Try segregating the controller injection from beforeEach block as:
var setupLoginController = function() {
inject(function($controller) {
ctrl = $controller("LoginController", {
$scope: $scope
});
});
};
and call setupLoginController() from inside the test case as:
it('should set data to "things and stuff"', function() {
setupLoginController();
expect($scope.data).toEqual({
things: 'and stuff'
});
});
