angular-mock: $animate.flush is not a function

[htulipe]

In my Mocha tests run with Karma, I have to flush some animation before making some assertions:

beforeEach(inject(function ($animate, $httpBackend) {
  $httpBackend.flush();
  $animate.flush();
  scope.$digest();
}));

I get the following error: $animate.flush is not a function. Other mocks work well ($httpBackend for instance).

I searched a bit and saw that the part of the code of angular-mock that defines the $animate service is never executed. I also saw that mocked $animate is the only mock that is declared as an actual module and this module is never required.

I can get my tests working by adding following line here: modules.unshift('ngAnimateMock');

Environment info:
Angular: 1.5.5
Mocha: 2.2.1
Karma: 0.13.10

Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks in advance

Blaming the source file I found in the original commit that we can do the following to get it to work:

beforeEach(module('ngAnimateMock'));

I still think there a bug there (or at least some doc to be improved). I will happily make a PR for that, let me know.

Indeed, we should probably document it somewhere, that if you want the mocked version of $animate (et al) you need to include the ngAnimateMock module (e.g. beforeEach(module('ngAnimateMock'))).

PRs welcome 😃

Ok will do
