TriggerEventHandler in unit testing angular 4

问题

I had an element

<button class="next-btn" (mouseup)="someMethod()">Next</button>

I want to simulate mouseup event in testing and i do this

const nextBtnElem = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement;
const elem = nextBtnElem.getElementsByTagName('button')[1]
elem.triggerEventHandler('mouseup', null);

it doesn't work, but if i change it like this

const nextBtnElem = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('.next-btn');
nextBtnElem.triggerEventHandler('mouseup', null);

Now its working. I can't understand why first optional doesn't work?

回答1:

triggerEventHandler is a function that exists on Angular's DebugElement. In your first code snippet you are calling triggerEventHandler on a DOM object, that does not provide this functionality. On DOM objects you could use dispatchEvent but you must call fixture.detectChanges(); between triggering your event and your assertions then.
