I'm having modal service to open, confirm and close dialog and i am making its unit test file but i got and error on Angular and this is the code.
modal.service.ts
@Injectable()
export class ModalService {
constructor(private dialog: MatDialog) { }
public open<modalType>(modalComponent: ComponentType<modalType>): Observable<any> {
let dialogRef: MatDialogRef<any>;
dialogRef = this.dialog.open(modalComponent, {
maxWidth: '100vw'
});
console.log(dialogRef)
dialogRef.componentInstance.body = body;
return dialogRef.afterClosed().pipe(map(result => console.log('test'); );
}
}
modal.service.spec.ts
export class TestComponent {}
describe('ModalService', () => {
let modalService: ModalService;
const mockDialogRef = {
open: jasmine.createSpy('open')
};
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [ MatDialogModule ],
providers: [
ModalService,
MatDialogRef,
{ provide: MatDialog, useClass: MatDialogStub }
]
}).compileComponents();
modalService = TestBed.get(ModalService);
}));
it('open modal', () => {
modalService.open(DummyComponent, '300px');
expect(modalService.open).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
So with that code the error is
TypeError: Cannot read property 'componentInstance' of undefined
Can you help me how to make this successful? Help is much appreciated.
Testing mat-dialogs can be tricky. I tend to use a spy object for the return from a dialog open (dialogRefSpyObj below) so I can more easily track and control tests. In your case it might look something like the following:
describe('ModalService', () => {
let modalService: ModalService;
let dialogSpy: jasmine.Spy;
let dialogRefSpyObj = jasmine.createSpyObj({ afterClosed : of({}), close: null });
dialogRefSpyObj.componentInstance = { body: '' }; // attach componentInstance to the spy object...
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [MatDialogModule],
providers: [ModalService]
});
modalService = TestBed.get(ModalService);
});
beforeEach(() => {
dialogSpy = spyOn(TestBed.get(MatDialog), 'open').and.returnValue(dialogRefSpyObj);
});
it('open modal ', () => {
modalService.open(TestComponent, '300px');
expect(dialogSpy).toHaveBeenCalled();
// You can also do things with this like:
expect(dialogSpy).toHaveBeenCalledWith(TestComponent, { maxWidth: '100vw' });
// and ...
expect(dialogRefSpyObj.afterClosed).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
I have a better solution that still works on 2019
header.component.ts
import { BeforeLogOutComponent } from '@app-global/components/before-log-out/before-log-out.component';
/**
* The method triggers before the logout.
* Opens the dialog and warns the user before log Out.
*/
public beforeLogOut(): void {
this._dialog.open(BeforeLogOutComponent, { width: '400px', disableClose: false, panelClass: 'dialog_before_log_out' })
.afterClosed()
.subscribe((res) => {
if (res && res.action === true) { this.loggedOut(); }
}, err => {
console.error(err);
});
}
header.component.spec.ts
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
<<-- Create a MatDialog mock class -->>
export class MatDialogMock {
// When the component calls this.dialog.open(...) we'll return an object
// with an afterClosed method that allows to subscribe to the dialog result observable.
open() {
return {
afterClosed: () => of({action: true})
};
}
}
describe('HeaderComponent', () => {
let component: HeaderComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<HeaderComponent>;
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
MaterialModule, RouterTestingModule, HttpModule, BrowserAnimationsModule,
HttpClientModule, FlexLayoutModule,
],
declarations: [
HeaderComponent,
],
providers: [
{ provide: MatDialog, useClass: MatDialogMock } <<-- look this
]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(async() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(HeaderComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
component.ngOnInit();
component.ngAfterViewInit();
await fixture.whenStable();
fixture.detectChanges();
});
fit('should create', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
// I test the dialog here.
fit('should open the dialog', () => {
component.beforeLogOut();
});
}
I do not have the exact answer for your case but I also did some tests on MatDialog
. I can show you what I did. Maybe look at the inject()
part:
(I deleted some things for clarity and confidentiality)
describe('MyDialogComponent', () => {
let dialog: MatDialog;
let overlayContainer: OverlayContainer;
let component: MyDialogComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyDialogComponent>;
const mockDialogRef = {
close: jasmine.createSpy('close')
};
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
BrowserAnimationsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
AngularMaterialModule,
],
providers: [
{ provide: MatDialogRef, useValue: mockDialogRef },
{
provide: MAT_DIALOG_DATA,
useValue: {
title: 'myTitle',
}
}
],
declarations: [MyDialogComponent],
});
TestBed.overrideModule(BrowserDynamicTestingModule, {
set: {
entryComponents: [MyDialogComponent]
}
});
TestBed.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(inject([MatDialog, OverlayContainer],
(d: MatDialog, oc: OverlayContainer) => {
dialog = d;
overlayContainer = oc;
})
);
afterEach(() => {
overlayContainer.ngOnDestroy();
});
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyDialogComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
fixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should create', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
it('onCancel should close the dialog', () => {
component.onCancel();
expect(mockDialogRef.close).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
