Getting started with Ionic/Angular unit testing controllers with jasmine - angularjs

Question

I have been trying to write unit tests for angular controller in Ionic framework with jasmine and karma. Here is my controller.
angular.module('starter').controller('LoginCtrl', ['$scope', 'AuthService', '$ionicPopup', '$state', function LoginCtrl($scope, AuthService, $ionicPopup, $state) {
$scope.user = {
name: '',
password: ''
};
$scope.login = function() {
AuthService.login($scope.user).then(function(msg) {
$state.go('inside');
}, function(errMsg) {
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Login failed!',
template: errMsg
});
});
};
}]);
angular.module('starter').controller('RegisterCtrl', ['$scope', 'AuthService', '$ionicPopup', '$state', function RegisterCtrl($scope, AuthService, $ionicPopup, $state) {
$scope.user = {
name: '',
password: ''
};
$scope.signup = function() {
AuthService.register($scope.user).then(function(msg) {
$state.go('outside.login');
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Register success!',
template: msg
});
}, function(errMsg) {
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Register failed!',
template: errMsg
});
});
};
}]);
angular.module('starter').controller('InsideCtrl', ['$scope', 'AuthService', 'API_ENDPOINT', '$http', '$state', function InsideCtrl($scope, AuthService, API_ENDPOINT, $http, $state) {
$scope.destroySession = function() {
AuthService.logout();
};
$scope.getInfo = function() {
$http.get(API_ENDPOINT.url + '/memberinfo').then(function(result) {
$scope.memberinfo = result.data.msg;
});
};
$scope.logout = function() {
AuthService.logout();
$state.go('outside.login');
};
}]);
angular.module('starter').controller('AppCtrl', ['$scope', '$state', '$ionicPopup', 'AuthService', 'AUTH_EVENTS', function AppCtrl($scope, $state, $ionicPopup, AuthService, AUTH_EVENTS) {
$scope.$on(AUTH_EVENTS.notAuthenticated, function(event) {
AuthService.logout();
$state.go('outside.login');
var alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
title: 'Session Lost!',
template: 'Sorry, You have to login again.'
});
});
}]);
})(reader || (reader = {}));
I want to have this 3 test suits:
Should call login on $AuthService Service
If login successful, should change state to inside
If login unsuccessful, should show a popup error message
I em try to write som test but i thin that i am not injecting the controller properly. Here is the code for my tests:
describe('LoginCtrl', function() {
var $controller,
LoginCtrl,
controller,
deferredLogin,
$scope,
AuthServiceMock,
stateMock,
ionicPopupMock;
// load the module for our app
beforeEach(angular.mock.module('starter'));
// disable template caching
beforeEach(angular.mock.module(function($provide, $urlRouterProvider) {
$provide.value('$ionicTemplateCache', function(){} );
$urlRouterProvider.deferIntercept();
}));
// instantiate the controller and mocks for every test
beforeEach(angular.mock.inject(function(_$controller_, $q, $rootScope) {
deferredLogin = $q.authToken();
$scope = $rootScope.$new();
// mock dinnerService
AuthServiceMock = {
login: jasmine.createSpy('login spy')
.and.returnValue(deferredLogin.promise)
};
// mock $state
stateMock = jasmine.createSpyObj('$state spy', ['go']);
// mock $ionicPopup
ionicPopupMock = jasmine.createSpyObj('$ionicPopup spy', ['alert']);
// instantiate LoginController
$controller = _$controller_;
}));
describe('login function', function() {
// call doLogin on the controller for every test
beforeEach(inject(function(_$rootScope_) {
$rootScope = _$rootScope_;
var user = {
name: 'Boris',
password: 'Boris'
};
$scope.login(user);
}));
it('should call login on $AuthService Service', function() {
LoginCtrl = $controller('LoginCtrl', {
'$scope': $scope,
'$state': stateMock,
'$ionicPopup': ionicPopupMock,
'$AuthService': AuthServiceMock
});
console.log(LoginCtrl);
expect(LoginCtrl).toBeDefined();
});
describe('when the login is executed,', function() {
xit('if successful, should change state to inside', function() {
deferredLogin.resolve();
$rootScope.$digest();
expect(stateMock.go).toHaveBeenCalledWith('inside');
});
xit('if unsuccessful, should show a popup', function() {
deferredLogin.reject();
$rootScope.$digest();
expect(ionicPopupMock.alert).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
});
});
Here is my Karma file settings
files: [
'www/lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js',
'www/js/*.js',
'www/lib/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js',
'www/spec/*.js'
],
