To get a better clue what's going wrong you may want to try:
gradle karmaRun -PkarmaDebug=true
The parameter karmaDebug controls whether or not node is called in silent mode.

In my case I could see that npm could not establish a network connection (due to missing proxy settings).

To fix the missing proxy configuration there are several options. Regarding to https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/d538811fc8b920f3f36d5f21a4c23e270367ceb0/deps/npm/doc/misc/npm-config.md a config file .npmrc can be used or the enviroment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY can be set accordingly.
