Angular promise not resolving in jasmine

Question

I have the following jasmine test:

it(\'should resolve promise\', inject(function ($q, $rootScope) {

    function getPromise(){
        var deferred = $q.de         


        

Answer 1

I think the $rootScope.$apply() is being called too soon in your case. This should work:

function getPromise(){
    var deferred = $q.defer();
    setTimeout(function(){
        deferred.resolve(true);
        $rootScope.$apply();
    }, 1000);
    return deferred.promise;
}

Update

You can inject mock $timeout service and resolve the promise in that explicitly using $timeout.flush().

it('should resolve promise', inject(function ($q, $timeout, $rootScope) {

    function getPromise(){
        var deferred = $q.defer();
        $timeout(function(){
            deferred.resolve(true);
        }, 1000); 
        return deferred.promise;
    }

    // ...

    $timeout.flush();

    // ...
