I am implementing a wizard component in Angular 2 RC4, and now I am trying to write som unit tests. Unit testing in Angular 2 is starting to get well documented, but I simply cannot find out how to mock the result of a content query in the component.
The app has 2 components (in addition to the app component), WizardComponent and WizardStepComponent. The app component (app.ts) defines the wizard and the steps in its template:
<div>
<fa-wizard>
<fa-wizard-step stepTitle="First step">step 1 content</fa-wizard-step>
<fa-wizard-step stepTitle="Second step">step 2 content</fa-wizard-step>
<fa-wizard-step stepTitle="Third step">step 3 content</fa-wizard-step>
</fa-wizard>
</div>
The WizardComponent (wizard-component.ts) gets a reference to the steps by using a ContentChildren query.
@Component({
selector: 'fa-wizard',
template: `<div *ngFor="let step of steps">
<ng-content></ng-content>
</div>
<div><button (click)="cycleSteps()">Cycle steps</button></div>`
})
export class WizardComponent implements AfterContentInit {
@ContentChildren(WizardStepComponent) steps: QueryList<WizardStepComponent>;
....
}
The problem is how to mock the steps variable in the unit test:
describe('Wizard component', () => {
it('should set first step active on init', async(inject([TestComponentBuilder], (tcb: TestComponentBuilder) => {
return tcb
.createAsync(WizardComponent)
.then( (fixture) =>{
let nativeElement = fixture.nativeElement;
let testComponent: WizardComponent = fixture.componentInstance;
//how to initialize testComponent.steps with mock data?
fixture.detectChanges();
expect(fixture.componentInstance.steps[0].active).toBe(true);
});
})));
});
I have created a plunker implementing a very simple wizard demonstrating the problem. The wizard-component.spec.ts file contains the unit test.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
