fr(ngMockE2E) add $httpbackend.resetBackendDefinitions

[AGoliath]

Hi there,
consider this scenario:

I have a complex e2e test scenario where I first call

$httpBackend.whenPOST(/.*/).passThrough();

until a certain point in my testcase. After that point, i´d like to exchange the mock behaviour, and remove the "passTHrough-all-POST" and replace that with very specific mock responses such as

    $httpBackend.whenPOST('/authenticate').respond(function (method, url, data, headers) {
         if (data.user == ""){
           //do stuff
            return [404,"No user found"]
        } else {
            //do stuff
            return [200,data];
        }
    });

Currently, this won´t work since the "CatchAll-POST"-Rule will passThrough() all POST requests.

This could be changed if a new method is added, might be as simple as adding this to angular-mocks.js

  $httpBackend.clearBackendDefinitions = function(){
      definitions = [];
  }

What does the community think about such a method?

why are you using ngMock in e2e tests?

[AGoliath]

first, sorry for not using the template, I just discoverd it now...

I am using ngMockE2E, not ngMock. What else would you suggest in my specific situation? It works just fine if I add the clearBackendDefinitions definition and does exactly what I need it to do, would there be a better way?

dupe of #5766

[IgorMinar]

you likely don't want to reset all definitiona but rather override it. that's what #5766 is about

Ok so will this feature be added to ngMockE2E, there should be a way of re-setting the mocked or passThrough() requests without refreshing the browser.

It is already possible to overwrite the responses without refreshing the browser. Why do you need to reset?

[KWodarczyk]

then how do i overwrite something like $httpBackend.whenPOST('/.*/').passThrough(); ?
