Testing element directive - can't access isolated scope methods during tests

Question

I have the following directive.

directivesModule.directive(\'wikis\', function() {
var urlRegex = new RegExp(\'^(https?)://.+$\');

return {
    restrict: \         


        

Answer 1

As per angular 1.2.0 docs, the way to get the isolate scope is through the method isolateScope

• scope() - retrieves the scope of the current element or its parent.

• isolateScope() - retrieves an isolate scope if one is attached directly to the current element. This getter should be used only on elements that contain a directive which starts a new isolate scope. Calling scope() on this element always returns the original non-isolate scope.
