Angular 11 can't achieve to test if an url was called

I had a problem with angular testing. I want to detect when an url change on a button click. I followed a lot of similar issues on stack but can't achieve to my goal since 1 one week :/

Explanation

Here is my HTML template:

<a id="signInButton" [routerLink]="['/my/route/call']">Sign in</a>

Here is my test:

describe('MyComponent', () => {
  let component: MyComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture< MyComponent >;
  let httpMock: HttpTestingController;
  // Creating mocked router here
  const router = {
    navigate: jasmine.createSpy('navigate'),
  };

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [MyComponent],
      imports: [
        RouterTestingModule,
        HttpClientTestingModule,
        DatabaseModule.forRoot(),
        FormsModule,
        ReactiveFormsModule,
      ],
      providers: [
       MyComponentService,
        { provide: Router, useValue: router },
      ],
    }).compileComponents();
  });

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

  beforeEach(() => (httpMock = TestBed.inject(HttpTestingController)));

  afterEach(() => {
    router.navigate.calls.reset();
    httpMock.verify();
  });

  fit('should redirect on sign in click', async () => {
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const signInButton = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement.querySelector(
      '#signInButton'
    );
    signInButton.click();
    fixture.detectChanges();
    await fixture.whenStable();
    
    // impossible to pass this step :/
    expect(router.navigate).toHaveBeenCalledWith(['/my/route/call']);
  });
});

When I run the test, I have two errors:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'root' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot read property 'detectChanges' of undefined

Researchs

  • After some research on stack, I managed to remove RouterTestingModule from imports and now I'm getting:
Expected spy navigate to have been called with:
  [ [ '/my/route/call' ] ]
but it was never called.
  • Another searches on stack :p, I managed to remove { provide: Router, useValue: router } but keep RouterTestingModule and I'm getting:
Expected spy navigate to have been called with:
  [ [ '/my/route/call' ] ]
but it was never called.

console error

NOTE: I noticed that all link are not rendered when I'm removing RouterTestingModule, so I think the solution is to achieve to combine RouterTestingModule and { provide: Router, useValue: router },?

  • When I use a (click) instead of routerLink it's working well, why ?
<a id="signInButton" (click)="openNewPage()">Sign in</a>
openNewPage() {
  this.router.navigate(['/my/route/call']);
}

Any help would be amazing :) Thanks in advance !
