Reset call on Jasmine spy does not return

The syntax for Jasmine 2 is different than 1.3 with respect to spy functions. See Jasmine docs here.

Specifically you reset a spy with spy.calls.reset();

This is how the test should look like:

// Source
var objectUnderTest = {
    someFunction: function (cb) {
        var promise = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            if (true) {
                cb();
                resolve();
            } else {
                reject(new Error("something bad happened"));
            }
        });
        return promise;
    }
}

// Test
describe('foo', function () {
    it('tests', function (done) {
        var spy = jasmine.createSpy('mySpy');
        objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy).then(function () {
            expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
            done();
        });
    });
    it('tests deeper', function (done) {
        var spy = jasmine.createSpy('mySpy');
        objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy).then(function () {
            expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
            spy.calls.reset();
            return objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy);
        }).then(function () {
            expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
            expect(spy.calls.count()).toBe(1);
            done();
        });
    });
});

Solution 2

Another way to write it:

const spy = spyOn(foo, 'bar');
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
spy.calls.reset();

    I'm using a Jasmine (2.2.0) spy to see if a certain callback is called.

    Test code:

    it('tests', function(done) {
      var spy = jasmine.createSpy('mySpy');
      objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy).then(function() {
        expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
        done();
      });
    });
    

    This works as expected. But now, I'm adding a second level:

    it('tests deeper', function(done) {
      var spy = jasmine.createSpy('mySpy');
      objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy).then(function() {
        expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
        spy.reset();
        return objectUnderTest.someFunction(spy);
      }).then(function() {
        expect(spy.toHaveBeenCalled());
        expect(spy.callCount).toBe(1);
        done();
      });
    });
    

    This test never returns, because apparently the done callback is never called. If I remove the line spy.reset(), the test does finish, but obviously fails on the last expectation. However, the callCount field seems to be undefined, rather than 2.
