Tests in AngularJS: Reference error of the inject function

Question

I try to test the code below:

describe(\'myService test\', function () {
    describe(\'when I call myService.one\', function () {
        beforeEach(angular.mod         


        

Answer 1

The line where you have

beforeEach(angular.module('TargetMarketServices'));

should be

beforeEach(module('TargetMarketServices'));

If you take a look at the angular-phonecat project in test/unit/directivesSpec.js it uses

beforeEach(module('myApp.directives'));

If I modify it to use angular.module instead:

beforeEach(angular.module('myApp.directives'));

then I get this error when running testacular also:

TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'this.func.apply(this.spec)')

AngularJS provides two testing libraries:

• angular-mocks.js
• angular-scenario.js

angular-mocks is used for Jasmine and Karma testing. It publishes global methods module() and inject() to be used in your Jasmine spec tests. This means you must load the angular-mocks.js script (after you load the angular.js library/script)

angular-scenario is only used for e2e testing.
