AngularJS: API: ngMock/service/$httpBackend


$httpBackend

  1. - service in module ngMock

Fake HTTP backend implementation suitable for unit testing applications that use the $http service.

注意: For fake HTTP backend implementation suitable for end-to-end testing or backend-less development please see e2e $httpBackend mock.

During unit testing, we want our unit tests to run quickly and have no external dependencies so we don’t want to send XHR or JSONP requests to a real server. All we really need is to verify whether a certain request has been sent or not, or alternatively just let the application make requests, respond with pre-trained responses and assert that the end result is what we expect it to be.

This mock implementation can be used to respond with static or dynamic responses via the expect and when apis and their shortcuts (expectGET, whenPOST, etc).

When an Angular application needs some data from a server, it calls the $http service, which sends the request to a real server using $httpBackend service. With 依赖注入, it is easy to inject $httpBackend mock (which has the same API as $httpBackend) and use it to verify the requests and respond with some testing data without sending a request to a real server.

There are two ways to specify what test data should be returned as http responses by the mock backend when the code under test makes http requests:

  • $httpBackend.expect - specifies a request expectation
  • $httpBackend.when - specifies a backend definition

Request Expectations vs Backend Definitions

Request expectations provide a way to make assertions about requests made by the application and to define responses for those requests. The test will fail if the expected requests are not made or they are made in the wrong order.

Backend definitions allow you to define a fake backend for your application which doesn't assert if a particular request was made or not, it just returns a trained response if a request is made. The test will pass whether or not the request gets made during testing.

Request expectations Backend definitions
Syntax .expect(...).respond(...) .when(...).respond(...)
Typical usage strict unit tests loose (black-box) unit testing
Fulfills multiple requests NO YES
Order of requests matters YES NO
Request required YES NO
Response required optional (see below) YES

In cases where both backend definitions and request expectations are specified during unit testing, the request expectations are evaluated first.

If a request expectation has no response specified, the algorithm will search your backend definitions for an appropriate response.

If a request didn't match any expectation or if the expectation doesn't have the response defined, the backend definitions are evaluated in sequential order to see if any of them match the request. The response from the first matched definition is returned.

Flushing HTTP requests

The $httpBackend used in production always responds to requests asynchronously. If we preserved this behavior in unit testing, we'd have to create async unit tests, which are hard to write, to follow and to maintain. But neither can the testing mock respond synchronously; that would change the execution of the code under test. For this reason, the mock $httpBackend has a flush() method, which allows the test to explicitly flush pending requests. This preserves the async api of the backend, while allowing the test to execute synchronously.

Unit testing with mock $httpBackend

The following code shows how to setup and use the mock backend when unit testing a controller. First we create the controller under test:

  // The controller code
  Function MyController($scope, $http) {
    var authToken;

    $http.get('/auth.py').success(Function(data, status, headers) {
      authToken = headers('A-Token');
      $scope.user = data;
    });

    $scope.saveMessage = Function(message) {
      var headers = { 'Authorization': authToken };
      $scope.status = 'Saving...';

      $http.post('/add-msg.py', message, { headers: headers } ).success(Function(response) {
        $scope.status = '';
      }).error(Function() {
        $scope.status = 'ERROR!';
      });
    };
  }

Now we setup the mock backend and create the test specs:

    // testing controller
    describe('MyController', Function() {
       var $httpBackend, $rootScope, createController;

       beforeEach(inject(Function($injector) {
         // Set up the mock http service responses
         $httpBackend = $injector.get('$httpBackend');
         // backend definition common for all tests
         $httpBackend.when('GET', '/auth.py').respond({userId: 'userX'}, {'A-Token': 'xxx'});

         // Get hold of a scope (i.e. the root scope)
         $rootScope = $injector.get('$rootScope');
         // The $controller service is used to create instances of controllers
         var $controller = $injector.get('$controller');

         createController = Function() {
           return $controller('MyController', {'$scope' : $rootScope });
         };
       }));


       afterEach(Function() {
         $httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingExpectation();
         $httpBackend.verifyNoOutstandingRequest();
       });


       it('should fetch authentication token', Function() {
         $httpBackend.expectGET('/auth.py');
         var controller = createController();
         $httpBackend.flush();
       });


       it('should send msg to server', Function() {
         var controller = createController();
         $httpBackend.flush();

         // now you don’t care about the authentication, but
         // the controller will still send the request and
         // $httpBackend will respond without you having to
         // specify the expectation and response for this request

         $httpBackend.expectPOST('/add-msg.py', 'message content').respond(201, '');
         $rootScope.saveMessage('message content');
         expect($rootScope.status).toBe('Saving...');
         $httpBackend.flush();
         expect($rootScope.status).toBe('');
       });


       it('should send auth header', Function() {
         var controller = createController();
         $httpBackend.flush();

         $httpBackend.expectPOST('/add-msg.py', undefined, Function(headers) {
           // check if the header was send, if it wasn't the expectation won't
           // match the request and the test will fail
           return headers['Authorization'] == 'xxx';
         }).respond(201, '');

         $rootScope.saveMessage('whatever');
         $httpBackend.flush();
       });
    });
