AngularJS unit testing with ReSharper

Question

I'm trying to get Jasmine unit tests for an AngularJS controller running with the ReSharper test runner so I can run my client and server-side tests in one place within VS 2012.

I'm running into an issue where the ReSharper test runner is failing with a message of "Inconclusive: Test wasn't run". The same test runs fine using the test runner that comes with the AngularJS Seed project.

Here's my simple test for troubleshooting:

/// <reference path="~/Scripts/angular/angular.js"/>
/// <reference path="~/tests/test/lib/angular/angular-mocks.js"/>
/// <reference path="~/Scripts/app/controllers.js"/>

'use strict';

describe('controllers', function(){
  beforeEach(module('myApp.controllers'));

  it('should ....', inject(function() {
      expect(1).toEqual(1);
  }));
});

I suspect it has something to do with my references because if I remove the call to inject, my test runs fine. However, inject is defined in angular-mocks.js (which I'm referencing) so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Your hunch about ReSharper tripping over inline inject is right, it seems to expect function instead when it parses file to get list of tests. I've worked around by moving injects into either beforeEach or into the body of the it and that made ReSharper happy again. Btw, I've also added reference to jasmine.js at the top (before other references) to get rid of ReSharper's warnings about undefined Jasmine globals.

There is an issue about this ReSharper problem at their tracker at http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-383328 - you can vote for it to be fixed.
