How to mock getter parameter value of a mocked service












0















I've tried this SO post, but it's not my case.



I have a service (AnimationService), which is depended on another service (AnimationStateService). This AnimationStateService has a getter state, which I want to mock in my test. So my test looks like this:



animation.service.spec.ts



describe("AnimationService", () => {

let animationService: SpyObj<AnimationService>;
let animationStateService: SpyObj<AnimationStateService>;

beforeEach(() => {

const spyAnimationStateService = createSpyObj("AnimationStateService", ["changeStatus"]);

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
providers: [
AnimationService,
{provide: AnimationStateService, useValue: spyAnimationStateService}
]
});

animationStateService = TestBed.get(AnimationStateService);
animationService = TestBed.get(AnimationService);
});

fit("should call changeStatus if status is AnimationStatus.Stopped", () => {
// Arrange
// animationStateService.status.and.returnValue(AnimationStatus.Stopped); - Doesn't work
// spyOnProperty(animationStateService, "status").and.returnValue(AnimationStatus.Stopped); - Doesn't work
// animationStateService.status = AnimationStatus.Stopped; - Works, but with TSLint error

// Act
animationService.start();

// Assert
expect(animationStateService.changeStatus).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});


animation-state.service.spec.ts



@Injectable()
export class AnimationStateService {

public get status(): AnimationStatus { return this.state.animation.status; }
...
}


When I tried to mock the getter with:



animationStateService.status.and.returnValue(AnimationStatus.Stopped);


or with:



spyOnProperty(animationStateService, "status").and.returnValue(AnimationStatus.Stopped);


It doesn't worked. The getter simply doesn't returned the value I've been set.



This approach works:



animationStateService.status = AnimationStatus.Stopped;


but it gives me a TSLint error:



Cannot assign to 'status' because it is a constant or a read-only property.


So at this point I don't know, what else should I try to mock the getter properly and without errors.
