how to use $timeout in unit test

[Dan Doyon]

I've hunted high and low, but am unable to find sample code for unit testing when you need $timeout. We have angular-mock library defined in the test-config. Cd someone provide example?

thx

Here you go: http://jsfiddle.net/pkozlowski_opensource/Qktpe/1/

Ioc + Jasmine is simply awesome!

Thanks for quick response Pawel, I was very close to this. I'm getting a message about $timeout being non-existent, could be a typo somewhere. Just having your working example will be of great help.

Hmmm, not having luck, I'm getting message about $timeout note being defined.

angular-mocks is loading up

Here is debug for loading modules, we're using testacular

debug (config): Resolved file /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/angular-ui/test/lib/angular-1.0.1/angular.js

debug (config): Resolved file /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/angular-ui/test/lib/angular-1.0.1/angular-mocks.js

Here is test

  describe('model change', function() {

    it('should open modal',  inject(function($timeout) {

      scope.$apply(function() {

        scope.modalShown = true;

      });

      $timeout.flush();

      expect(elm.hasClass('in')).toBe(true);

    }));

Here is error

 ReferenceError: $timeout is not defined

            at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/angular-ui/modules/directives/modal/src/modal.js:15:9)

that was the secret sauce. One thing that tripped me up is when I declared var $timeout at top of the test suite, it choked. 

thank you, thank you

You can get $timeout using $injector

inject(function($injector) {

var $timeout = $injector.get('$timeout');

//...

$timeout.flush();

})
