I have a simple component:
.html:
<h1>
{{title}}
</h1>
<button (click)="changeTitle()">Change title</button>
.ts:
export class AppComponent {
title = 'app works!';
changeTitle() {
this.title = 'New Title!';
}
}
spec:
import {TestBed, async} from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
describe('AppComponent', () => {
let fixture;
let component;
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
}).compileComponents().then(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
component = fixture.componentInsance;
});
}));
it('should create the app', async(() => {
const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
expect(app).toBeTruthy();
}));
it(`should have as title 'app works!'`, async(() => {
const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance;
expect(app.title).toEqual('app works!');
}));
it('should render title in a h1 tag', async(() => {
fixture.detectChanges();
const compiled = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;
expect(compiled.querySelector('h1').textContent).toContain('app works!');
}));
it('should change the title to `New Title!`', async(() => {
fixture.detectChanges();
spyOn(component, 'changeTitle').and.callThrough();
const compiled = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;
const button = compiled.querySelector('button');
button.click();
return fixture.whenStable().then(() => {
fixture.detectChanges();
expect(compiled.querySelector('h1').textContent).toBe('New Title!');
});
}));
});
The first 3 tests are passing, the last one returns Error: <spyOn> : could not find an object to spy upon for changeTitle()
Any idea what's wrong?
Fixed by updating:
spyOn(component, 'changeTitle').and.callThrough();
to:
jasmine.createSpy('changeTitle').and.callThrough();
