How do I test an AngularJS service with Jasmine?

Question

(There is a related question here: Jasmine test does not see AngularJS module)

I just want to test a service without bootstrapping Angular.

I have look at so

Answer 1

I needed to test a directive that required another directive, Google Places Autocomplete, I was debating on whether I should just mock it... anyway this worked with out throwing any errors for the directive that required gPlacesAutocomplete.

describe('Test directives:', function() {
    beforeEach(module(...));
    beforeEach(module(...));
    beforeEach(function() {
        angular.module('google.places', [])
        .directive('gPlacesAutocomplete',function() {
            return {
                require: ['ngModel'],
                restrict: 'A',
                scope:{},
                controller: function() { return {}; }
             };
        });
     });
     beforeEach(module('google.places'));
});
