I am new to Karma/Jasmine testing and I'm attempting to set up a test for my service which performs a GET request. I'm using the XHRBackend with a MockBackend object to simulate fake requests and responses. I have a 'webService' which is the one performing the GET and an 'authService' which holds the connection string and the access token. I've set this test up as follows:
describe('WebService Tests', () => {
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [HttpModule],
providers: [
AuthService,
AdalService,
WebServicesService,
{ provide: XHRBackend, useClass: MockBackend }
]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(inject([Http, XHRBackend], (http: Http, be: MockBackend) => {
backend = be;
authService = new AuthService(new AdalService(), http);
webService = new WebServicesService(http, authService);
fakeWebServicesData = makeServicesData;
let webOptions = new ResponseOptions({status: 200, body: {data: fakeWebServicesData}})
webResponse = new Response(webOptions);
}));
it('should have expected successful GET of WebServices', async(inject([], () => {
backend.connections.subscribe((c: MockConnection) => c.mockRespond(webResponse));
webService.getWebServices().toPromise()
.then(data => {
expect(data.length).toBe(fakeWebServicesData.length,
'should have received all web services data');
})
})))
The response I receive is of a failure because data.length is undefined, and it was expected to be 1 (the fake data I'm using is of length 1). I'm a bit unsure as to why this is happening. The method it is calling is as follows:
getWebServices(): Observable<WebService[]> {
let connection = this.authService.connection + '/services';
// Add authorization header with jwt token
let token = this.authService.getToken();
let headers = new Headers({ 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token });
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
// Get services from web service api endpoint
return this.http.get(connection, options)
.map((response: Response) => response.json())
.catch((error: Response) => {
return Observable.throw(error);
});
}
My suspicion is that because I haven't yet logged in with the AuthService before I make the mock request, that maybe it returns undefined. Do I need to login with my authService before setting up this mock request? (e.g. do a mock login prior?) If so, how do I perform two mock requests in a row within the same test? Or is there a different way to fake the authentication? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
UPDATE: This is my fake data
