How to Properly Test the Routing in Your Angular Components: A Guide to Fixing Common Errors

Testing components in Angular, especially when it involves routing, can be a bit tricky and might throw some errors if not set up correctly. This guide aims to dissect a commonly encountered issue when testing routes in an Angular component and provide a comprehensive solution for resolving it.

The Problem: Testing Routes in an Angular Component

Imagine you're working on an Angular application and decide to include a new component that requires routing. When you write a test to check for a specific route, you encounter an error like this:

What Does This Error Mean?

The error message indicates that the test is checking whether the declared routes in your routing module include the route defined in your test. In this case, it's looking for a route path /pages/rfq mapped to the OrderInprogressComponent. However, since the route was not added to the routes array, the test fails.

The Solution: Adding the Missing Route

To resolve this error, all you need to do is correctly declare the required route in your routing module. Here’s how you can do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Update Your Routes

In your routing module file (rfq-routing.module.ts), ensure that you include the route for the OrderInprogressComponent. It should be added alongside any existing routes. Here’s the modified code:

Step 2: Run Your Test Again

After you’ve added the required route, it’s time to run your tests again. The test should pass without any errors this time, confirming that your OrderInprogressComponent is correctly routed.

Additional Tips for Testing Routes

Keep It Simple: Only test routing that adds significant value to your application. If a route is trivial, consider whether you really need to write a test for it.

Use RouterTestingModule: Make sure you're importing RouterTestingModule in your testing module setup. This would often resolve any routing issues during your component tests.

Stay Updated: Regularly review your routing configurations, especially when routes change, to ensure your tests remain relevant.

Conclusion

Testing routes in your Angular components might seem daunting, but with a little understanding and careful setup, it can be straightforward. By adding the necessary route to the routing module, you've taken a crucial step towards ensuring your application behaves as expected. Remember, effective testing not only catches errors but also reinforces the architecture of your application. Happy coding!
