copied!<p>I don't think $httpBackend is what you're after here, you want the whole factory to be mocked without it having a dependency on $http?</p> <p>Take a look at <a href="http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$q" rel="noreferrer">$q</a>, in particular the code sample under the Testing header. Your issue might be resolved with code that looks like this:</p> <pre><code>'use strict'; describe('mocking the factory response', function () { beforeEach(module('myApp.controllers')); var scope, fakeFactory, controller, q, deferred; //Prepare the fake factory beforeEach(function () { fakeFactory = { requestPeople: function () { deferred = q.defer(); // Place the fake return object here deferred.resolve({ "one": "three" }); return deferred.promise; } }; spyOn(fakeFactory, 'requestPeople').andCallThrough(); }); //Inject fake factory into controller beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller, $q) { scope = $rootScope.$new(); q = $q; controller = $controller('MyCtrl1', { $scope: scope, MyFactory: fakeFactory }); })); it('The peopleList object is not defined yet', function () { // Before $apply is called the promise hasn't resolved expect(scope.peopleList).not.toBeDefined(); }); it('Applying the scope causes it to be defined', function () { // This propagates the changes to the models // This happens itself when you're on a web page, but not in a unit test framework scope.$apply(); expect(scope.peopleList).toBeDefined(); }); it('Ensure that the method was invoked', function () { scope.$apply(); expect(fakeFactory.requestPeople).toHaveBeenCalled(); }); it('Check the value returned', function () { scope.$apply(); expect(scope.peopleList).toBe({ "one": "three" }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>I've added some tests around what $apply does, I didn't know that until I started playing with this!</p> <p>Gog</p>
