thank you for providing these gists!

Does this holds good for RC.6 ?, Upto what version is this code snippets valid?

I was able to update it to the final version of Angular 2. Enjoy!

Thanks for this!

https://gist.github.com/wkwiatek/e8a4a9d92abc4739f04f5abddd3de8a7#file-app-3-http-spec-ts-L49

Yay! First HTTP example that I see that does not uses uses async() or fackeAsyc() / tick().
Does somebody knows since when this is not required any more? Code seems to run fully synchronous anyway...

awesome! thank you!

Hi, thanks for the gist! I've a question.

How can I change just one provider. In my case I've a component that have a resolver that returns data from 2 API calls. The data of this resolver is on ActivatedRoute provider. I want to have multiple test cases with different data. How could I override just ActivatedRoute?

I'm looking into overrideComponent this way:

// getDefaultProviders return an Array with common providers
        fixture = TestBed
          .configureTestingModule({
            imports: [ HttpModule, SchedulesModule ],
            providers: [ ...getDefaultProviders() ]
          })
          .overrideComponent(MyComponent, {
            set: {
              providers: [
                {
                  provide: ActivatedRoute,
                  useValue: { snapshot: { data: { myData: 'Something here different in each scenario' } } },
                },
              ]
            }
          })
          .createComponent(MyComponent);

It's a good idea to have multiple configureTestingModule in the same file?

Thank you !

@Ajeey, You can do something like this

beforeEach(() => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            imports: [HttpModule],
            declarations: [Component],
            providers: [{provide: XHRBackend, useClass: MockBackend}]
        }).compileComponents();

        fixture = TestBed.createComponent(SendEmailComponent);
        component = fixture.componentInstance;
    });
   // and then to test it you do these

it("should do somthing", async(inject([XHRBackend], (be: MockBackend) => {
    be.connections.subscribe((c: MockConnection) => c.mockError(error));

   // and you execute the function that makes the request
})
