Test pipe with dependencies on services

问题

I have a pipe that sanatises HTML as below:

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';

@Pipe({
    name: 'sanitiseHtml'
})

export class SanitiseHtmlPipe implements PipeTransform {

constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}

    transform(value: any): any {
      return this._sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustHtml(value);
    }

}

I want to test it as below:

describe('Pipe: Sanatiser', () => {
    let pipe: SanitiseHtmlPipe;

    beforeEach(() => {
        pipe = new SanitiseHtmlPipe(new DomSanitizer());
    });

    it('create an instance', () => {
        expect(pipe).toBeTruthy();
    }); 
});

The DomSanatizer is an abstract class which is autowired by typescript by passing it into a constructor:

constructor(private _sanitizer: DomSanitizer) {}

Currently I get the typescript errror:

Cannot create an instance of the abstract class 'DomSanitizer'.

Does anyone know what typescript does when instantiating dependencies passed into a constructor in Angular? Or what the way to test something like this is?

回答1:

Because of the DI in your pipe, you need to configure a test environment (test bed) to resolve the dependency:

import { BrowserModule, DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { inject, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';

describe('SanitiseHtmlPipe', () => {
  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed
      .configureTestingModule({
        imports: [
          BrowserModule
        ]
      });
  });

  it('create an instance', inject([DomSanitizer], (domSanitizer: DomSanitizer) => {
    let pipe = new SanitiseHtmlPipe(domSanitizer);
    expect(pipe).toBeTruthy();
  })); 
});

just in case anyone would like to reuse the constructor of the Pipe, you can use the TestBed to acheive the same result :

  let pipe: SafeHtmlPipe;
  let sanitized: DomSanitizer

  beforeEach(async() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      providers: [DomSanitizer]
    });
    sanitized = TestBed.get(DomSanitizer);
    pipe = new SafeHtmlPipe(sanitized);
  });

  it('create an instance', () => {
    expect(pipe).toBeTruthy();
  });
