Catching variable set in timeout in Angular/Jasmine test - angularjs

Question

In this Angular/Jasmine example I have a controller with a promise and a $timeout.
The test fails because a variable set in the $timeout is undefined. Other variables not set inside the $timeout don't have this problem.
Only this expect fails, the others work:
expect($scope.notes).toBe(notes);
I used $timeout.flush() to wait but it is ignored. Any ideas how to fix this?

angular.module("mymodule", [])
.service('myHttp', function($http){
this.call = function($q) {
var defer = $q.defer();
$http({url:"gothere"})
.then(function (response) {
defer.resolve(response);
});
return defer.promise;
};
})
.controller('ctl', function($scope,$timeout,myHttp) {
$scope.read = function (id){
var data = {};
data.id = id;
myHttp.call({url:'/getRecord', data:data})
.then(function(response) {
$scope.id = response.id;
$scope.name = response.nm;
$scope.descrip = response.dsc;
$timeout(function(){
$scope.notes = response.nts;
},1000);
});
};
});

$controller('ctl', {
$scope: $scope,
$timeout: $timeout,

});
$scope.read(1)
$timeout.flush(2000);
}));
it('should resolve promise', function () {
var id = 1;
var name = "John";
var descrip = "This is the description";
var notes = "These are the notes";
var obj = {
id: id,
nm: name,
dsc: descrip,
nts: notes
};
deferred.resolve(obj);
$scope.$apply();
expect($scope.id).toBe(id);
expect($scope.name).toBe(name);
expect($scope.descrip).toBe(descrip);
expect($scope.notes).toBe(notes);
});
});

Answer 1

Give a timeout to read the variable :
it("should be proper after timeout", function(){
expect($scope.notes).toBe(notes);
}, 1000)

Answer 2

The answer is: use $timeout.flush() after $scope.apply();
$scope.$apply();
$timeout.flush();
