During Step 3 of the AngularJS Tutorial, an additional e2e test is recommended to enhance the example:
it('should display the current filter value within an element with id "status"',
function() {
expect(element('#status').text()).toMatch(/Current filter: \s*$/);
input('query').enter('nexus');
expect(element('#status').text()).toMatch(/Current filter: nexus\s*$/);
// alternative version of the last assertion that tests just the value of the binding
using('#status').expect(binding('query')).toBe('nexus');
});
Initially, the test fails. By implementing the suggested changes, the page now looks like this:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app ng-controller="PhoneListCtrl">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title ng-bind-template="Google Phone Gallery: {{query}}">Google Phone Gallery</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/app.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css">
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="PhoneListCtrl">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span2">
<!--Sidebar content-->
Search:
<input ng-model="query">
<div id="status">
Current filter: {{query}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="span10">
<!--Body content-->
<ul class="phones">
<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | filter:query">
{{phone.name}}
<p>
{{phone.snippet}}
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
The final assertion still fails:
using('#status').expect(binding('query')).toBe('nexus');An error message states:
Chrome 23.0 - PhoneCat App - Phone list view should display the current filter value within an element with id "status" FAILED
expect select binding 'query' toBe "nexus"It seems that the element isn't correctly bound to query which causes the failure. Can you suggest a solution to make it pass?
Thank you for your help,
