EDIT: I should mention, that I only have problems during testing. When I run ng serve and use msw to serve the data everything works correctly.
I stumbled upon mswjs recently and wanted to use the mock service workers to test my frontend services without waiting on the backend team and avoid having to write mock-service classes. I setup everything according to the examples provided in the documentation.
At first I got the message that stating spec 'UserService should get list of users' has no expectations
.
I researched this and added a done()
function call at the end of my subscribe callback. After doing that, I get the following error:
Error: Timeout - Async function did not complete within 3000ms (set by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL) in node_modules/jasmine-core/lib/jasmine-core/jasmine.js (line 7609)
I already tried increasing the default_timout in Karma but even setting it to 30.000 did not change the result.
I also tried working around by using waitForAsync
without any success. This way I get no error and the test succeeds but only because it still finds no expectations within the spec.
Most example I found online do not deal with mock service workers and instead resort to using mock-services and fakeasync which does not help in my case.
This is how my code looks like:
My Angular Service:
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class UserService {
private url = 'http://localhost:3000/api/users';
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getUser(id: string): Observable<User> {
return this.http.get<User>(`${this.url}/${id}`);
}
listUsers(): Observable<User[]> {
return this.http.get<User[]>(this.url);
}
}
My Test Code:
describe('UserService', () => {
let service: UserService;
beforeAll(() => {
worker.start();
});
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [HttpClientModule],
});
service = TestBed.inject(UserService);
});
afterAll(() => {
worker.stop();
});
it('should be created', () => {
expect(service).toBeTruthy();
});
it('should get list of users', (done) => {
service.listUsers().subscribe((data) => {
expect(data.length).toBe(5);
done();
});
})
});
The Worker setup:
const handlers = [
rest.get('http://localhost:3000/api/users', (req, res, ctx) => {
return res(
ctx.status(200),
ctx.json(users))
})
]
export const worker = setupWorker(...handlers)
I managed to solve my own problem by using firstValueFrom
and waitForAsync.
I changed the code in my tests to the following:
it('should get list of users', waitForAsync(async () => {
const source$ = service.listUsers();
const result = await firstValueFrom(source$);
expect(result.length).toEqual(5);
}));
