Unit testing Angular Jasmine Karma












-1















I'm learning Unit testing and I've



   @Input() showSearchTab: Boolean = false;
@Input() currentTab: string = null;

ngOnInit(): void {
if (this.showSearchTab) {
this.currentTab = 'search';
}
}


This is the unit test:



describe('ngOnInit()', () => { 
it('should set all the defaults', () => {
specManager.component.ngOnInit();
expect(specManager.component.currentTab).toBe('search');
});
});


I get an error expected null to be 'search'

Following your component test, at the moment the test hits the expectation, showSearchTab is set to false, so it doesn't pass the if condition. To have a fully tested scenario, you should do:



describe('ngOnInit()', () => {
describe('and showSearchTab is set to false', () => {
it('should set all the defaults', () => {
specManager.component.showSearchTab = false;
specManager.component.ngOnInit();
expect(specManager.component.currentTab).toBeNull();
});
});

describe('and showSearchTab is set to true', () => {
it('should set all the defaults', () => {
specManager.component.showSearchTab = true;
specManager.component.ngOnInit();
expect(specManager.component.currentTab).toEqual('search');
});
});
});

    As per your logic in ngOnInit function currentTab will have value search if showSearchTab is true.



    Thus, before invoking specManager.component.ngOnInit() in your test case, set specManager.component.currentTab = true;
