Chutzpah - unable to locate variable: module

I recently installed Chutzpah in order to execute Jasmine-based unit tests for Javascript. This is my first experience with both Jasmine, Chutzpah, and Angular. I have created a test file for an angular filter called filters.spec.js which contains the code below:

 /// <reference path="c:\users\octaviane.cvuintelligence\documents\visual   studio 2013\Projects\PersonalTrainer\PersonalTrainer\Scripts/jasmine.js" />
/// <reference path="c:\users\octaviane.cvuintelligence\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\PersonalTrainer\PersonalTrainer\Scripts/angular.js" />
/// <reference path="../app.js" />


describe("Filters", function () {
  beforeEach(function () { module('7minWorkout') });
  describe("secondsToTime filter", function () {
    it('should convert integer to time format',
    inject(function ($filter) {
        expect($filter("secondsToTime")(5)).toBe("00:00:05");
        expect($filter("secondsToTime")(65)).toBe("00:01:05");
        expect($filter("secondsToTime")(3610))
        .toBe("01:00:10");
    }));
  });
});

In this code snippet, I've referenced angular.js, jasmine.js, and the JavaScript file where the 7minWorkout module is defined. As a beginner, I kindly ask for your patience in case of any mistakes. However, when attempting to run the test file (by right-clicking on the file contents in Visual Studio and selecting 'Run JS Tests'), I encounter the following errors: Can't find variable: module and Can't find variable: inject. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer №1

After some trial and error, I finally managed to make it work by referencing angular-mocks.js in my unit tests file as well as the actual JS file where the code being tested was defined (filters.js).

For those new to this, in order to get Chutzpah for Visual Studio to run your UnitTests for Jasmine, you must reference the following files in your unit tests file:

  • angular.js
  • angular-mocks.js
  • jasmine.js
  • all of the JS files from your application that are necessary for the testing process - specifically the JS file where you initialized the angular module / controller / function being tested.

I hope this information proves helpful to someone :)

Answer №2

Incorporating the jasmine typings (d.ts) is essential for creating tests in Typescript. Currently, using plain JS to reference jasmine results in the module being an unfamiliar term.
