Mock dep to test service error

[Mike Spainhower]

Is the documentation at http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.services.testing_services still valid?  I am trying to mock $window in the same fashion for a service's unit test, but get the following error when $provide.value('$window', mock) is present

Error: Argument 'fn' is not a function, got Object

            at assertArg (/home/spainhower/apps/frontend/angular-piwik/vendor/angular.js:975)

            at assertArgFn (/home/spainhower/apps/frontend/angular-piwik/vendor/angular.js:986)

            at annotate (/home/spainhower/apps/frontend/angular-piwik/vendor/angular.js:2306)

            at invoke (/home/spainhower/apps/frontend/angular-piwik/vendor/angular.js:2789)

            at /home/spainhower/apps/frontend/angular-piwik/vendor/angular.js:2662

Test code here: https://github.com/mike-spainhower/angular-piwik/blob/master/test/servicesSpec.coffee

Service code here: https://github.com/mike-spainhower/angular-piwik/blob/master/lib/angular-piwik.coffee

Thanks!

I believe the trick is to return null from the module ($provide) function - as it seems you've discovered as well ;)

So, for others stumbling on to this thread, this won't work:

module ($provide) ->

      $provide.value '$window', mock

      $provide.value '$q', q

this will:

module ($provide) ->

      $provide.value '$window', mock

      $provide.value '$q', q

      null

Thanks for posting this.  It was a frustrating problem.

Angular team, it would be great if you could note this in the documentation, or throw an informative error.  I lost at least an hour on this.
