TypeError: _this.handler.handle is not a function error

I am getting this error that this.handler.handle is not a function in my unit testing in Angular 6 using karma/jasmine. This error comes up in my command line when I type the 'ng test' command in my project folder.

Chrome 67.0.3396 (Windows 10.0.0) AppComponent should create FAILED    
Failed: _this.handler.handle is not a function
TypeError: _this.handler.handle is not a function

for a test that should create AppComponent here is my .spec file

import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { RouterTestingModule } from '@angular/router/testing';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpClientModule, HttpClient, HttpHandler } from '@angular/common/http';
describe('AppComponent', () => {
  let component: AppComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<AppComponent>;
  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [FormsModule, RouterTestingModule, HttpClientModule],
      schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
      declarations: [AppComponent],
      providers: [HttpClientModule, HttpClient, HttpHandler]
    }).compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should create', async(() => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  }));
});

And here is my app.component.ts file

import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthorizationService } from 'src/app/authorization.service';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { MdcDrawer } from '@angular-mdc/web';
import { tap, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild(MdcDrawer) sidenav: MdcDrawer;
  flip = false;

  constructor(private router: Router, private authorizationService: AuthorizationService) {
    this.authorizationService.getAuthorization().subscribe();
  }

  toggleState() {
    if (this.flip) {
      this.flip = false;
    } else {
      this.flip = true;
    }
  }

  goToPage(route: String) {
    this.router.navigate([route]).catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
    });
    this.sidenav.close();
  }

  close() {
    console.log('CLOSE');
    this.sidenav.close();
  }
}

Can someone please help with this? I would appreciate it.

For me, this issue came from trying to include HttpClient and HttpHandler in my providers in TestBed.configureTestingModule like so:

providers: [
    HttpClient,
    HttpHandler
]

This kept throwing errors along the lines of _TypeError: this.handler.handle is not a function

To fix this, I found I could remove HttpClient and HttpHandler from the providers and instead add HttpClientTestingModule to my imports like so:

imports: [
    HttpClientTestingModule
]

This solved this particular error for me in my Karma unit tests in Angular 7.

I found that adding the below after my last IT statement fixed the issue for me.

afterEach(() => {
    TestBed.resetTestingModule();
});
