"Error: No provider for router" while writing Karma-Jasmine unit test cases
Solution 1:
You need to import RouterTestingModule when setting up the test module.
/* tslint:disable:no-unused-variable */
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { By } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DebugElement } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { MyNewComponentComponent } from './my-new-component.component';
describe('MyNewComponentComponent', () => {
let component: MyNewComponentComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyNewComponentComponent>;
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [RouterTestingModule],
declarations: [ MyNewComponentComponent ]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyNewComponentComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
fixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should create', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
});
Edit: example with mock DummyService
/* tslint:disable:no-unused-variable */
import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { By } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DebugElement } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { MyNewComponentComponent } from './my-new-component.component';
// import the service
import { DummyService } from '../dummy.service';
// mock the service
class MockDummyService extends DummyService {
// mock everything used by the component
};
describe('MyNewComponentComponent', () => {
let component: MyNewComponentComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<MyNewComponentComponent>;
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [RouterTestingModule],
declarations: [MyNewComponentComponent],
providers: [{
provide: DummyService,
useClass: MockDummyService
}]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyNewComponentComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
fixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should create', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
});
Solution 2:
Add RouterTestingModule for configureTestingModule testCase
==> imports: [RouterTestingModule],
import {RouterTestingModule} from '@angular/router/testing';
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [RouterTestingModule], // <====
providers: [],
declarations: [],
});
});
