Question

Tryin’ to get started with testing in angularjs (based on this) but can’t seem to get the mocks working correctly. Here’s my jasmine file:

describe 'FlightsController', ->
  beforeEach module 'surf-air'

  beforeEach inject ($rootScope, $controller) ->
    scope = $rootScope.$new()
    FlightsController = $controller('FlightsController', {scope: scope})

  it 'should work', -> expect(true).toBe(true)

And here’s what Testacular spits back:

Chrome 23.0 FlightsController should work FAILED
    Error: Unknown provider: $scopeProvider <- $scope

Chrome 23.0: Executed 1 of 1 (1 FAILED) (0.221 secs / 0.04 secs)

which is caused by:

$controller('FlightsController', {scope: scope})

Any ideas?

Change this line

FlightsController = $controller('FlightsController', {scope: scope})

to the following

FlightsController = $controller('FlightsController', {$scope: scope})

I have updated the example jsfiddle to CoffeeScript: http://jsfiddle.net/jaimem/5Afbm/2/
