Mocking AngularJS module dependencies in Jasmine unit tests

Question

I\'m attempting to unit test controller code inside a module that takes other modules as dependencies, but haven\'t been able to figure out how to mock them properly.

Answer 1

I recently released ngImprovedTesting that should make mock testing in AngularJS way easier.

In your case just use the following in your Jasmine test:

beforeEach(ModuleBuilder.forModule('events').serviceWithMocks('eventsCtrl').build());
