I have been going round in circles trying to unit test a Service (AuthService
) that depends upon AngularFireAuth
.
I am trying to find a way to mock, or highjack the Observable AngularFireAuth.authState
instead of the Service actually talking to Firebase.
Here is my test spec:
import { inject, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';
import { AngularFireAuth, AngularFireAuthModule } from 'angularfire2/auth';
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/of';
// import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs/BehaviorSubject';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';
import { environment } from '../../environments/environment';
const authState: firebase.User = null;
const mockAngularFireAuth: any = { authState: Observable.of(authState) };
describe('AuthService', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebaseAppConfig)],
providers: [
{ provider: AngularFireAuth, useValue: mockAngularFireAuth },
AuthService
]
});
});
it('should be defined', inject([ AuthService ], (service: AuthService) => {
expect(service).toBeDefined();
}));
it('.authState should be null', inject([ AuthService ], (service: AuthService) => {
expect(service.authState).toBe(null);
}));
});
And here is my (simplified) Service:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFireAuth } from 'angularfire2/auth';
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
@Injectable()
export class AuthService {
private authState: firebase.User;
constructor(private afAuth: AngularFireAuth) { this.init(); }
private init(): void {
this.afAuth.authState.subscribe((authState) => {
if (authState === null) {
this.afAuth.auth.signInAnonymously()
.then((authState) => {
this.authState = authState;
})
.catch((error) => {
throw new Error(error.message);
});
} else {
this.authState = authState;
}
}, (error) => {
throw new Error(error.message);
});
}
public get currentUser(): firebase.User {
return this.authState ? this.authState : undefined;
}
public get currentUserObservable(): Observable<firebase.User> {
return this.afAuth.authState;
}
public get currentUid(): string {
return this.authState ? this.authState.uid : undefined;
}
public get isAnonymous(): boolean {
return this.authState ? this.authState.isAnonymous : false;
}
public get isAuthenticated(): boolean {
return !!this.authState;
}
public logout(): void {
this.afAuth.auth.signOut();
}
}
I get the error Property 'authState' is private and only accessible within class 'AuthService'.
Of course it is, but I don't want to actually access it — I want to mock or highjack it so I can control it's value from within my test spec. I believe I am way off-course with my code here.
Please note I am using version ^4
of AngularFire2 and there were breaking changes introduced; documented here: https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/version-4-upgrade.md
