When testing angularjs controller - Can't find variable: module / inject by chutzpah

I have angularJs controller

angular.module('App.ctrl.guests', [])
    .controller('guestsController', ['$scope', '$http', '$location', '$timeout', 'guestsService', function ($scope, $http, $location, $timeout, guestsService) {
        $scope.tiles = [];
    }])

and jasmine test

/// <reference path="~/Scripts/angular.js" />
/// <reference path="../../ProjectWeb/Scripts/app/guests/guestsCtrl.js" />
/// <reference path="~/Scripts/angular-mocks.js" />
/// <reference path="~/Scripts/jasmine.js" />
'use strict';
describe('App.ctrl.guests', function () {
    var scope, controller;
    beforeEach(function () {
        module('App.ctrl.guests')
    });
    beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) {
        scope = $rootScope.$new();
        controller = $controller('guestsController', {
            $scope: scope
        });
    }));

    it('should have empty array', function () {
        expect(scope.tiles).toBe([]);
    });
})

and every time i run in Visual studio chutzpah i get:

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: module in file:///.../JasmineTests/guestsControllerTest.js (line 5)

ReferenceError: Can't find variable: inject in file:///.../JasmineTests/guestsControllerTest.js (line 12)

Is thera a problem with reference angular.js and jasmine dont know what is module/inject keywords? It is my first time with js testing :/

I found in this article on how to drag and drop JavaScript files for testing and correct path.

I had this exact exception a couple of minutes ago on our TFS build server. It turns out that this exception is also occurring when the 'Copy to Output Directory' option in the Properties dialog is set to another option than 'Do not copy'. In our situation, a couple of files was tested from the \bin folder, which lead to an incorrect reference path.
