TypeError: jasmine.createSpyObj is not a function

Viewed 8676

I need to unit test a component method that does not return a Promise, but internally calls a method in a service that does, and so unit test execution returns immediately to the 'it' block. This results in objects that I am supposed to look at for certain values to not yet be assigned. Angular documentation suggests that I use a Spy object. This seems to be exactly what I need. Unfortunately, even the most basic of unit tests won't let me create a Spy object.

The following code...

describe('my unit test', () => {

    var myService;

    beforeEach(() => {
        myService = jasmine.createSpyObj('myService', ['myMethodOne', 'myMethodTwo']);
        myService.myMethodOne();
    });

    it("my service test", () => {
        expect(myService.myMethodOne).toBeDefined();
        expect(myService.myMethodOne).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });

});

Fails with...

>npm test

> iwp-app@0.0.0 test D:\Users\brock\Source
> jest

Jest doesn't have a function named createSpyObj() like default jasmine has , please visit this link Jest createSpyObj which is a custom createSpyObj function in jest or just switch to jasmine instead
