Angular2+ testcase shows No provider for NgControl

Question

I am trying to test an angular component which has quite a lot of dependencies. But the test case expect(component).toBeTruthy(); fails with the Error: No Provider for NgControl. The full error message is the following:

I already included stuff like FormsModule and RouterTestingModule but it still does not work.

describe('configurator component unit tests', () => {
  let configurator: ConfiguratorComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<ConfiguratorComponent>;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      providers: [
        ProductsService,
        OrdersService,
        UdiService,
        CustomersService,
        TranslateService,
        {
          provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: {
            params: Observable.of({ id: 'test' })
          }
        }
      ],
      declarations: [
        ConfiguratorComponent,
        LoginComponent,
        ForgotpasswordComponent,
        ResetpasswordComponent,
        RegisterComponent,
        ContactComponent,
        CustomerComponent,
        HomeComponent,
        PageNotFoundComponent],
      imports: [
        FormsModule,
        CommonModule,
        TranslateModule,
        MatProgressSpinnerModule,
        MatButtonModule,
        ElementsModule,
        ViewerModule,
        OrdersModule,
        RouterTestingModule],
      schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA]
    }).compileComponents(
    ).then(() => {
        fixture = TestBed.createComponent(ConfiguratorComponent);
    configurator = fixture.componentInstance;
    });
  }));

So I am clearly missing some module but which one? I am fairly new to angular test bed.

angular version: 5.2 karma version: 2.0.2 karma-jasmine version: 1.1.1

Oh, and it might be a duplicate of that one but since this one never got answered after the suggestions I added I thought it is okay. :S Angular2 testcase shows No provider for NgControl

Answer 1

To help consolidate answers: Initially you were missing ReactiveFormsModule.

To answer your second question, you need to provide the TranslateStore in your providers array for the Testbed
