Answer 1

for anyone following https://github.com/juliemr/ng2-test-seed, in my case this error occurred due to this line of code : https://github.com/juliemr/ng2-test-seed/blob/master/karma-test-shim.js#L31.

Updating it to

System.import('angular2/src/platform/browser/browser_adapter')

will rectify the problem. Hope it helps someone.

Answer 2

To answer my own question on this.

Turns out the problem was with my karma files section.

  { pattern: 'node_modules/rxjs/bundles/rx.js', included: true, watched: true }

The filename for the rx module is node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js

With linux being case sensitive this is the reason it worked on a windows dev environment and failed on the linux build server.

The 404 message for the rx.js file was present in the logs but I missed among a lot of other debug logging.

Lesson learned :)
