Mocking out HTTP backend implementation in Protractor end-to-end tests the same way it's done in AngularJS unit tests.
npm install ng-mock-e2e --save-devSee $httpBackend.when.
describe('when navigating to /', function () {
var ngMockE2E = require('ng-mock-e2e');
var $httpBackend = ngMockE2E.$httpBackend;
beforeEach(function () {
ngMockE2E.addMockModule();
ngMockE2E.addAsDependencyForModule('myApp');
ngMockE2E.embedScript('/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js');
});
afterEach(function () {
ngMockE2E.clearMockModules();
});
it('should redirect to "#/a" if POST /get-redirection-url responds with "a"', function () {
$httpBackend.when('POST', '/get-redirection-url').respond('a');
browser.get('/');
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toBe(browser.baseUrl + '#/a');
});
it('should redirect to "#/b" if POST /get-redirection-url responds with "b"', function () {
$httpBackend.when('POST', '/get-redirection-url').respond('b');
browser.get('/');
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toBe(browser.baseUrl + '#/b');
});
});ngMockE2E.addAsDependencyForModule('myApp') (myApp should be replaced with the name of your application module) is a convenient way to add ngMockE2E dependency to your application module dynamically only for end-to-end testing. You don't need to call it if you add this dependency in a different way.
ngMockE2E.embedScript('/bower_components/angular-mocks/angular-mocks.js') is a convenient way to embed angular-mocks.js only for end-to-end testing. You don't need to call it if you embed this script in a different way.
This is a development prototype shared for presentational purposes. I'm planning to rewrite it using TDD.
The following shortcut methods haven't been implemented yet: whenGET, whenHEAD, whenDELETE, whenPOST, whenPOST, whenPATCH, whenJSONP.
Instead of writing ngMockE2E.$httpBackend.when('GET', /*./).passThrough() for each HTTP method, you can use the following shortcut that does it for you: ngMockE2E.$httpBackend.passThrough().
