3rd Party library testing angular 2 webpack - unit-testing

Question

I am working on a project using angular 2 and a 3rd party library for making charts (AmCharts). I figured out how to use it along angular 2, but I'm getting a error when I try to make a unit test for the chart component:
Error: Error in ./ChartsComponent class ChartsComponent - inline template:1:2 caused by: AmCharts is not defined
ReferenceError: AmCharts is not defined
This project has been created using angular-cli and we've recently upgraded angular to version 2.2.1.
Here is angular-cli.json and karma.conf.js:

I just found out I have to declare amcharts in karma configuration file, like this:
module.exports = function (config) {
config.set({
basePath: '',
frameworks: ['jasmine', 'angular-cli'],
plugins: [
require('karma-jasmine'),
require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
require('karma-remap-istanbul'),
require('angular-cli/plugins/karma')
],
files: [
{ pattern: './src/test.ts', watched: false },
"./public/assets/js/highlight.pack.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/amcharts.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/xy.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/gauge.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/serial.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/pie.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/themes/light.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/themes/dark.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/themes/black.js",
"./node_modules/amcharts3/amcharts/plugins/responsive/responsive.min.js"
],
preprocessors: {
'./src/test.ts': ['angular-cli']
},
mime: {
'text/x-typescript': ['ts','tsx']
},
remapIstanbulReporter: {
reports: {
html: 'coverage',
lcovonly: './coverage/coverage.lcov'
}
},
angularCli: {
config: './angular-cli.json',
environment: 'dev'
},
reporters: config.angularCli && config.angularCli.codeCoverage
? ['progress', 'karma-remap-istanbul']
: ['progress'],
port: 9876,
colors: true,
logLevel: config.LOG_INFO,
autoWatch: true,
browsers: ['Chrome'],
singleRun: false
});
};
