I made a simple demo of a factory and I am trying to test this using jasmine. I am able to run the test but I am using the spyOn method. I would rather use jasmine.createSpy or jasmine.createSpyObj to do the same test. Could someone help me to refactor my code so that uses these methods instead in my example?

describe('value check',function(){
var $scope,
ctrl,
fac;
beforeEach(function(){
module('app');
});
beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope,$controller,appfactory) {
$scope = $rootScope.$new();
ctrl = $controller('cntrl', {$scope: $scope});
fac=appfactory;
spyOn(fac, 'setValue');
fac.setValue('test abc');
}));
it('test true value',function(){
expect(true).toBeTruthy()
})
it('check message value',function(){
expect($scope.message).toEqual(fac.getValue())
})
it("tracks that the spy was called", function() {
expect(fac.setValue).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it("tracks all the arguments of its calls", function() {
expect(fac.setValue).toHaveBeenCalledWith('test abc');
});
})
update
angular.module('app',[]).factory('appfactory',function(){
var data;
var obj={};
obj.getValue=getValue;
obj.setValue=setValue;
return obj;
function getValue(){
return data;
}
function setValue(datavalue){
data=datavalue;
}
}).controller('cntrl',function($scope,appfactory){
appfactory.setValue('test abc');
$scope.message=appfactory.getValue()
})
I have changed your plunkr:
spy = jasmine.createSpy('spy');
fac.setValue = spy;
Edit
In Jasmine, mocks are referred to as spies. There are two ways to create a spy in Jasmine: spyOn() can only be used when the method already exists on the object, whereas jasmine.createSpy() will return a brand new function.
Found the information here. The link has a lot more information about creating spies.
