Question

I am trying to unit test an Angular service with a Jasmine spec file. This requires that a module be loaded. Here is a simple spec designed in an attempt to simply load the Angular module:

describe('Submission services', function () {
  it('Finds angular', function () {
    module('submissionServices');
  });
});

When I run Jasmine, this results in the following error

Running Jasmine specs...
FAIL: 1 test, 1 failure, 0.004 secs.

Submission services Finds angular. (/Users/XXX/Projects/globe_town/spec/javascripts/SubmissionsSpec.js:3)
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: module

Test ordering seed: --seed 1826
rake aborted!
Jasmine::Headless::TestFailure

The jasmine.yml file contains

src_files:
  - public/javascripts/jquery.js
  - spec/javascripts/lib/angular/angular.js
  - spec/javascripts/lib/angular/angular-resource.js
  - app/assets/javascripts/services/submissions.js

stylesheets:
  - stylesheets/**/*.css

helpers:
  - helpers/**/*.js

spec_files:
  - '**/*[sS]pec.js'

src_dir:

spec_dir: spec/javascripts

The versions of the software are:

• Rails 3.2.7
• jasmine-core 1.2.0
• jasmine-headless-webkit 0.8.4
• AngularJS 1.0.2

What do I need to do to make Jasmine find Angular?

Make sure you include http://code.angularjs.org/1.1.0/angular-mocks.js for the angular-jasmine-helper functions like module.
