Tests for app "run" block

[Sergio Rinaudo]

Hi all,
I have some logic in the run block of my app

file app.js
app.config(
     // routes etc..
)..run(
    // logic here
);

this logic have to run only once when the user enters the app,
for example an async request to get the user session data.

I would like to set up tests for this block, but after lots of searching I
couldn't find any way to do so.

I would like to follow all the best practices, so, the first question is,
is the run block the correct point to do this kind of checking?
If not, what would be a better solution?
Please note that I did not use the resolve property because the application needs this checking
in every module but just once (when the use enter th app, that could be any controller).

I hope that someone could enlight me!

Regards

If you had an InitializationService that did all this work, then it would easy to test like any other service, and the run block would be simplified to merely calling the Init service.

Could you provide a simple example?

Currently, I have something like this

- A LoggedInLoader that is a Service that returns a promise.

- This service is called in the run block

If a try to run tests I get this error

Error: Unexpected request: GET /url/to/service
No more request expected in app/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js (line 960)

I am really stuck here...

Sounds like you are struggling with $httpBackend. 

Do you have a line like this?

1. $httpBackend.when('GET', '/url/to/service').respond({userId: 'userX'}, {'A-Token': 'xxx'});
2.  

[Sergio Rinaudo]

Yes, this is exactly what I have inside the test.
