Testing Subject using TestScheduler in RxJs

Question

I am using RxJs to count how many packets arrive in a particular time window. My code basically looks like this:

var packetSubject = new Rx.Subject();
var packetsInWindow = [];

function startMonitoring() {
    var subscription = packetSubject
        .windowWithTime(1000)
        .select(function(window) {
            window.toArray().subscribe(function(elements) {
                packetsInWindow.push(elements.length);
            });
        })
        .subscribe();
}

function newPacket(packet) {
    packetSubject.onNext(packet);
}

How to unit test this code using Rx TestScheduler? I could not find any suitable example for testing Subjects.

Answer 1

Have a look this example :

   var x = 0,
       scheduler = new Rx.TestScheduler();

   var subject = new Rx.Subject();
   subject.throttle(100, scheduler).subscribe(function (value) {
       x = value;
   });

   scheduler.scheduleWithAbsolute(0, function () {
       subject.onNext(1);//trigger first event with value 1
   });
   scheduler.scheduleWithAbsolute(50, function () {
       expect(x).toEqual(0);//value hasn't been updated
   });
   scheduler.scheduleWithAbsolute(200, function () {
       expect(x).toEqual(1);//value update after throttle's windowDuration 
   });

   scheduler.start();
