Angular ui router unit testing (states to urls)

Been having this issue as well, and finally figured out how to do it.

Here is a sample state:

angular.module('myApp', ['ui.router'])
.config(['$stateProvider', function($stateProvider) {
    $stateProvider.state('myState', {
        url: '/state/:id',
        templateUrl: 'template.html',
        controller: 'MyCtrl',
        resolve: {
            data: ['myService', function(service) {
                return service.findAll();
            }]
        }
    });
}]);

The unit test below will cover testing the URL w/ params, and executing the resolves which inject its own dependencies:

describe('myApp/myState', function() {

  var $rootScope, $state, $injector, myServiceMock, state = 'myState';

  beforeEach(function() {

    module('myApp', function($provide) {
      $provide.value('myService', myServiceMock = {});
    });

    inject(function(_$rootScope_, _$state_, _$injector_, $templateCache) {
      $rootScope = _$rootScope_;
      $state = _$state_;
      $injector = _$injector_;

      // We need add the template entry into the templateCache if we ever
      // specify a templateUrl
      $templateCache.put('template.html', '');
    })
  });

  it('should respond to URL', function() {
    expect($state.href(state, { id: 1 })).toEqual('#/state/1');
  });

  it('should resolve data', function() {
    myServiceMock.findAll = jasmine.createSpy('findAll').and.returnValue('findAll');
    // earlier than jasmine 2.0, replace "and.returnValue" with "andReturn"

    $state.go(state);
    $rootScope.$digest();
    expect($state.current.name).toBe(state);

    // Call invoke to inject dependencies and run function
    expect($injector.invoke($state.current.resolve.
                                                    

                                                                                                                REPLY
