How do I Spy on and Mock a Service with another service Parameter? Example, My New Authservice has this parameter,
export class AuthService{
constructor(public serviceAbcd: ServiceAbcd) {}
This is an example resource, Without a constructor parameter on AuthService.
https://codecraft.tv/courses/angular/unit-testing/mocks-and-spies/
describe('Component: Login', () => {
let component: LoginComponent;
let service: AuthService;
let spy: any;
beforeEach(() => {
service = new AuthService();
component = new LoginComponent(service);
});
it('needsLogin returns true when the user has not been authenticated', () => {
spy = spyOn(service, 'isAuthenticated').and.returnValue(false);
expect(component.needsLogin()).toBeTruthy();
expect(service.isAuthenticated).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
afterEach(() => {
service = null;
component = null;
});
});
We are trying to test without Testbed https://dev.to/angular/unit-testing-in-angular-to-testbed-or-not-to-testbed-3g3b
You can use angular's Testbed
and inject the service
import { ComponentFixture, TestBed, waitForAsync } from '@angular/core/testing';
describe('Component: Login', () => {
let service: AuthService;
beforeEach(waitForAsync(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
],
declarations: [LoginComponent]
})
.compileComponents();
service = Testbed.inject(AuthService);
}));
it('needsLogin returns true when the user has not been authenticated', () => {
spy = spyOn(service, 'isAuthenticated').and.returnValue(false);
expect(component.needsLogin()).toBeTruthy();
expect(service.isAuthenticated).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
afterEach(() => {
service = null;
component = null;
});
}
