Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. karma init, with IE, mocha, files specified above.
2. karma start

P.S. I am extremely new I apologize if I put things in the wrong place. Please bear with me and let me know if you need additional information.

Try removing

'node_modules/requirejs/require.js',
'node_modules/karma-requirejs/lib/adapter.js', 

from the files array.
Seems that the docs for v1.0 need to be updated.

ok done, but no difference made to the errors. Still the same problem
