AngularJS $timeout function not executing in my Jasmine specs

I\'m trying to test my AngularJS controller with Jasmine, using Karma. But a $timeout which works well in real-life, crashes my tests.

As noted in one of the comments, Jasmine setTimeout mock is not being used because angular's JS mock $timeout service is used instead. Personally, I'd rather use Jasmine's because its mocking method lets me test the length of the timeout. You can effectively circumvent it with a simple provider in your unit test:

module(function($provide) {
  $provide.constant('$timeout', setTimeout);
});

Note: if you go this route, be sure to call $scope.apply() after jasmine.Clock.tick.
