For scanning local file, there is a work around which can be used to scan them, following are the steps to set this up.

Update karma.config.js file with the following:

 module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        browsers: ['Chrome'],

        frameworks: ['jasmine', 'AAT'],

        // Load the local html file that you want to scan here
        files: [
            'src/**/*.html',
            "test/**/*.js"
        ],

        // Use the html2js preprocessor to convert the local html files into javascript which can be accessed in karma browser. Need to install ```karma-html2js-preprocessor``` module
        preprocessors: {
            'src/**/*.html': ['html2js']
        },

        reporters: ['progress', 'AAT'],

        ....
    });
}

Currently this is a limitation to Karma at this point, the issues is in Karma which is causing file protocol to not work in iframe src when loaded in an iframe through karma. Open issues in public karma project: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/2518
