED

<p>Here is my test code (some junk modified from different examples - just trying to get it to work):</p>

<pre><code>'use strict';

describe('Service: breadcrumbService', function () {

    // load the service's module
    beforeEach(module('myModule'));

    var $httpBackend, $rootScope, createController, authRequestHandler;
    beforeEach(inject(function($injector) {

        $httpBackend = $injector.get('$httpBackend');
        console.log('Is null? '+ ($httpBackend == null));
        $httpBackend.whenGET(/views\/.*/).respond(200, [{}, {}, {}]);

        authRequestHandler = $httpBackend.when('GET', '/api/v1/SiteStagings')
            .respond({userId: 'userX'}, {'A-Token': 'xxx'});

        // Get hold of a scope (i.e. the root scope)
        $rootScope = $injector.get('$rootScope');
        $httpBackend.flush();
    }));

    // instantiate service
    var breadcrumbService;
    beforeEach(inject(function (_breadcrumbService_) {
        breadcrumbService = _breadcrumbService_;
    }));

    it('svc should exist', function () {
        expect(!!breadcrumbService).toBe(true);
    });

    it('should return breadcrumb label in json format', function () {
        var result = breadcrumbService.getFromCache('site', 'SiteGroupStagings', 46, 'SiteGroupDesc');
        console.log(result);
        expect(!!result).toBe(true);

    });
});
</code></pre>

<p>I don't doubt that I'm doing something wrong here, I just can't quite understand what it is.  What does this error really mean and why does it not like my call to <code>endsWith</code>?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
