Jasmine unit test for AngularJS controller - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to unit test a controller in AngularJS using Jasmine. The controller has slightly different syntax than most documentation I can find and I'm getting this error...
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.15/$injector/unpr?p0=propertiesProvider%20%3C-%20properties
The controller...
myApp.controller('myController', function($scope, $rootScope, param) {
param.info.get().then(function(example){
//...
});
});
The test js...
describe('myApp', function() {
var $scope, $rootScope, param, createController, properties;
beforeEach(module('myApp'));
debugger; //runs
beforeEach(inject(function($injector) {
debugger; //doesn't run
$rootScope = $injector.get('$rootScope');
properties = $injector.get('properties');
param = $injector.get('param');
$scope = $rootScope.$new();
var $controller = $injector.get('$controller');
createController = function() {
return $controller('myController', {
'$scope': $scope,
'$rootScope':$rootScope,
'properties':properties,
'param':param,
});
};
}));
var a;
it('should pass this basic test no matter what', function() {
a = true;
expect(a).toBe(true);
});
});
Param definition...
myApp.factory("param", function($http) {
return {
info: {
get: function() {
return $http.get(myApp.url("/param/info")).then(function(response) {
return response.data.data;
});
}
}
}
myApp.run...
myApp.run(['$http', '$rootScope', 'properties', function($http, $rootScope, properties){
...
}]);

If you look at the error carefully it says error in propertiesProvider, you are injecting properties in your test , and hence it's looking for propertiesProvider which doesn't exist . so it throws error.
If properties is an angular Service and you are injecting that in your controller , while testing you need not inject that service again to your test, angular mock takes care of that .
I'll suggest you use npm package generator-yosapy to bootstrap your controller test
