How to test with Jasmine an AngularJS controller that calls service method that returns promise

Question

I am using v1.2.0-rc.3 of AngularJS with Jasmine test framework.

I am trying to assert that a controller calls a service method. The service method returns a promise

Answer 1

It seems I was placing my spy in the wrong place. When I place it in the beforeEach, the test passes.

  beforeEach(inject(function($controller, $rootScope, $q) {
    svc = {
      query: function () {
        def = $q.defer();
        return def.promise;
      }
    };
    spyOn(svc, 'query').andCallThrough();
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    controller = $controller('ctrl', {
      $scope: scope,
      svc: svc
    });
  }));
