PhantomJs failing on angular 2 component test

Here is the code for the component I am testing:

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ContentfulService } from '../../services/index';
import * as showdown from 'showdown';

@Component({
   moduleId: module.id,
   selector: 'dt-contact-us',
   templateUrl: 'contact-us.html'
})
export class ContactUsComponent implements OnInit {
public title: string;
public text: string;
public contactFormTitle: string;
public contactFormSubtitle: string;
public address: string;
@Input() parentData: any;

constructor (private _contentService: ContentfulService) {}

ngOnInit() {
    if (this.parentData != null) {
        let converter = new showdown.Converter();

        // retreive content
        let contactUs = this._contentService.getLinkedEntry(this.parentData, this.parentData.items[0].fields.contactUs.sys.id);

        // set content
        this.title = contactUs.fields.title;
        this.text = converter.makeHtml(contactUs.fields.text);
        this.contactFormTitle = contactUs.fields.contactFormTitle;
        this.contactFormSubtitle = contactUs.fields.contactFormSubtitle;
        this.address = converter.makeHtml(contactUs.fields.address);
    }
    }
}

Pretty simple, and here is the incomplete test I am trying to just get to run properly without failing:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { ContactUsComponent } from './index';

describe("Contact Component", () => {

beforeEach(() => {

    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
        declarations: [
            ContactUsComponent
        ]
    });
});

it("can initialize component", async(() => {
    TestBed.compileComponents().then(() => {
        const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(ContactUsComponent);
    });
}));
});

When I run this I get the following error output from phantomJS:

Anyone have any ideas why this is failing even though basically nothing is being done in the test?
