I'm trying to test my code with jasmine and karma.
When I test a method that returns a value it's ok. But my problem is how can I test a void method (that return nothing) for example this one:
public aj(a: Array<x>, p: x) {
if (a.indexOf(p) < 0) {
a.push(p);
}
}
With this function I check if an array of object `x contains an object or no.
If it is not the case I add it to the array. That's all.
I test it this way
it('', () => {
let component= new synthese(consoService);
let x = [pHC,pHP]
spyOn(component,'aj');
expect(component.aj(x,pI)).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
I got this error
Error: <toHaveBeenCalled> : Expected a spy, but got undefined.
Usage: expect(<spyObj>).toHaveBeenCalled()
Can anyone help me, please? I tried but I always get errors.
Change your code like this:
it('', () => {
const component = new synthese(consoService);
const x = [pHC, pHP]; // maybe you should check this, shouldn't it be let x = ['pHC','pHP']; ?
component.aj(x, pI); // maybe you should check this, shouldn't it be component.aj(x, 'pI'); ?
// check pI is in the array now since that's what the method does, push the element if it is not in the array
expect(x).toContain(pl); // I used pI, but maybe check for 'pI' as my previous recommendations.
});
