how to properly write url in httpBackend service in unit tests

I want to mock $httpBackend.whenGet request.

I can write full url as string, but i can not uderstend with last part where i define queryExpression: "('120' != 1 AND '106' != 5)"

Example of request from console that working: 

http://localhost:9002/api/application/datapage?dataPageType=application.group.datapage.GroupDataPageQuery&pageSize=-1&propertySelection=groupName,groupId&queryExpression=(%27120%27+!%3D+1+AND+%27106%27+!%3D+5)&startIndex=0

if i past this as string in $httpBackend.whenGET( '/api/application/datapage?dataPageType=application.group.datapage.GroupDataPageQuery&pageSize=-1&propertySelection=groupName,groupId&queryExpression=(%27120%27+!%3D+1+AND+%27106%27+!%3D+5)&startIndex=0' ),

i have Unexpected Error in my unit tests

Error: Unexpected request: GET /api/application/datapage?dataPageType=application.group.datapage.GroupDataPageQuery&pageSize=-1&propertySelection=groupName,groupId&queryExpression=('120'+!%3D+1+AND+'106'+!%3D+5)&startIndex=0

I define that proplem with wrong format of queryExpression.

Solution

  • First case that it is not so urgent to mock full url for request, i can use RegExp in $httpBackend.whenGet service for match parameters without query.

    Second is what i asked and resolution is simple, using \ escape character.

    So, the result is:

    /api/application/datapage?dataPageType=application.group.datapage.GroupDataPageQuery&pageSize=-1&propertySelection=groupName,groupId&queryExpression=(\'120\'+!%3D+1+AND+\'106\'+!%3D+5)&startIndex=0
