How to test behavior in the link function of a directive

Question

In some of my directives, I\'m adding functions to the scope to handle logic specific for the directive. For example:

link: function(scope, element, attrs) {         


        

Answer 1

 it('should get called on a click', inject(function($rootScope, $compile) {
   var scope = $rootScope.$new();
   element = $compile('
')(scope);
   scope.$digest();
   expect(scope.$$childHead.doIt()).toBeDefined();
 }));

Using this $$childHead was the solution for me to the same problem, with this I can cover functions that weren't being called in my tests.
