Methods

detectChanges()
Trigger a change detection cycle for the component.
detectChanges(checkNoChanges: boolean = true): void Parameters checkNoChanges boolean Optional. Default is true. Returns void

checkNoChanges()
Do a change detection run to make sure there were no changes.
checkNoChanges(): void Parameters There are no parameters. Returns void

autoDetectChanges()
Set whether the fixture should autodetect changes.
autoDetectChanges(autoDetect: boolean = true) Parameters autoDetect boolean Optional. Default is true.
Also runs detectChanges once so that any existing change is detected.

isStable()
Return whether the fixture is currently stable or has async tasks that have not been completed yet.
isStable(): boolean Parameters There are no parameters. Returns boolean

whenStable()
Get a promise that resolves when the fixture is stable.
whenStable(): Promise<any> Parameters There are no parameters. Returns Promise<any>
This can be used to resume testing after events have triggered asynchronous activity or asynchronous change detection.

whenRenderingDone()
Get a promise that resolves when the ui state is stable following animations.
whenRenderingDone(): Promise<any> Parameters There are no parameters. Returns Promise<any>

destroy()
Trigger component destruction.
destroy(): void Parameters There are no parameters. Returns void
