Angular 1.2.10 upgrade kills $httpBackend tests

Question

I just upgraded from Angular.js 1.1.3 to 1.2.10 and my $httpBackend tests started failing. Im using QUnit 1.12.0 as a testing framework.

I have the following setup in my tests.

(function () {
var fittingDataServiceMock,
    injector,
    ctrl,
    $scope,
    $httpBackend;

module("Fitting Controller Test", {
    setup: function() {
        injector = angular.injector(['ngMock', 'ng','fittingApp']);
        $scope = injector.get('$rootScope').$new();
        $httpBackend = injector.get('$httpBackend');
        fittingDataServiceMock = injector.get('fittingDataService');

        //expects a post on controller creation
        $httpBackend.expectPOST('/app_dev.php/client_api/command').respond("hello");
        ctrl = injector.get('$controller')(DoubleVariableController, { $scope: $scope, fittingDataService: fittingDataServiceMock });
        $httpBackend.flush();
    },
    teardown: function() {

    }

    test ("DoubleVariableController Simple Test", function() {
    $httpBackend.expectPOST('/app_dev.php/client_api/command').respond(200, {data: "Hello"});

    // make an AJAX Posts

    $httpBackend.flush();
    }
});

In this case, I get two failing tests

First Error:

Setup failed on DoubleVariableController Simple Test: No pending request to flush!

    at Error (native)
    at Function.$httpBackend.flush (http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.1.1/angular-mocks.js:1148:34)

Second Error:

Died on test #2 ... No pending request to flush !

Error: No pending request to flush !
    at Error (native)
    at Function.$httpBackend.flush (http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.1.1/angular-mocks.js:1148:34)

I don't know why all the sudden, post requests are not going through. The tests worked fine using Angular 1.1.3. Any ideas?

As 1.2.x has move ngRoute to separate file you have to include it after angular.js in your tests configuration file.
