I am getting error as Cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined for activated route in angular 7 while unit testing .I have tried it in multiple way kindly help .
Observer.of is not working for me as i have rx.js version 6.3.3
here is my compnent file ChildComponent.ts
import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';
import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';
@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `
<h1>Enter your name</h1>
<form
[formGroup]="nameForm"
(ngSubmit)="submitForm(nameForm)"
>
<input
type="text"
formControlName="firstName"
placeholder="first"
>
<input
type="text"
formControlName="lastName"
placeholder="last"
>
<button type="submit">launch to space</button>
</form>
`,
styleUrls: ['./child.component.css']
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() nameForm: FormGroup;
private abc: number;
constructor(
public route: ActivatedRoute,
) {
this.route.queryParams.subscribe(params => {
this.abc = params['abc'];
});
}
submitForm(form: FormGroup) {
console.log(form);
// really you would be using an event emitter
}
}
here is my unit test file for child component unit test case
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { ReactiveFormsModule, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { ActivatedRoute, Router, Data, Params } from '@angular/router';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';
export class MockActivatedRoute {
private paramsSubject = new BehaviorSubject(this.testParams);
private _testParams: {};
params = this.paramsSubject.asObservable();
get testParams() {
return this._testParams;
}
set testParams(newParams: any) {
this._testParams = newParams;
this.paramsSubject.next(newParams);
}
}
import { ChildComponent } from './child.component';
describe('StaticComponent', () => {
let component: ChildComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<ChildComponent>;
class MockActivatedRoute1 extends ActivatedRoute {
constructor() {
super();
this.params = of({id: "5"});
}
}
// create new instance of FormBuilder
const formBuilder: FormBuilder = new FormBuilder();
let activeRoute: MockActivatedRoute;
beforeEach(() => {
activeRoute = new MockActivatedRoute();
});
beforeEach(
async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
declarations: [
ChildComponent
],
imports: [
CommonModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
//AppModule
],
providers: [
// reference the new instance of formBuilder from above
{ provide: FormBuilder, useValue: formBuilder },
{
provide: ActivatedRoute,
useValue: {
params: {
subscribe: (fn: (value: Data) => void) => fn({
abc: 1
})
}
}
}
]
}).compileComponents();
})
);
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(ChildComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
// pass in the form dynamically
component.nameForm = formBuilder.group({
firstName: null,
lastName: null
});
fixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should be created', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
});
You were very close! To get your test to pass, I mocked the ActivatedRoute like this:
const mockActivatedRoute = {
queryParams: of({ abc: 'testABC' })
};
And then used it in the providers array of the TestBed like this:
providers: [
...
{ provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: mockActivatedRoute }
]
Here is a working Stackblitz. In the Stackblitz, I also commented out all the other code that is no longer needed.
