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

There's one more alternative I found. Much pain free than other methods.

You can use this npm package: sinon-stub-promise.

It abstracts much of the details, so that you don't have to invent the wheel again. Helped my write my tests after struggling to simulate a promise for long.

Hope it helps!
