Why do I receive error … unexpected request: GET /internalapi/quotes

by

You need to tell $httpBackend to expect a GET request.

describe("MyService", function () {

   beforeEach(module('MyApp'));
   beforeEach(module("restangular"));

   var Restangular, ms;

    beforeEach(inject(function (_Restangular_, MyService) {
        ms = MyService;

        Restangular = _Restangular_;
    }));


    it("retrieveQuotes should be defined", function () {
        expect(ms.retrieveQuotes).toBeDefined();
    });

    it("retrieveQuotes should return array of quotes", inject(function ($httpBackend) {

        $httpBackend.whenGET("internalapi/quotes").respond({ hello: 'World' });

        //expect a get request to "internalapi/quotes"
        $httpBackend.expectGET("internalapi/quotes");

        ms.retrieveQuotes();
        $httpBackend.flush();
    }));

});

Alternatively you can put your respond() on your expectGET(). I prefer to put my whenGET() statements in a beforeEach() that way I do not have to define the response within every test.

        //expect a get request to "internalapi/quotes"
        $httpBackend.expectGET("internalapi/quotes").respond({ hello: 'World' });

        ms.retrieveQuotes();
        $httpBackend.flush();
