How to properly unit test jQuery's .ajax() promises using Jasmine and/or Sinon?

Question

I\'ve got a fairly straightforward function which returns a jQuery .ajax() promise as such:

CLAW.controls.validateLocation = function(val, $inputEl) {
    re         


        

Answer 1

The solution given by @ggozad won't work if you use things like .complete().

But, hooray, jasmine made a plugin to do exactly this: http://jasmine.github.io/2.0/ajax.html

beforeEach(function() {
  jasmine.Ajax.install();
});

afterEach(function() {
  jasmine.Ajax.uninstall();
});

//in your tests
expect(jasmine.Ajax.requests.mostRecent().url).toBe('/some/cool/url');
