Unit testing promises in AngularJS with arguments - angularjs

Question

We're unit testing our services and facing issue spying on methods with arguments of dependent services.
I am writing unit tests for ServiceA
ServiceA.js
angular.module("App").service("ServiceA", function($http, ServiceB) {
this.detail = null;
this.method = function(id){
var sevrB = new ServiceB();
return sevrB.getId(1).then(function(response) {
this.detail = response.data;
});
};
});
ServiceB.js (is a factory)
(function () {
var dependencies = [
'../module'
];
define(dependencies, function (module) {
return module.factory('ServiceB', function ($http) {
var ServiceB= function () {
this.id = null;
};
ServiceB.prototype.getId = function(Id) {
return $http.get('/test/');
}
}
}());
Unit test code
describe('Testing ServiceA', function () {
var serviceA, serviceBMock;
beforeEach(function () {
var _serviceBMock = function () {
return {
getId:function(id){
return 'test';
}
};
};
angular.module('ServiceAMocks', [])
.value('ServiceB', _serviceBMock);
});
beforeEach(module('ServiceAMocks'));
beforeEach(inject(function (_ServiceA_, _ServiceB_) {
serviceA=_ServiceA_;
serviceBMock=_ServiceB_;
});
it('retrive Id', function () {
spyOn(serviceBMock,'getId').and.Return('test');
serviceA.method(1);
});
});
I am spying on getId method of ServiceB from ServiceA and if i mocked ServiceB as function i am getting error below
Error: getId() method does not exist
at jasmineInterface.spyOn
If I mock serviceB as object then i get error as
TypeError: object is not a function
var _serviceBMock = {
getId:function(id){
return 'test';
}
}
And I am not sure of testing promise in this scenario.

This version supports Jasmine 1.3
I’m injecting $q service as ServiceB wants to call method then. We can even go forward and resolve returned promise, but this is next step in testing.
Answer to previous version of question, where AngularJS injects instance of serviceB
describe('ServiceA', function () {
var serviceA, ServiceB, $q;
beforeEach(function () {
module('App');
});
beforeEach(function () {
module(function ($provide) {
$provide.value('ServiceB', {
getId: jasmine.createSpy('ServiceB.getId').andCallFake(function () {
return $q.all();
})
});
});
});
beforeEach(inject(function (_ServiceA_, _ServiceB_, _$q_) {
$q = _$q_;
serviceA = _ServiceA_;
ServiceB = _ServiceB_;
}));
describe('.method()', function () {
it('returns ServiceB.getId() argument', function () {
serviceA.method(1);
expect(ServiceB.getId).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1);
});
});
});
