Unit testing in angular2, dependency injection

Question

Starting out with angular 2 after spending time with angular 1. Not having unit tested this much as it\'s more of a side project thing, I\'m trying at least start out OK...

Answer 1

For testing, you should use the RouterTestingModule instead of the RouterModule. If you want to add routes you can use withRoutes

imports: [
  RouterTestingModule.withRoutes(Routes) // same any normal route config
]
