test cases failing when running ng test in angular2.0 with angular2-material components


I am using angular2.0 in my application

I installed angular2-material components and imported in required modules

I tried writing test case for one of my components

//about.component.html

<md-card>
    <h3>{{title}}</h3>
    <md-card-content>
           <button md-raised-button class="md-raised md-primary primary-bg" (click)="fnnavigate()">CHOOSE </button> 
    </md-card-content>
</md-card>

//about.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router} from '@angular/router';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-about',
  templateUrl: 'about.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['about.component.css']
     })

    export class AboutComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor(
    private router: Router
  ) { }

  title:string="welcome";

  ngOnInit() {

  }

  fnnavigate() {
    this.router.navigateByUrl('app/home1');
  }
}

//about.component.spec.ts

import { ComponentFixture, TestBed  } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { By }              from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DebugElement }    from '@angular/core';
import { async, inject } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AboutComponent } from './about.component';
import { Router} from '@angular/router';

class RouterStub {
  navigateByUrl(url: string) { return url }
}



let comp: AboutComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<AboutComponent>;


describe('Component: About', () => {


  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [AboutComponent], 
     providers: [
        { provide: Router, useClass: RouterStub }
      ]
     });

     fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AboutComponent);
     comp = fixture.componentInstance; 

  });
   it('should have title property', () => {
    comp.ngOnInit();
    expect(comp.title).toBe("welcome");
   });

  it('should tell ROUTER to navigate when button clicked',
     inject([Router], (router: Router) => {
       comp.fnNavigate(); // trigger >
        ...................
    }));

});

//package.json

when I do ng test, I get:

Error: Template parse errors:
        'md-card-content' is not a known element:
        1. If 'md-card-content' is an Angular component, then verify that it is

        2. If 'md-card-content' is a Web Component then add "CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCH

Is there any way to fix this problem ?


Solution

  • The same way you imported the MdWhateverModule into your main application, you should also import it into the test bed configuration

    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [ MdWhateverModule ],
      declarations: [ AboutComponent ]
    })
    

    Using the test bed, you're pretty much starting from scratch in creating a module for the test environment. So you need to include everything you're going to use for this test of the AboutComponent.
