I have an spec that test's if the method in scope was called (see below)
describe("Event Module tests", function () {
var scope, simpleController;
beforeEach(module('SimpleApplication'));
beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) {
scope = $rootScope.$new();
simpleController = $controller("SimpleController", {
$scope: scope
});
}));
it("Scope function should be triggered", function () {
spyOn(scope, "trigger");
scope.trigger();//invoke the function on controller
expect(scope.trigger).toHaveBeenCalled();//Passes
expect(scope.isTriggered).toBeTruthy();//Fails
});
});
Application Code(Code to be tested):
angular
.module("SimpleApplication", [])
.controller("SimpleController", function ($scope) {
$scope.message = "Hello World";
$scope.isTriggered = false;
$scope.trigger = function() {
$scope.isTriggered = true;
};
});
Jasmine reports that "Expected false to be truthy.". How come ? since the method sets it to true !!
Update:
For some reason, SpyOn was mutating my object to something it was intended for. So below piece of code works good
it("Scope function should be triggered", function () {
scope.trigger();//invoke the function on controller
expect(scope.isTriggered).toBeTruthy();//Now Passes
});
