Testing angular services in rails - testing

Question

I'm trying to test my services with jasmine and I keep gettin and "Unknown provider: AuthServiceProvider <- AuthService in angular/angular.js on line 2683"
my service is defined:
app.factory( 'AuthService', ["$resource", "$rootScope", "apiPrefix", function($resource, $rootScope, apiPrefix) {
auth_resource = $resource(apiPrefix + "/session", {}, {
logout: {method:'GET'}
});
var currentUser;
return {
login: function(email, password, success, failure) {
auth_resource.save({}, {
email: email,
password: password
}, function(response){
currentUser = response
success()
}, function(response){
failure()
});
},
logout: function(success, failure) {
auth_resource.logout(
function(response){
currentUser = undefined
}, function(){
$scope.alerts.push({type: "success", msg: "Logged out" })
}, function(){
$scope.alerts.push({type: "error", msg: "Sorry, something went wrong" })
}
)
},
isLoggedIn: function(){ return currentUser !== undefined},
currentUser: function() { return currentUser; }
};
}]);
and my test:
describe("AuthService", function(){
var httpBackend;
beforeEach(inject(function($httpBackend, AuthService){
module('app');
httpBackend = $httpBackend;
AService = AuthService;
}));
it("should login the user", function(){
// test here
});
});
my jasmine config file is:
// This pulls in all your specs from the javascripts directory into Jasmine:
// spec/javascripts/*_spec.js.coffee
// spec/javascripts/*_spec.js
// spec/javascripts/*_spec.js.erb
//= require application
//= require_tree ./
This seems to be configured properly because I can test my controllers fine so I'm not sure why it doesn't recognize my services.

You can use $injector to get the service and then inject it to the actual test like this
describe("AuthService", function () {
var httpBackend, AService, apiPrefix;
beforeEach(module('app'));
beforeEach(function () {
angular.mock.inject(function ($injector) {
httpBackend = $injector.get('$httpBackend');
apiPrefix = angular.mock.module('apiPrefix'); // I assume you have apiPrefix module defined somewhere in your code.
AService = $injector.get('AuthService', {apiPrefix: apiPrefix});
})
});
it("should login the user", inject(function (AService) {
// test here
}));
});
I assume you have apiPrefix module defined somewhere in your code.
