How to change return value of jasmine spy?

Question

I'm using Jasmine to create a spy like so:

beforeEach(inject(function ($injector) {     $rootScope = $injector.get('$rootScope');     $state = $injector.get('$state');     $controller = $injector.get('$controller');      socket = new sockMock($rootScope);      //this is the line of interest     authService = jasmine.createSpyObj('authService', ['login', 'logout', 'currentUser']); })); 

I'd like to be able to change what's returned by the various methods of authService.

Here are how the actual tests are set up:

function createController() {     return $controller('UserMatchingController', {'$scope': $rootScope, 'socket':socket, 'authService': authService }); }  describe('on initialization', function(){     it('socket should emit a match', function() {         createController();          expect(socket.emits['match'].length).toBe(1);     });      it('should transition to users.matched upon receiving matched', function(){          //this line fails with "TypeError: undefined is not a function"         authService.currentUser.andReturn('bob');          createController();          $state.expectTransitionTo('users.matched');         socket.receive('matchedblah', {name: 'name'});          expect(authService.currentUser).toHaveBeenCalled()     }) }) 

Here's how the controller is set up:

lunchrControllers.controller('UserMatchingController', ['$state', 'socket', 'authService',     function ($state, socket, authService) {         socket.emit('match', {user: authService.currentUser()});          socket.on('matched' + authService.currentUser(), function (data) {             $state.go('users.matched', {name: data.name})         });     }]); 

Essentially, I'd like to be able to change the return value of spied methods. However, I'm not sure if I'm correctly approaching the problem by using jasmine.createSpyObj.

Try this instead. The API changed for Jasmine 2.0:

authService.currentUser.and.returnValue('bob');
