Angular Tutorial Step 11.6 - 11.10 Errors

[jannon]

On Mac OS X I'm running into the following error when trying to do the tutorial testing steps (11.6 & 11.7) that involve angular mocks

ReferenceError: window is not defined

If I comment out the angular-mocks import, I get the following error:

Error: Cannot find module '../todosList'

And, of course, commenting out the todosList import as well at least lets the testrunner proceed, but the tests error since the component it's testing isn't available.

Don't know enough about meteor/angular/mocha yet to have any idea why this is failing

I have the same issue on windows 10. have you found any solution?

@jannon I have the same issue on my mac. Did you find a solution on this problem?

Same issue on Ubuntu 16.04, meteor 1.4.3.2, any solution ?

I solved my issue by executing the test only on client. If the test running in web-browser there is no problem. angular-mocks is only imported on client side.

Here a example of unit test for a service :

/* eslint-env mocha */
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import 'meteor/practicalmeteor:mocha';

if (Meteor.isClient) {

  import { assert } from 'meteor/practicalmeteor:chai';
  import { sinon } from 'meteor/practicalmeteor:sinon';
  import 'angular-mocks';
  import { myModule } from '/imports/ui/modules/myModule';

  describe('myService', function() {
    var service;
  
    beforeEach(function() {
      window.module(myModule);
      inject(function(_myService_){
        service = _myService_;
      });
    });

    it('should contain a test array', function() {
      assert.lengthOf(service.testArray,4);
    });
  });
}

Execute the command meteor test --driver-package practicalmeteor:mocha for testing and connect the web-browser to localhost to get the results.
