Mention any other details that might be useful.

Appears to be rxjs related.

You're not using your local linked version of the CLI. Try to go inside your project and npm link angular-cli.

Okay, thanks @hansl. I tried a few things based on the above, but got the same error until I reinstalled the local NPM package for the CLI.

Short story: npm uninstall angular-cli and npm install angular-cli (local package.json points to 1.0.0-beta.26)

Long story

1. npm link angular-cli

2. ng test
   (same error)

3. Update CLI version inside package.json to match local

4. ng test
   (same error)

5. Unlink the local install of CLI from github and confirm it's gone with ng test (yep, gone)

6. Back to project and run ng test
   (same error)

7. Try npm run test for fun
   (same error)

8. Checkout v1.0.0-beta.25

9. Remove node_modules from local CLI clone

10. npm i (CLI)

11. npm link

12. ng new test-app --style=scss

13. ng test
    (same error)

Then...

npm uninstall angular-cli and npm install angular-cli (local package.json points to 1.0.0-beta.26)

Works! I removed my local clone of the CLI entirely just to avoid the confusion of when one is running vs. another.
