Angular Unit testing : Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'home/advisor'


Am working on unit testing under my angular 4.0.0 app , some method in my real component is calling manual routing via :

method(){
....
    this.navigateTo('/home/advisor');
....
}

with navigateTo is a custom routing method calling this :

  public navigateTo(url: string) {
    this.oldUrl = this.router.url;
    this.router.navigate([url], { skipLocationChange: true });
  }

i have this routing file :

import ...     // Components and dependencies

const homeRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'home', component: HomeComponent,
    children: [
      {
        path: 'registration',
        component: RegistrationComponent,
        children: [
          {
            path: 'synthese',
            component: SyntheseComponent
          },
          {
            path: 'queue',
            component: QueueComponent,
            children: [

      },
      {

        loadChildren: 'app/home/admin/admin.module#AdminModule',
        //           component: AdminComponent,
        canActivate: [AuthGuardAdmin]
      },
      {
        path: 'rb',
        loadChildren: 'app/home/rb/rb.module#RbModule',
        //        component: RbComponent

      },
      {
        path: 'application',
        component: ApplicationComponent
      },
    ]
  },

   ];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    RouterModule.forChild(homeRoutes)
  ],
  exports: [
    RouterModule
  ],
  declarations: []
})
export class HomeRoutingModule { }

Strangely , even my application goes fonctionnally well ,but the test throws this error :

Failed: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'home/advisor' Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'home/advisor'

it seems like i have some missing configuration .

Any ideas ??


Solution

  • Following my comment :

    When you want to unit test your router, you have to use the testing module, not the actual one.

    Start with

    import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
    

    Then, in your Testbed

    imports: [RouterTestingModule]
    

    Now you should be able to unit test your component

    EDIT

    To make a spy on your routing, what you have to do is

    spyOn(component.router, 'navigate').and.returnValue(true);
    

    And you expect will look like

    expect(component.router.navigate).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/home/advisor');
