How to avoid location.reload() in angular tests via jasmine, and test it

In one of my controllers I have a location.reload()

(For those who wants to know why, My login page does not load the entire app before the user logs in to reduce threshold on the server)

When I test the controller, it actually reloads the test in an infinite loop.

My questions is this:

How do I avoid the location.reload() from loading the test itself, and how do I even check whether it has been called? can I mock it somehow?

Here's the code for the controller:

(function() {
    'use strict';

    angular
    .module('app.ctrls')
    .controller('LoginController', LoginController);

    LoginController.$inject = [ '$scope', 'AuthService' ];

    function LoginController($scope, AuthService)
    {
        console.log('LoginController');
        $scope.credantials = {
                email:      '',
                password:   '',
                remember:   false
        }
        $scope.login = function(credantials)
        {
            AuthService.login(credantials.email, credantials.password, credantials.remember || false).success(function(response) {
                console.log(response);
                if (response.email !== null)
                {
                    $scope.logged = true;
                    console.log('login successful');
                    location.reload();
                }
                else
                {
                    $scope.logged = false;
                    $scope.error = true;
                }
            }).error(function() {
                console.log('failed to login');
            });
        };
    }
})();

Here's the spec:

describe("successfully logged in", function() {
    it("should reload the page", function() {
        this.scope.credantials = { email: 'test@mail.com', password: '123', remember: false };
        this.$httpBackend.expectPOST('/auth/login', this.scope.credantials).respond({first_name: "Bakayaru", email: "test@mail.com"});
        this.$httpBackend.whenGET('/tpls/home.html').respond(200);
        this.scope.login(this.scope.credantials);
        this.$httpBackend.flush();
        expect(this.scope).toBeDefined();
        expect(this.scope.logged).toBeTruthy();
        /* -------> TEST that location.reload() has been called HERE <--------- */
    });
});
