How Do Jasmine Spies Work

Jasmine provides the spyOn() function for such purposes. spyOn() takes two parameters: the first parameter is the name of the object and the second parameter is the name of the method to be spied upon. It replaces the spied method with a stub, and does not actually execute the real method.

What is callFake Jasmine?

callFake takes a function as a parameter. This allows you to fake the method call and return a value of your desire. original method signature is myMethod(param1: string): string spyOn(service, ‘myMethod’).and.callFake((param1) => { expect(param1).toBe(‘value’); return ‘returnValue’; });
