Jasmine - ways of stubbing URL

Question

I have the following line in my code:

var fileUrl = URL.createObjectURL(file);

Unfortunately phantomjs doesn't have URL so I need to stub it out in Jasmine, but not sure how.

I am using Jasmine 2 and AngularJS 1.4

Answer 1

spyOn(URL, 'createObjectURL').and.returnValue("something");

This assumes URL is accessible in your unit tests. Alternatively, another approach, is to define URL in your unit tests as ...

var URL = {
    createObjectURL: function() { return "something" }
}
