I’m not sure why the way you did it doesn’t work, but I usually do it with the spyOn
function. Something like this:
describe('Testing remote call returning promise', function() {
var myService;
beforeEach(module('app.myService'));
beforeEach(inject( function(_myService_, myOtherService, $q){
myService = _myService_;
spyOn(myOtherService, "makeRemoteCallReturningPromise").and.callFake(function() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
deferred.resolve('Remote call result');
return deferred.promise;
});
}
it('can do remote call', inject(function() {
myService.makeRemoteCall()
.then(function() {
console.log('Success');
});
}));
Also remember that you will need to make a $digest
call for the then
function to be called. See the Testing section of the $q documentation.
——EDIT——
After looking closer at what you’re doing, I think I see the problem in your code. In the beforeEach
, you’re setting myOtherServiceMock
to a whole new object. The $provide
will never see this reference. You just need to update the existing reference:
beforeEach(inject( function(_myService_, $q){
myService = _myService_;
myOtherServiceMock.makeRemoteCallReturningPromise = function() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
deferred.resolve('Remote call result');
return deferred.promise;
};
}
