How to use the spyOn Angular factory method?

In Jasmine, you can spyOn (object, 'function'). I am trying to find a vendor that is used as "vendor ()". How to do it?

The provider looks like this:

providers.provider('telecom', function() {
    this.$get = function() {
        return function() {
            return 'something';
        }
    }
}

      

In the controller, it will be used like this:

controllers.controller('ctrl', function(telecom) {
    var isp = telecom();
});

      

For object.method (), we can spyOn (object, 'method'). What about provider ()?

I've googled and can't find anything useful. I tried spyOn (provider), but I got an error saying "undefined () method does not exist".

I even try to mock the provider but have no success. ( http://www.sitepoint.com/mocking-dependencies-angularjs-tests/ )

You can use createSpy :

describe('Describe', function() {

  var $scope, createController;

  var telecomSpy = jasmine.createSpy('telecomSpy');

  beforeEach(module('myApp'));

  beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope, $controller) {

    $scope = $rootScope.$new();

    createController = function() {
      $controller('MyController', {
        $scope: $scope,
        telecom: telecomSpy
      });
    };
  }));

  it('It', function() {

    expect(telecomSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalled();

    createController();

    expect(telecomSpy).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});
