I am attempting to test a component containing a text input element. I want to verify that the state of the component changes as expected when the value of the text input changes. The text input, of course, utilizes the ngModel directive (two-way binding).
Although the component works fine at runtime, I'm having trouble creating a valid, passing test. I have posted what I think should work below, and the test result following that.
What am I doing wrong?
TEST:
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {describe, it, injectAsync, TestComponentBuilder} from 'angular2/testing';
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES} from 'angular2/common';
import {By} from 'angular2/platform/common_dom';
class TestComponent {
static get annotations() {
return [
new Component({
template: '<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="name" /><p>Hello {{name}}</p>',
directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES]
})
]
}
}
describe('NgModel', () => {
it('should update the model', injectAsync([TestComponentBuilder], tcb => {
return tcb
.createAsync(TestComponent)
.then(fixture => {
fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('input').value = 'John';
const inputElement = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('input'));
inputElement.triggerEventHandler('input', { target: inputElement.nativeElement });
fixture.detectChanges();
expect(fixture.componentInstance.name).toEqual('John');
});
}));
});
OUTPUT:
Chrome 45.0.2454 (Mac OS X 10.10.5) NgModel should update the model FAILED
Expected undefined to equal 'John'.
