How to test on destroy scope

Question

How to unit testing an $destroy event of a Directive in angularjs?

I have the code in my directive:

scope.$on(\'$destroy\', function () {
    //clean som

Angular's isolateScope is preferable to using jQuery. You've probably compiled the element in a beforeEach above your test like this:

myEl = '
MY EL
';
scope = $rootScope.$new();
directiveElement = $compile(myEl)(scope);
scope.$digest();

Now in your test you can access the isolateScope and call $destroy:

var isolated = directiveElement.isolateScope();
isolated.$destroy();
