Angular Quickstart fails karma testing out of the box - node.js

Question

The official Angular quickstart is not able to run karma tests after a clean install on Windows 10. I typed the following 4 commands and nothing else:
C:\projects\temp>git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git
C:\projects\temp>cd C:\projects\temp\quickstart
C:\projects\temp\quickstart>npm install
...install logs omitted for brevity
C:\projects\temp\quickstart>npm start
...app launched successfully, but logs omitted for brevity
C:\projects\temp\quickstart>npm test
...Error shown in complete logs below
The full error message resulting after the final command is as follows:
C:\projects\temp\quickstart>npm test
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 pretest C:\projects\temp\quickstart
> npm run build
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 build C:\projects\temp\quickstart
> tsc -p src/
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 test C:\projects\temp\quickstart
> concurrently "npm run build:watch" "karma start karma.conf.js"

What needs to change in order for npm test to succeed out of the box on Windows 10?

Answer 1

The Angular quickstart project has largely been superseded by the Angular CLI. I would suggest using the CLI it for any new projects as it not only gives you an initial framework for your application, but it will also generate the additional boilerplate needed as you extend your application.
Before installing Angular CLi, ensure you have an up to date version of Node (6.9.0 or higher) and NPM (3 or higher). Also there may be other prerequisites not listed in the documentation, to install on an Android system I found it also needed Python 2.7 and g++ installed.
Install with:
npm install -g #angular/cli
To create a new project:
ng new PROJECT-NAME
cd PROJECT-NAME
ng serve
ng new will take some time to complete as in addition to building the project structure it also does the npm install.
Run unit tests with ng test and end-to-end tests with ng e2e.
Both ng test and ng serve will run continuously watching for changes and rebuilding the affected code. You can even leave both running in separate windows if you wish.
ng generate BLUEPRINT will generate new code, blueprints include module, component, service, class, directive, enum, guard, interface, pipe
Other useful commands:. You may want to experiment with this a bit before you write a real app: by default each component or service goes into its own subdirectory and is added to the top level app module, but you can explicitly create modules to provide additional structure if you wish.
ng build: builds your application into the output path.
ng doc KEYWORD: opens angular documentation for that keyword.
ng eject: ejects the app and outputs webpack configuration
ng lint: lints the project
ng xi18n: extracts i18n messages from the project.

Answer 2

This is not answer, just give more case to find out root cause.
I followed steps which you described and got this:
D:\Project\temp\quickstart>npm test
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 pretest D:\Project\temp\quickstart
> npm run build
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 build D:\Project\temp\quickstart
> tsc -p src/
> angular-quickstart#1.0.0 test D:\Project\temp\quickstart
> concurrently "npm run build:watch" "karma start karma.conf.js"

[0] > angular-quickstart#1.0.0 build:watch D:\Project\temp\quickstart
