jasmine angular 4 unit test router.url












1















I am unit testing a function in angular 4 project using jasmine which a switch statement like mentioned below:



    switch(this.router.url) {

case 'firstpath': {
// some code
}
break;
case 'secondpath': {
// some more code
}
break;
default:
break;

}


In my spec.ts file. I can't stub or change the value of router.url.I want my cases to execute but default is executing. I tried different ways to set or spyOn and return value, but everytime url is '/'. Every suggestion or solution will be welcomed.

          First you need to mock router in your testing module:



          TestBed.configureTestingModule({
          ...
          providers: [
          {
          provide: Router,
          useValue: {
          url: '/path'
          } // you could use also jasmine.createSpyObj() for methods
          }
          ]
          });


          You can also change the url in the test and run your tested method:



          const router = TestBed.get(Router);
          router.url = '/path/to/anything';
          // now you can run your tested method:
          component.testedFunction();


          As you mention spyOn doesnt work because it works only for methods/functions. But url is a property.
