NullInjectorError: No provider for InjectionToken MatDialogData

Question

I'm getting this error when running jasmine tests on my Angular app.

Error: StaticInjectorError(DynamicTestModule)[MyEditDialogComponent -> InjectionToken MatDialogData]: 
  StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[MyEditDialogComponent -> InjectionToken MatDialogData]: 
    NullInjectorError: No provider for InjectionToken MatDialogData!

I am importing in my component:

import { MAT_DIALOG_DATA, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material';

In the component constructor I am Injecting data to the dialog:

 @Inject(MAT_DIALOG_DATA) public data: {
        myData : MyData
    }

In my karma jasmin spec for the component I am importing:

import {
    MatFormFieldModule,
    MatInputModule,
    MatDialogModule,
    MatDialogRef,
    MAT_DIALOG_DATA,
    MatButtonModule,
    MatRadioModule,
    MatSelectModule
} from '@angular/material';

In the karma/jasmine spec for the component, imports and providers in beforeEach:

 beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
        declarations: [ MyFormComponent ],
        imports: [
            MatFormFieldModule,
            MatInputModule,
            MatDialogModule,                               
        ],
        providers: [
            { provide: MatDialogRef, useValue: {} },
            { provide: MAT_DIALOG_DATA, useValue: { myData: MyData } }
        ]
    }).compileComponents();
}));

I've tried these answers but they don't fix the issue This This

Answer 1

in my case, I imported the directives MatDialogModule, MAT_DIALOG_DATA and MatDialogRef

import { MatDialogModule, MAT_DIALOG_DATA, MatDialogRef } from '@angular/material/dialog';

and then within beforeEatch():

imports: [ MatDialogModule],
providers: [
    { provide: MAT_DIALOG_DATA, useValue: {} },
    { provide: MatDialogRef, useValue: {} }
  ]

Answer 2

Try removing MatDialogRef and MAT_DIALOG_DATA from the karma jasmin spec, and the component you need to be dialog import like this:

imports: [
    DynamicModule.withComponents([YOUR_DIALOG_COMPONENT])
]

Answer 3

In the edit dialog component I was passing the data object into the close method. I removed it and the error went away.

Changed this:

this.dialogRef.close(myData);

to this:

 this.dialogRef.close();
