angularjs route unit testing

Question

As we see here in http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_07,

angular.module(\'phonecat\', []).
  config([\'$routeProvider\', function($routeProvider) {
  $r         


        

Answer 1

Combining the two previous answers, if you want to test the router as a black box that is successfully routing where it should (not the controller ets configs in themselves), whatever the routes might be:

// assuming the usual inject beforeEach for $route etc.
var expected = {};
it('should call the right controller for /phones route', function () { 
    expected.controller = $route.routes['/phones'].controller;
    $location.path('/phones');
    $rootScope.$digest();
    expect($route.current.controller).toBe(expected.controller);
});

it('should redirect to redirectUrl from any other route', function () {
    expected.path = $route.routes[null].redirectTo;
    $location.path('/wherever-wrong');
    $rootScope.$digest();
    expect($location.path()).toBe(expected.path);
});
