Angular testing – Jasmine –  TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘subscribe’)

Jasmine

Jasmine is a Behavior Driven Development testing framework for JavaScript. It does not rely on browsers, DOM, or any JavaScript framework. Thus it’s suited for websites, Node.js projects, or anywhere that JavaScript can run.

How to reproduce it

routing.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-routing',
  templateUrl: './routing.component.html',
  styleUrls: [ './routing.component.css' ]
})
export class RoutingComponent {

  param: string = "";

  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {

  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.route.params.subscribe(param => {
      this.param = param[ 'id' ];
    })
  }

}

routing.component.spec.ts

...
  beforeEach(async () => {

    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ RoutingComponent ],
      providers:
        [
          {
            provide: ActivatedRoute,
            useValue: mockActivatedRoute
          }

        ]
    })
      .compileComponents();

    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(RoutingComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });
...

Solution

Create an observable mockup.

...
  const mockActivatedRoute = {
    params: of({ id: '123' })
  };


  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ RoutingComponent ],
      providers:
        [
          {
            provide: ActivatedRoute,
            useValue: mockActivatedRoute
          }

        ]
    })
      .compileComponents();
