Testing service in Angular returns module is not defined

Question

I am trying to run the default service unit test in my project (Taken from the Angular Seed project on GitHub), but I keep getting the error \"module is not defined\".

Answer 1

The window.module function comes in angular-mocks.js and is a shorthand for angular.mock.module. As mentioned in the docs, the module function only works with Jasmine.

Using Testacular, the following example configuration file will load angular-mocks.js.

/** example testacular.conf.js */

basePath = '../';
files = [
  JASMINE,
  JASMINE_ADAPTER,
  'path/to/angular.js',
  'path/to/angular-mocks.js',   // for angular.mock.module and inject.
  'src/js/**/*.js',             // application sources
  'test/unit/**/*.spec.js'      // specs
];
autoWatch = true;
browsers = ['Chrome'];

And, as suggested elsewhere, you can run Testacular with debug logging to see what scripts are loaded (you can also see the same in the inspector):

testacular --log-level debug start config/testacular.conf.js

The angular.mock.inject docs include a pretty complete example.
