angularjs unit testing (cannot find propery of 'resolve' undefined angularjs testing) - angularjs

Question

I am trying to do unit test of my angular app with karma. I am getting some error. Am i missing something? A
This my controller
(function () {
"use strict"
angular
.module("myApp")
.controller("userCtrl",['$scope', '$state', 'userService', 'appSettings','md5','currentUser','$rootScope',
function ($scope, $state, userService, appSettings,md5,currentUser, $rootScope) {
$scope.login = function() {
$scope.loading = true;
if($scope.password != null){
var user ={
username:$scope.username,
password:md5.createHash($scope.password)
}
var getData = userService.login(user);
getData.then(function (response) {
console.log(response);
$scope.loading = false;
currentUser.setProfile(user.username, response.data.sessionId);
$state.go('videos');
}, function (response) {
console.log(response.data);
});
}else{
$scope.msg = "Password field is empty!"
}
}
}])
}());
This is my test codes
'use strict';
describe('userCtrl', function() {
beforeEach(module('myApp'));
var scope, userCtrl, apiService,q, deferred, currentUser;
describe('$scope.login', function(){
beforeEach(function(){
apiService = {
login: function () {
deferred = q.defer();
return deferred.promise;
};
};
});
beforeEach(inject(function($controller, $rootScope, $q, _currentUser_){
var user ={name:'ali',password:'password'};
scope = $rootScope.$new();
q = $q;
// The injector unwraps the underscores (_) from around the parameter names when matching
userCtrl = $controller('userCtrl', {
$scope:scope,
userService:apiService
});
//userService = _userService_;
currentUser = _currentUser_;
}));
it('should call user service login', function() {
spyOn(apiService, 'login').and.callThrough();
scope.login();
deferred.resolve(user);
expect(apiService.login).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it('checks the password field', function() {
scope.login();
expect(scope.msg).toEqual('Password field is empty!');
});
});
});
And i am getting this error
enter image description here

If you have to test controller then use to spyon for service method and in case of service then use HttpBackend
describe('Testing a Controller that uses a Promise', function() {
var $scope;
var $q;
var deferred;
beforeEach(module('search'));
beforeEach(inject(function($controller, _$rootScope_, _$q_, searchService) {
$q = _$q_;
$scope = _$rootScope_.$new();
// We use the $q service to create a mock instance of defer
deferred = _$q_.defer();
// Use a Jasmine Spy to return the deferred promise
spyOn(searchService, 'search').and.returnValue(deferred.promise);
// Init the controller, passing our spy service instance
$controller('SearchController', {
$scope: $scope,
searchService: searchService
});
}));
it('should resolve promise', function() {
// Setup the data we wish to return for the .then function in the controller
deferred.resolve([{
id: 1
}, {
id: 2
}]);
// We have to call apply for this to work
$scope.$apply();
// Since we called apply, not we can perform our assertions
expect($scope.results).not.toBe(undefined);
expect($scope.error).toBe(undefined);
});
});
This for same using spyon for service method then use $appy method to make it work.
