Additional provider required for Unit Testing an Ionic2 project

[CoreyCole]

When following the Unit Testing an Ionic2 project tutorial, I ran into an error running the simple test.

Error: No provider for GestureController!

I fixed this by adding the following to my test.ts file:

import { App, MenuController, NavController, Platform, Config, Keyboard, Form, IonicModule, GestureController }  from 'ionic-angular';

...

providers: [
  App, Platform, Form, Keyboard, MenuController, NavController, GestureController,
  {provide: Config, useClass: ConfigMock}
]

I'd love to know more about why this happened. My project was generated using the ionic-cli after the release of rc3.

Environment

"ionic-angular": "2.0.0-rc.3"
"angular-cli": "^1.0.0-beta.22-1"
"karma": "1.3.0"

Hi Cory, Lots of people have ran into this issue. Something you are using requires the GestureController: lathonez/clicker#154 lathonez/clicker#160 lathonez/clicker#180 Thanks
