Expected spy unknown to have been called

Question

I'm new to Jasmine, and am getting this error:

Expected spy unknown to have been called.

What does this mean? I'm spying on a method, but am not sure what unknown means.

Answer 1

The answer is really simple! The spy didnt have a name, so it's called "unknown" by default.

To name it, I simply did this

var mySpy = jasmine.createSpy("JamesBond");

Then it failed with something more readable!

Expected spy JamesBond to have been called.
