I am trying to unit test an Angular Component with Karma Jasmine for the very first time.
My index.html looks like :
<body ng-app="heroApp">
<!-- components match only elements -->
<div ng-controller="MainCtrl as ctrl">
<b>Hero</b><br>
<hero-detail hero="ctrl.hero"></hero-detail>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And index.js looks like :
(function(angular) {
'use strict';
angular.module('heroApp', []).controller('MainCtrl', function MainCtrl() {
this.hero = {
name: 'Miles Bronson'
};
});
})(window.angular);
And the component heroDetail.js looks like :
(function(angular){
'use strict';
function HeroDetailController(){
}
angular.module('heroApp').component('heroDetail',{
template:'<span>Name: {{$ctrl.hero.name}}</span>',
controller:HeroDetailController,
bindings:{
hero: '='
}
});
})(window.angular);
Now my karma spec file looks like :
describe('Component:heroDetailComponent',function(){
beforeEach(function(){
module('heroApp');
});
var element,
scope;
beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope,$compile){
scope = $rootScope.$new();
scope.hero = {
name:'Miles Bronson'
};
element = angular.element('<hero-detail hero="hero"></hero-detail>');
element = $compile(element)(scope);
scope.$apply();
}));
it('should render the text',function(){
expect(element.isolateScope().hero.name).toBe('Miles Bronson');
});
});
But this failed. Saying :
Chrome 55.0.2883 (Windows 8.1 0.0.0) Component:heroDetailComponent should render the text FAILED
TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
at Object.<anonymous> (test/controllers/main-controller-spec.js:38:43)

What am I doing wrong ? Please help.
UPDATE
Though this works :
it('should render the text',function(){
var span = element.find('span');
expect(span.text()).toBe('Name: Miles Bronson');
});
