angularjs - Unit testing promises in js-data-angular models -

we use js-data , js-data-angular in our project.

i have following model:

(function () {   'use strict';   angular.module('dash.models')     .factory('diagnosis', ['ds', function (ds) {       function transform(resourcename, attrs, cb) {         attrs.icd9codes.foreach(function (el) {           delete el.add;         });         cb(null, attrs);       }        this.transform = transform;        return ds.defineresource({         name: 'diagnosis',         idattribute: 'id',         endpoint: '/diagnosis',         baseurl: '/api',         beforecreate: transform,         beforeupdate: transform       });     }]);  }()); 

and following call said model:

    var startediting = self.startediting = function(parentscope, diagnosis) {       diagnosis.findall({         deep:true       }, {         endpoint: '/diagnosis/' + diagnosis.id       }).then(function(d) {         $scope.diagnosis = d;         $scope.inscope = true;       });     }; 

in unit test, mock call this:

var diagdeferred = _$q_.defer();     diagdeferred.resolve({       'name': 'breast',       'categories': null,       'id': '026c7cd0-14ef-4312-a8f1-2092107b0e50',       'icd9codes': [{id: '1', code: '001', description: 'icd9 code'}]     });      spyon(diagnosis, 'findall').and.returnvalue(diagdeferred.promise); 

and actual call mocked, doesn't executed (and can't find reliable information on how done) function inside .then of diagnosis.findall

i know code works, need cover unit tests , i'm coming dry.

thanks.

i think forgot call $scope.digest() in test. here working fiddle.

after call startediting(), should call $scope.$digest() mock promise executed , can data in then block. hope helps.
