How to get Karma to run these test files?

Question

I'm new to automated testing. I'm trying to run some tests inside my IDE, WebStorm. It seems to support jsTestDriver and Karma. As I understand it, JsTestDriver doesn't natively support RequireJS, which these tests need.

Karma, however, says it does. I've created a test file,

module.exports = function(config) {
    config.set({
        basePath: '',
        frameworks: ['jasmine', 'requirejs'],
        files: [
            {pattern: 'spec/*.spec.js', included: false},
        ],
        reporters: ['progress'],
        port: 9885,
        colors: true,
        logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
        autoWatch: false,
        browsers: ['PhantomJS'],
        captureTimeout: 10000,
        singleRun: true
    });
};

But it just seems to hang after it outputs this (running from node terminal):

C:\Users\Mark\Documents\GitHub\timezone-js>karma start
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.10.1 server started at http://localhost:9885/
INFO [launcher]: Starting browser PhantomJS
INFO [PhantomJS 1.9.1 (Windows 8)]: Connected on socket id MYUP0uo-jk-3W8hB8trx

If I run it in a browser and check the JavaScript console, I get this:

ReferenceError: require is not defined  
http://localhost:9878/base/spec/date.spec.js  
Line 1

Why is it complaining about "require" if Karma supports it and I included it as one of the frameworks..?

Check out the docs.

You are missing some test-main.js file, where you configure Require.js and kick off the test run by requiring something (probably all of your tests).
