Angular 2 and jasmine unit testing: unable to get innerHtml

Question

I use one of the examples that test the "WelcomeComponent" component:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { UserService }       from './model/user.service';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-welcome',
     template: '<h3>{{welcome}}</h3>'
})
export class WelcomeComponent implements OnInit {
    welcome = '-- not initialized yet --';
    constructor(private userService: UserService) { }

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.welcome = this.userService.isLoggedIn ?
            'Welcome  ' + this.userService.user.name :
            'Please log in.';
    }
}

This is a test case, I am checking if "h3" contains the username "Bubba":

import { ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { By }              from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { DebugElement }    from '@angular/core';

import { UserService }       from './model/user.service';
import { WelcomeComponent } from './welcome.component';


describe('WelcomeComponent', () => {

    let comp: WelcomeComponent;
    let fixture: ComponentFixture<WelcomeComponent>;
    let componentUserService: UserService; // the actually injected service
    let userService: UserService; // the TestBed injected service
    let de: DebugElement;  // the DebugElement with the welcome message
    let el: HTMLElement; // the DOM element with the welcome message

    let userServiceStub: {
        isLoggedIn: boolean;
        user: { name: string }
    };

    beforeEach(() => {
        // stub UserService for test purposes
        userServiceStub = {
            isLoggedIn: true,
            user: { name: 'Test User' }
        };

        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [WelcomeComponent],
            // providers:    [ UserService ]  // NO! Don't provide the real service!
            // Provide a test-double instead
            providers: [{ provide: UserService, useValue: userServiceStub }]
        });

        fixture = TestBed.createComponent(WelcomeComponent);
        comp = fixture.componentInstance;

        // UserService actually injected into the component
        userService = fixture.debugElement.injector.get(UserService);
        componentUserService = userService;
        // UserService from the root injector
        userService = TestBed.get(UserService);
        //  get the "welcome" element by CSS selector (e.g., by class name)
        el = fixture.debugElement.nativeElement; // de.nativeElement;
    });


    it('should welcome "Bubba"', () => {
        userService.user.name = 'Bubba'; // welcome message hasn't been shown yet
        fixture.detectChanges();
        const content = el.querySelector('h3');
        expect(content).toContain('Bubba');
    });
});

When testing and debugging a test case using Karma, if I evaluate "el.querySelector (" h3 ") in the console, it shows the following

<h3>Welcome  Bubba</h3>

How can I get the innerHtml of the header, since it is not resolved when included in the ts file, and the test case is always false.

Here's what he says: "innerHTML" does not exist in the type "HTMLHeadingElement"

Answer 1

, content

const content = el.querySelector('h3');
expect(content).toContain('Bubba');

HTMLNode, . , HTMLNode . .

HTML content.innerHTML, content.textContent ( <h3>

const content = el.querySelector('h3');
expect(content.innerHTML).toContain('Bubba');
expect(content.textContent).toContain('Bubba');
