spy's andReturn triggers but fails expect(...).toHaveBeenCalled

[Greg Bacon]

[Also asked on Stack Overflow, where almost 30% of the Jasmine questions are unanswered.]

I’m trying to debug a spy on jQuery.post that isn’t firing, so as a sanity check, I tried

spyOn(this.viewModel.requests, 'submitRequest').andReturn('fooz');

var ret = this.viewModel.requests.submitRequest();
expect(ret).toEqual('foo');

expect(this.viewModel.requests.submitRequest).toHaveBeenCalled();

This fails with

Expected 'fooz' to equal 'foo'.

But when I change 'fooz' to 'foo' in the argument to andReturn, the test fails with

Expected spy on submitRequest to have been called.

The spy is returning the canned value, so why does toHaveBeenCalled fail?

Thanks,
Greg

Have you looked at the jasmine-ajax project? http://github.com/pivotal/jasmine-ajax

This stops AJAX calls at the XHR level, which gives you a much better mock/fake to deal with under test. Might be easier to find your problem.
