AngularJS and Jasmine, inject() causes error

Im writing tests with karma + jasmine. Look at this:

describe("users module", function(){

    var scope, controller;

    beforeEach(function () {
        module('users');
    });

    it("should work", function(){

    });

});

The above code is working and i get this output

PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Linux 0.0.0): Executed 1 of 1 SUCCESS (0.038 secs / 0.001 secs)

What i really need to do here is testing that module controllers. So i am adding:

describe("users module", function(){

    var scope, controller;

    beforeEach(function () {
        module('users');
    });

    describe("Users list", function(){
        beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) {
            scope = $rootScope.$new();
            controller = $controller('ctrl', {
                '$scope': scope
            });
        }));

        it("should work", function(){

        });
    });
});

When i add the second beforeEach block i get an injection error. The error dump is huge, it starts like so:

Error: [$injector:modulerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.7/$injector/modulerr?p0=users

I've tried to dry the code as much as possible but even the following leads to the same error:

describe("users module", function(){

    var scope, controller;

    beforeEach(function () {
        module('users');
    });

    describe("Users list", function(){
        beforeEach(inject(function () {

        }));

        it("should work", function(){

        });
    });
});

What's wrong with my code?

==EDIT==

If i switch to non-minified angular version i get a readable error dump, which looks like as follows:

public/src/bower_components/angular/angular.js:4632:53
        forEach@public/src/bower_components/angular/angular.js:321:24
        loadModules@public/src/bower_components/angular/angular.js:4592:12
        createInjector@public/src/bower_components/angular/angular.js:4514:30
        workFn@public/src/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js:3067:60
        loaded@http://localhost:9876/context.js:151:17

It turned out i misspelled a module dependency.

Lesson: if angular's saying it has troubles creating module users, that's most probably true and you must investigate that error first.
