How to mock an activatedRoute parent Route in angular2 for testing purposes?

Let's say I have this

export class QuestionnaireQuestionsComponent {

    questions: Question[] = [];
    private loading:boolean = true;


    constructor(
        private route: ActivatedRoute,
        public questionnaireService:QuestionnaireService) {}

    ngOnInit(){
        this.route.parent.params.subscribe((params:any)=>{
            this.questionnaireService.getQuestionsForQuestionnaire(params.id).subscribe((questions)=>{
                this.questions = questions;
                this.loading = false;
            });
        });
    }


}

My component is actually working pretty well. Problem is that I want to unit test it but I can't figure out how to mock the this.route.parent object. Here's my test that fails

beforeEach(()=>{
    route = new ActivatedRoute();
    route.parent.params = Observable.of({id:"testId"});

    questionnaireService = jasmine.createSpyObj('QuestionnaireService', ['getQuestionsForQuestionnaire']);
    questionnaireService.getQuestionsForQuestionnaire.and.callFake(() => Observable.of(undefined));
    component = new QuestionnaireQuestionsComponent(route, questionnaireService);
});


describe("on init", ()=>{
    it("must call the service get questions for questionnaire",()=>{
        component.ngOnInit();
        expect(questionnaireService.getQuestionsForQuestionnaire).toHaveBeenCalled();
    });  
});

The test fails with this error

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this._routerState.parent') 

Using TestBed

 beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [YourComponent],
      imports: [],
      providers: [
        {
          provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: {
            params: Observable.of({ id: 'test' })
          }
        }
      ]
    })
      .compileComponents();
  }));

AcitvatedRoute is an interface according to angular2 docs, so what I did is implements a MockActivatedRoute

import {Observable} from 'rxjs';
import {Type} from '@angular/core';
import {ActivatedRoute,Route,ActivatedRouteSnapshot,UrlSegment,Params,Data } from '@angular/router';

export class MockActivatedRoute implements ActivatedRoute{
    snapshot : ActivatedRouteSnapshot;
    url : Observable<UrlSegment[]>;
    params : Observable<Params>;
    queryParams : Observable<Params>;
    fragment : Observable<string>;
    data : Observable<Data>;
    outlet : string;
    component : Type<any>|string;
    routeConfig : Route;
    root : ActivatedRoute;
    parent : ActivatedRoute;
    firstChild : ActivatedRoute;
    children : ActivatedRoute[];
    pathFromRoot : ActivatedRoute[];
    toString() : string{
        return "";
    };
}

and just replace the ActivatedRoute in my tests for MockActivatedRoute like this

beforeEach(()=>{
    route = new MockActivatedRoute();
    route.parent = new MockActivatedRoute();
    route.parent.params = Observable.of({id:"testId"});

    questionnaireService = jasmine.createSpyObj('QuestionnaireService', ['getQuestionsForQuestionnaire']);
    questionnaireService.getQuestionsForQuestionnaire.and.callFake(() => Observable.of(undefined));
    component = new QuestionnaireQuestionsComponent(route, questionnaireService);
});

For anyone new to this question the angular docs cover this scenario.

As per documentation above:

Create ActivatedRouteStub class to be used as test double for ActivatedRoute

import { ReplaySubject } from 'rxjs/ReplaySubject';
import { convertToParamMap, ParamMap, Params } from '@angular/router';

/**
 * An ActivateRoute test double with a `paramMap` observable.
 * Use the `setParamMap()` method to add the next `paramMap` value.
 */
export class ActivatedRouteStub {
  // Use a ReplaySubject to share previous values with subscribers
  // and pump new values into the `paramMap` observable
  private subject = new ReplaySubject<ParamMap>();

  constructor(initialParams?: Params) {
    this.setParamMap(initialParams);
  }

  /** The mock paramMap observable */
  readonly paramMap = this.subject.asObservable();

  /** Set the paramMap observables's next value */
  setParamMap(params?: Params) {
    this.subject.next(convertToParamMap(params));
  };
}

And then use the stub in the test class as follows:

activatedRoute.setParamMap({ id: '1234' });

To customize a mocked ActivatedRoute's data inside each 'it' block, combine what Kevin Black suggested above

beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [YourComponent],
      imports: [],
      providers: [
        {
          provide: ActivatedRoute, useValue: {
            queryParams: of({ id: 'test' })
          }
        }
      ]
    })
      .compileComponents();
  }));

and the below code in the it('') block before instantiating a component using fixture.detectChanges()

it('test', fakeAsync(() => {
  let activatedRoute: ActivatedRoute = fixture.debugElement.injector.get(ActivatedRoute);
  activatedRoute.queryParams = of({ firstName: 'john', lastName: 'smith' });

  fixture.detectChanges(); // trigger ngOninit()
  tick();
}));
