How to trigger $onInit or $onChanges implictly in unit testing Angular component controller?

Question

I\'m using Angular 1.5.5 and Jasmine as test framework. Currently I have to do something like this so that the test passes:

function createController(bindings) {

I don't know if this will help, but for testing components I do the following

beforeEach(module('templates'));

var element;        
var scope;

beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $compile) {
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    scope.draw = new ol.source.Vector({ wrapX: false });
    element = angular.element('');
    element = $compile(element)(scope);
}));

var controller;
beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $componentController) {
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    scope.draw = new ol.source.Vector({ wrapX: false });
    controller = $componentController('customElement', {draw: new ol.source.Vector({ wrapX: false })}, { $scope: scope });
}));

and $onInit() and $onChanges() get triggered when they should be, by themselves
