Official Google Angular testing guide

The main Angular testing guide is located here:

• https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/testing.html

You should probably read up to "Test a component with an async service". Please note that there are links to all live working examples near the beginning of the tutorial.

Adding PhantomJS into the mix

This is how to get the QuickStart project to work with Karma and PhantomJS.

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git
$ cd quickstart

Install phantomjs and phantomjs launcher

$ npm install --save-dev phantomjs
$ npm install --save-dev karma-phantomjs-launcher

Change karma.conf.js

// First change
require('karma-chrome-launcher') => require('karma-phantomjs-launcher')

// Second change
browsers: ['Chrome'] => browsers: ['PhantomJS']

Install Quickstart App

$ npm install

Run tests

$ npm test

TypeError: undefined is not a function error

If you get this error:

PhantomJS 2.1.1 (Linux 0.0.0) ERROR
TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 'System.config')
at karma-test-shim.js:30

Append system-polyfills.js to karma.conf.js:

files: [
  // System.js for module loading
  'node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js',
  'node_modules/systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js',
