I am trying to test an AngularJS file, but it can't call a method defined in another Controller.

In the MyPage file:

angular.module('MyApplication').controller('MyPageCtrl', function ($scope, $rootScope) {

  if($scope.pageChecker) {

    $scope.doSomething();

  }

}

The pageChecker() method is defined in App.js, in the MyApplication controller, and returns true or false.

For the sake of completeness:

$scope.pageChecker = function() {

  if(cookieCheck) {

    return true;

  }

  else {

    return false;

  }

};

The jasmine file is:

describe(Page check, function(){

  beforeEach(angular.mock.module('MyApplication'));



  beforeEach(angular.mock.inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) {

    var $scope = $rootScope.$new();

    $controller('MyPageCtrl', { $scope: $scope});

  }));



  it(should call $scope.doSomething, function(){

    spyOn($scope, doSomething);

    $scope.doSomething();

    expect($scope.doSomething).toHaveBeenCalled();

  });

});

I get TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating '$scope.pageChecker()')

I want to override the pageChecker method to always return true. How do I do this?

EDIT: Thanks to Dskh, I have my answer, with another tweak from me:

describe(Page check, function(){



  var $scope; //declare here, else it is a local variable inside the beforeEach



  beforeEach(angular.mock.module('MyApplication'));



  beforeEach(angular.mock.inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) {

    $scope = $rootScope.$new();

    // define the overriding methods here

    $scope.pageChecker = function(){

      return true;

    };

    // end overriding methods here

    $controller('MyPageCtrl', { $scope: $scope});

  }));



  it(should call $scope.doSomething, function(){

    spyOn($scope, doSomething);

    $scope.doSomething();

    expect($scope.doSomething).toHaveBeenCalled();

  });

});
