Angular CLI Spec Test

In this tutorial, we will explore how to write tests for Angular applications using the Angular CLI's ng test command. We will focus on using Jasmine as the testing framework for writing unit tests that verify the correctness of our Angular components.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following software installed on your system:

  • Node.js and npm: Download and install
  • Angular CLI: Install globally using npm by running the command npm install -g @angular/cli
Setting up the Angular CLI Spec Test
  1. Create a new Angular project using the Angular CLI:
ng new my-app
cd my-app
  1. Create a new component using the Angular CLI:
ng generate component my-component
  1. Open the my-component.component.spec.ts file generated by the Angular CLI. This file contains the initial test suite for our component.
Writing Unit Tests

Open the my-component.component.spec.ts file and replace the existing test suite with the following code:

import { ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { MyComponent } from './my-component.component';

describe('MyComponent', () => {
  let component: MyComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyComponent>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [MyComponent]
    }).compileComponents();
  });

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should create the component', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });

  it('should have a default value for the property', () => {
    expect(component.property).toEqual('default value');
  });

  it('should update the property value on button click', () => {
    const button = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('button');
    button.click();
    fixture.detectChanges();
    expect(component.property).toEqual('updated value');
  });
});

In this example, we create a test suite using describe and define three test cases using it.

  • The first test case verifies that the component is successfully created.
  • The second test case checks whether the component has a default value for a specific property.
  • The third test case simulates a button click event and checks if the property value is updated accordingly.
Running the Tests

To run the tests, use the following command:

ng test

The Angular CLI will launch the Karma test runner and execute the tests in Chrome (by default). You will see the test results in the terminal and the browser window that opens.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to write unit tests for Angular components using the Angular CLI and Jasmine. Writing tests helps ensure the reliability and stability of your application, especially when making changes or adding new features. By following the examples and guidelines provided, you can start writing effective tests for your Angular projects.

Remember to always write tests that cover different scenarios and edge cases to increase the overall code coverage and identify potential bugs or issues. Happy testing!
