angular.mock. module .sharedInjector

This function ensures a single injector will be used for all tests in a given describe context. This contrasts with the default behaviour where a new injector is created per test case.

Use sharedInjector when you want to take advantage of Jasmine’s beforeAll(), or mocha’s before() methods. Callmodule.sharedInjector() before you setup any other hooks that will create (i.e call module()) or use (i.e call inject()) the injector.

You cannot call sharedInjector() from within a context already using sharedInjector()

 

describe("Deep Thought", function() {

  module.sharedInjector();

  beforeAll(module("UltimateQuestion"));

  beforeAll(inject(function(DeepThought) {
    expect(DeepThought.answer).toBeUndefined();
    DeepThought.generateAnswer();
  }));

  it("has calculated the answer correctly", inject(function(DeepThought) {
    // Because of sharedInjector, we have access to the instance of the DeepThought service
    // that was provided to the beforeAll() hook. Therefore we can test the generated answer
    expect(DeepThought.answer).toBe(42);
  }));

  it("has calculated the answer within the expected time", inject(function(DeepThought) {
    expect(DeepThought.runTimeMillennia).toBeLessThan(8000);
  }));

  it("has double checked the answer", inject(function(DeepThought) {
    expect(DeepThought.absolutelySureItIsTheRightAnswer).toBe(true);
  }));

});
