Mixing
Jasmine Unit testing define library that was imported as a global variable
I have a project that uses pdfMake to generate a PDF. To use it I include the file in my index.html
<script src='js/pdfmake.js'></script>
<script src='js/vfs_fonts.js'></script>
Inside pdfmake.js it declares global["pdfMake"] which then allows me to use the library in my service.
pdfService:
pdfMake.createPdf(docDefinition).download(fileName);
Everything works great but when I tried to test ths method in my service I get an error that the test can't find the variable pdfMake. That makes sense considering it's loaded by index.html.
How can I replace this library with a mock in my test?
I've tried using a spy but since makePdf isn't a function that doesn't work. spyOn(service, 'makePdf').
I tried just setting it as a variable but that also didn't work and I get: Strict mode forbids implicit creation of global property 'pdfMake'
pdfMake = {
createPdf: jasmine.createSpy('createPdf').and.returnValue({
download: jasmine.createSpy('download')
}
}

It should work. Have you had a look at stackoverflow.com/questions/13794637/… ?

If anyone else is having an issue with this first to get rid of the implicit creation error make sure you declare your variable first sovar pdfMakeand when you create your spy attatch it to the window object

I got the same problem and solved inserting the pdfMake mock on global variable window inside the unit test. So, in your case will be something like this:
window.pdfMake = {
createPdf: jasmine.createSpy('createPdf')
.and.returnValue({
download: jasmine.createSpy('download')
}),
};

I just fixed this issue by making below changes-
Declare pdfMake variable globally in your .ts file like-
declare var pdfMake;
And then mock the pdfMake function in your .spec file like this-
window['pdfMake'] = {
createPdf: function (param) {
return {
open: function () {
return true;
},
download: function () {
return true;
}
};
}
};
