Karma + Jasmine: Cannot read property 'getComponentFromError'

Question

I am following this tutorial: https://angular.io/guide/testing#component-test-scenarios for karma+jasmine unit testing. Here my code:

import { AppComponent }         


        

Answer 1

I ran into something similar and found the answer here: Cannot read property 'injector' of null jasmine angular 2.

I just added this to my beforeEach() method which solved this error for me (there were a few others I had to overcome before I got this all working entirely).

 TestBed.resetTestEnvironment();
 TestBed.initTestEnvironment(BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
    platformBrowserDynamicTesting());

Basically it was just a matter of changing this:

beforeEach(() => {
  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
   });
  fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
  component = fixture.componentInstance; 
  h1 = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('h1');
});

To

import { BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
platformBrowserDynamicTesting } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing';

beforeEach(() => {
 TestBed.resetTestEnvironment();
 TestBed.initTestEnvironment(BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
    platformBrowserDynamicTesting());

  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
   });
  fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
  component = fixture.componentInstance; 
  h1 = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('h1');
});
