I have a simple service for displaying flash messages https://github.com/lucassus/mongo_browser/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/app/services.js.coffee#L31 and I’m trying to test it in e2e specs https://github.com/lucassus/mongo_browser/blob/master/spec/javascripts/e2e/databases_scenario.js.coffee#L66
I use $timeout service to hide a flash message after 3 seconds.

I noticed that e2e scenario runner blocks until the timeout flushes and I’m not able to check whether the flash message has been shown.

How to test features with $timeout in e2e specs?
Is it possible to test this kind of behavior without injecting mock services into the real application?

    I don’t see a way to call inject() in the end-to-end tests, as described by @christian-smith; this method is for the standard Jasmine tests, not the e2e test runner.

    I’ve created a Plunker to demonstrate.

    In the example, the call to $timeout(halfHourAction, 30*1000, false); in app.js means the tests don’t start running for 30 seconds.

    In my Real World® example, I’m actually polling something every 30minutes, so the app never starts running at all. Even being able to flush the $browsers queue would only add another method to it.
