How does one stub promise with sinon?

Question

I have a data service with following function

function getInsureds(searchCriteria) {

    var deferred = $q.defer();

    insuredsSearch.get(searchCriteria,
         


        

Answer 1

You just have to resolve the promise before you call the search function. This way your stub will return a resolved promise and then will be called immediately. So instead of

var resolveStub = sinon.stub(deferred, "resolve");

you will resolve the deferred with your fake response data

deferred.resolve({insureds: results103})
