    <p>I have a simple controller and the first thing I need it to do is assign a value to scope.</p> <pre><code>function TestCtrl($scope, $http) { $scope.listForms = 'some list'; } </code></pre> <p>The following test for the controller works as expected:</p> <pre><code>describe('Testing a controller', function() { var ctrl, scope, httpMock; beforeEach(inject(function($injector) { scope = $injector.get('$rootScope').$new(); ctrl = $injector.get('$controller'); ctrl(TestCtrl, { $scope: scope }); })); it("assigns to scope", function() { expect(scope.listForms).toMatch("some list"); }); }); </code></pre> <p>But when I change the function to get the list from my API</p> <pre><code>function TestCtrl($scope, $http) { $http.get('/api/listForms').success(function(list) { $scope.aListOfForms = 'some list'; }); } </code></pre> <p>and the test changes to</p> <pre><code>describe('Testing a controller', function() { var ctrl, scope, httpMock; beforeEach(inject(function($injector) { httpMock = $injector.get('$httpBackend'); scope = $injector.get('$rootScope').$new(); httpMock.when('GET', '/tactical/api/listOrderForms').respond("an order form"); ctrl = $injector.get('$controller'); ctrl(TestCtrl, { $scope: scope, $http: httpMock }); })); it("gets the list from the api and assigns it to scope", function() { httpMock.expectGET('tactical/api/listOrderForms'); expect(scope.orderFormList).toMatch("an order form"); httpMock.flush(); }); }); </code></pre> <p>I get the following errors:</p> <pre><code>TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function Expected undefined to match 'an order form'. Error: No pending request to flush ! </code></pre> <p>Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
