Angular RC5 & RC6
If you are getting the above mentioned error in your Jasmine tests, it is most likely because you have to declare the unrenderable component in your TestBed.configureTestingModule({})
.
The TestBed configures and initializes an environment for unit testing and provides methods for mocking/creating/injecting components and services in unit tests.
If you don't declare the component before your unit tests are executed, Angular will not know what <courses></courses>
is in your template file.
Here is an example:
import {async, ComponentFixture, TestBed} from "@angular/core/testing";
import {AppComponent} from "../app.component";
import {CoursesComponent} from './courses.component';
describe('CoursesComponent', () => {
let component: CoursesComponent;
let fixture: ComponentFixture<CoursesComponent>;
beforeEach(async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
CoursesComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule
// If you have any other imports add them here
]
})
.compileComponents();
}));
beforeEach(() => {
fixture = TestBed.createComponent(CoursesComponent);
component = fixture.componentInstance;
fixture.detectChanges();
});
it('should create', () => {
expect(component).toBeTruthy();
});
});
