I have a simple router guard and I am trying to test the canActivate( route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot )
. I can create the ActivatedRouteSnapshot like this new ActivatedRouteSnapshot()
but I cannot figure out how to create a mocked RouterStateSnapshot
.
Per the code I tried...
let createEmptyStateSnapshot = function(
urlTree: UrlTree, rootComponent: Type<any>){
const emptyParams = {};
const emptyData = {};
const emptyQueryParams = {};
const fragment = '';
const activated = new ActivatedRouteSnapshot();
const state = new RouterStateSnapshot(new TreeNode<ActivatedRouteSnapshot>(activated, []));
return {
state: state,
activated: activated
}
}
But import {TreeNode} from "@angular/router/src/utils/tree";
seems to need to be transpiled or something because I get...
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token export
at webpack:///~/@angular/router/src/utils/tree.js:8:0 <- test.bundle.ts:72431
I managed to do it slightly differently but it should work for you :
...
let mockSnapshot:any = jasmine.createSpyObj<RouterStateSnapshot>("RouterStateSnapshot", ['toString']);
@Component({
template: '<router-outlet></router-outlet>'
})
class RoutingComponent { }
@Component({
template: ''
})
class DummyComponent { }
describe('Testing guard', () => {
beforeEach(() => TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
RouterTestingModule.withRoutes([
{path: 'route1', component: DummyComponent},
{path: 'route2', component: DummyComponent},
...
])
],
declarations: [DummyComponent, RoutingComponent],
providers: [
GuardClass,
{provide: RouterStateSnapshot, useValue: mockSnapshot}
]
}).compileComponents());
it('should not allow user to overcome the guard for whatever reasons',
inject([GuardClass], (guard:GuardClass) => {
let fixture = TestBed.createComponent(RoutingComponent);
expect(guard.canActivate(new ActivatedRouteSnapshot(), mockSnapshot)).toBe(false);
})
...
I needed to get the data in the route to test for user roles in my guard, so I mocked it this way:
class MockActivatedRouteSnapshot {
private _data: any;
get data(){
return this._data;
}
}
describe('Auth Guard', () => {
let guard: AuthGuard;
let route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot;
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
providers: [AuthGuard, {
provide: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
useClass: MockActivatedRouteSnapshot
}]
});
guard = TestBed.get(AuthGuard);
});
it('should return false if the user is not admin', () => {
const expected = cold('(a|)', {a: false});
route = TestBed.get(ActivatedRouteSnapshot);
spyOnProperty(route, 'data', 'get').and.returnValue({roles: ['admin']});
expect(guard.canActivate(route)).toBeObservable(expected);
});
});
Based on a previous question I had about Router I tried this...
let mockSnapshot: any;
...
mockSnapshot = jasmine.createSpyObj("RouterStateSnapshot", ['toString']);
...
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [RouterTestingModule],
providers:[
{provide: RouterStateSnapshot, useValue: mockSnapshot}
]
}).compileComponents();
...
let test = guard.canActivate(
new ActivatedRouteSnapshot(),
TestBed.get(RouterStateSnapshot)
);
The problem I now have is that I need the toString here mockSnapshot = jasmine.createSpyObj("RouterStateSnapshot", ['toString']);
. This is because jasmine createSpyObj requires at least one mocked method. Since I am not testing the side effects of RouterStateSnapshot, this seems like extra work for nothing.
