Unexpected Request Error with $HttpBackend (AngularJS) - angularjs

Question

I am using HttpBackend to mock some Http responses for some calls that my Angular app is making.
However, I am getting the error "Unexpected Request: [object Object] undefined" when I run my tests.
I know that usually this error means you're missing or mistyped one of the $http requests that the app makes so it can't find a response. But my error is not specific like the other ones which usually say like "Unexpected Request: GET api/call" so I don't know what is wrong.
Has anyone ever encountered this specific error before?
Sample Code
angular controller:
app.controller( 'ctrl',
[ '$scope' , '$http' , '$location', function( $scope, $http, $location ) {
$http.get(
"/api/1.0/id/" + id,
{
headers: getAuthHeaders()
}
).success(function( data ){ //... })]
);
jasmine test:
it('should ...', function(){
httpBackend.whenGET('/api/1.0/id/*').respond(200,{"test":"Test"});
//...
});

I tried your code and test by myself. I add a function to set the ID, but I think you have something simular:
//PRESET ID
var id = 'deajedgwe1e213df';
//FUNCTION TO CAPSULATE API CALL
this.callApi = function () {
http.get(
"/api/1.0/id/" + id,
{
//headers: getAuthHeaders()
}
).success(function( data ){
console.log('success', data);
}).error(function (err) {
console.log('error', err);
});
};
//FUNCTION TO SET ID
this.setId = function (ID) {
id = ID;
};
then I copied your test and modified it like this:
it('should ...', function(){
ctrl.setId('test123ID');
httpBackend.expectGET('/api/1.0/id/test123ID').respond(200,{"test":"Test"});
ctrl.callApi();
httpBackend.flush();
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest();
});
this works. alternative you could do this:
it('should ...', function(){
httpBackend.expectGET(/api/i).respond(200,{"test":"Test"});
ctrl.callApi();
httpBackend.flush();
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest();
});
this works too, but it only verifies, that /api has been called... I don't if this is that, what you want to test.
I think the major problem is your asterisk notation at the api-call. try to modify your code like mine. if this shouldn't help, you should have a call on your header function.
Good luck.
