Angular directive testing select options

Question

How do you select an option in an angular directive test?

 var options = elem.find('#test-code-select option');
 expect(angular.element(options[0]).text()).to.equal('234');
 expect(angular.element(options[1]).text()).to.equal('236');

These work fine, but how do I manually force the selection of an option?

angular.element(options[1]).click(); //nope
angular.element(options[1]).trigger('click'); //nope
angular.element(options[1]).attr('selected', true); //nope

EDIT:

The directive template includes a select with an internal ng-model, I suspect this is the cause of the problem:

<select id='test-code-select' ng-options='code as code for code in codeList' ng-model='code'>

Answer 1

This works for me:

var select = elem.find('#test-code-select');
select.val('236').change();
expect(scope.code).toEqual('236');

Note the call to change().
