Testing e2e and $ timeout

Question

In my application, I have a $ timeout that fires every minute and assigns a different $ timeout. Because of this, my e2e tests are waiting for $ timeout and do not want to work at all. As far as I understand, there is no way to say karma, so as not to wait for a certain $ timeout. But is there a way to detect that the code works in a karma environment and does not run this $ timeout at all?

Answer 1

I did not find an elegant solution. At this point, I decided to pass the flag to the URL, parse it, and disable this special $ timeout, depending on this flag. This solution does not look very good, but it works. Hopefully later angular will have some kind of e2e dsl commands for this kind of thing.

From AngularJS docs :

In tests, you can use $ timeout.flush () to synchronously flush the pending function queue.

If you call a lot of $ timeouts, you can use the waitsFor jasmine function. Something like that:

waitsFor(function () { $timeout.flush(); return workedThreeTimes(); }, 'should run something per minute', 1000 * 60 * 3); 

(sorry for my English)
