https://duan.ca/tag/jasmine-js/ <p>How do you test whether a method is called witin the constructor of an object with Jasmine.js?</p> <p>Turns out, you need to <code>spyOn()</code> the &quot;raw&quot; reference of the &quot;method&quot;, which really just a function on the <code>prototype</code> of your &quot;class&quot; object. An example will make it clear:</p> <pre><code>// is 'load()' getting called during construction? describe(&quot;MyObject&quot;, function() { it(&quot;should call load() during construction&quot;, function() { spyOn(MyObject.prototype, 'load'); new MyObject(); expect(MyObject.prototype.load).toHaveBeenCalled(); }); } </code></pre> Sun, 30 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0600 https://duan.ca/2012/09/30/testing-method-within-constructor-with-jasminejs/ https://duan.ca/2012/09/30/testing-method-within-constructor-with-jasminejs/
