In our Angular Controller, there are a few methods that are not on the scope variable.
Is there a way to call or execute those methods inside Jasmine tests?
Here is the main code snippet:
var testController = TestModule.controller('testController', function($scope, testService)
{
function handleSuccessOfAPI(data) {
if (angular.isObject(data))
{
$scope.testData = data;
}
}
function handleFailureOfAPI(status) {
console.log("handleFailureOfAPI executed :: status :: "+status);
}
// controller initialize function
function init() {
$scope.testData = null;
// partial URL
$scope.strPartialTestURL = "partials/testView.html;
// send test http request
testService.getTestDataFromServer('testURI', handleSuccessOfAPI, handleFailureOfAPI);
}
init();
}
Now in my jasmine test, we are passing "handleSuccessOfAPI" and "handleFailureOfAPI" method, but they are undefined.
Below is the Jasmine test code:
describe('Unit Test :: Test Controller', function() {
var scope;
var testController;
var httpBackend;
var testService;
beforeEach( function() {
module('test-angular-angular');
inject(function($httpBackend, _testService_, $controller, $rootScope) {
httpBackend = $httpBackend;
testService= _testService_;
scope = $rootScope.$new();
testController= $controller('testController', { $scope: scope, testService: testService});
});
});
afterEach(function() {
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest();
});
it('Test controller data', function (){
var URL = 'test server url';
// set up some data for the http call to return and test later.
var returnData = { excited: true };
// create expectation
httpBackend.expectGET(URL ).respond(200, returnData);
// make the call.
testService.getTestDataFromServer(URL , handleSuccessOfAPI, handleFailureOfAPI);
$scope.$apply(function() {
$scope.runTest();
});
// flush the backend to "execute" the request to do the expectedGET assertion.
httpBackend.flush();
// check the result.
// (after Angular 1.2.5: be sure to use `toEqual` and not `toBe`
// as the object will be a copy and not the same instance.)
expect(scope.testData ).not.toBe(null);
});
});
