Error: StaticInjectorError(DynamicTestModule)[RouterLinkWithHref -> Router]: (NullInjectorError: No provider for Router!)

Question

I am preparing unit test case for AppComponent which have router as a injected dependency and have included RouterTestingModule in my test bed. But still getting a weird error. Please find the error log shown below:

Error: StaticInjectorError(DynamicTestModule)[RouterLinkWithHref -> Router]: 
  StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[RouterLinkWithHref -> Router]:

Please help. I have already tried removing router links from my template.

TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    declarations: [
      AppComponent
    ],
    imports: [
      CoreModule.forRoot(),
      RouterTestingModule.withRoutes(routes),
    ],
    providers: [
      {provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: '/'},
    ]
}

May I know if you have imported RouterTestingModule? You should import it this way:

import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';

Also, what is routes in your RouterTestingModule.withRoutes(routes)? Here is a sample of how you can import RouterTestingModule into your Testbed.

beforeEach(async(() => {
  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    imports: [
      HttpClientTestingModule,
      RouterTestingModule.withRoutes([]),
    ],
    declarations: [
      SomeComponent,
    ],
    providers: [
      SampleService,
    ],

  })
    .compileComponents()
}))
