Load Local Json Into Jasmine/karma Unit Test In Angularjs

I'm testing a callback function which accepts a response object as it's only parameter. This object is the response of a HTTP request made elsewhere so I don't want to user $httpBa

Solution 1:

@dean-sherwin Though this might not actually answer the question, I'd like to share the piece of code that I've been using to load the json from a file for jasmine testing because:

• not always do you want to keep the huge json data in one test spec
• helps in sharing that json data across multiple specs if need be

spyOn(SomeClass, 'someMethod').and.returnValue( $.ajax({ url: "somefolder/anotherfolder/theJSONFile.json", async: false, dataType: "json" }).then(function(data) { return data }) );

Solution 2:

You can do it like this:

var LoginService, $controller;

var formFetcherService = {
    updateCachedForms: jasmine.createSpy('sessionData');
}

var response = {
    data: {
        user_id: 4,
        forms: 'some'
    }
}

beforeEach(module(function($provide) {
    $provide.value('LoginService', {
        login: function(url, username, password, successCallback, errorCallback) {
            successCallback(response);
        }
    });

    $provide.value('FormFetcherService', formFetcherService);
}))

beforeEach(inject(function(_$controller_) {
    $controller = _$controller_;
});

it('should create sessionData', function() {
    var controller = $controller('HomeController');
    controller.submitLogin();
    expect(formFetcherService.updateCachedForms).toHaveBeenCalledWith(response.user_id, response.form_uri);
});
