Tests fail to run properly due to parse error

The mocha_phantomjs:all grunt task is failing with SyntaxError: Parse error for me.

Could be related to ariya/phantomjs#10930. Trying to workaround it but need confirmation on how to properly set a header in grunt-mocha-phantomjs (see jdcataldo/grunt-mocha-phantomjs#6).

@d4tocchini and I discussed this. It's a known issue since Phantom it lacks support or isn't configured for some things we're doing. For now the workaround is to run tests in the browser.

I'm going to keep this issue open until I can at least provide info on how to do that and possibly make it clear that Phantom isn't working at the moment.
