Unknown provider CookieStore

Question

I am having service where I want to use the $cookieStore module. It works fine, but when unit testing it breaks, and gives the error: "$cookieStoreProvider <- $cookieStore <- filtersService".

The service looks like this:

serviceModule.factory('filtersService', ['$rootScope', '$location', '$cookieStore', function($rootScope, $location, $cookieStore){
    return {
        getFilters: function(){...}
}

And the unit test service looks like this:

describe('filtersService tests', function(){
var filtersService;
beforeEach(module('App.services'));

beforeEach(inject(function(filtersService, urlService, $location){

    filtersService = filtersService;
    urlService = urlService;
}));

it('test something', inject(function(filtersService, $location){
    filtersService.getFilters();
   expect(...something...)
}));
});

I have included angular-cookies in the karma test file.

Any idea why the code works when running, but unittests fails?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem when using angular-cookies and angular-file-upload. I solved it this way:

First, I´ve checked all the dependencies on my app with bower list:

-bash-4.1$ bower list
bower check-new     Checking for new versions of the project dependencies..
 APPNAME#0.0.0 /home/git/APPNAME/test.git
 ├── angular#1.2.28 (1.4.4-build.4150+sha.39ff333 available)

 ├─┬ angular-cookies#1.4.3 (1.4.4-build.4150+sha.39ff333 available)
 │ └── angular#1.2.28 incompatible with 1.4.3 (1.4.3 available, latest is 1.4.4-build.4150+sha.39ff333)
 ├─┬ angular-file-upload#1.2.0
 │ └── angular#1.2.28 (1.2.29-build.592+sha.b041b66 available, latest is 1.4.4-build.4150+sha.39ff333)

As you will see, bower tells me about the incompatibility between angular 1.2.28 and 1.4.3, then, we have a library problem. The same for angular-cookies and angular-file-upload.

After that, I just decided to clean all my bower_components dir with rm -fr bower_components and run a new bower install to ensure all the libraries are "fresh-installed".

-bash-4.1$ rm -fr bower_components
-bash-4.1$ cd ..
-bash-4.1$ cd ..

Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json

? Answer: 7!

bower asked me to choose between the versions for angular and I´ve chosen the 7th option, as it´s angular 1.4.3, the latest of the versions required in most of the components of my app. After that, bower did the installation, and linked angular 1.4.3 to all the bower_components that require it:

As you will see, I still see an incompatible dependency in angular-file-upload component. Then, I run into the component dir, and installed LOCALLY FOR THIS COMPONENT a new version of angular (the required one for the component itself):

-bash-4.1$ cd client/
-bash-4.1$ cd bower_components/
-bash-4.1$ cd angular-file-upload/
-bash-4.1$ bower install angular --save
bower angular#*                 cached git://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.3
bower angular#*               validate 1.4.3 against git://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#*

Unable to find a suitable version for angular, please choose one:
    1) angular#~1.2.11 which resolved to 1.2.28 and is required by angular-file-upload
    2) angular#~1.4.3 which resolved to 1.4.3

Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json

? Answer: 1!
bower angular               resolution Saved angular#~1.2.11 as resolution

After that, everything went ok and there was not more injection or dependency problems. Hope it may help you.
