How do I test angularjs directive to spy on the function call?

Question

Code below executes but complains about element.popover not being invoked. I can\'t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Thanks for help in advance.

dir

I got it to work.
jquery and jquery popover js files need to be loaded before angular.js during the test. This order should be specified in the testacular.conf.js file. Also, the url for http was missing ‘/’. Here is the code that is working for me:

---

angular.module('directives', []).

directive('popOver', function($http) {

  return {
    restrict: 'C',

    link: function(scope, element, attr) {
      element.bind('mouseover', function(e) {
        $http.get("someurl/" + attr.chatid + ".json").success(function(data) {
          element.popover({
            content: data.firstName + " " + data.lastName
          });
        });
      });
    }
  }
})



'user strict'

describe('directives', function() {
  beforeEach(module('directives'));
  describe('popOver', function() {
    var $scope, compile, location, $httpBackend, elm;

    beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope, $compile, _$httpBackend_) {
      $scope = $rootScope.$new();
      compile = $compile;
      $httpBackend = _$httpBackend_;
      elm = angular.element(' ');
      compile(elm)($scope);

    }));

    it('should call element.popover()', function() {
      $httpBackend.expectGET('someurl/testChatId.json').
      respond([{
        firstName: 'test',
        lastName: 'user'
      }]);
      //spyOn(elm, 'popover').andCallThrough();
      spyOn($.fn, 'popover').andCallThrough();

      elm.trigger('mouseover');
      $httpBackend.flush();

      //expect(elm.popover).toHaveBeenCalled();
      expect($.fn.popover).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });
  });
});
