While running unit tests for the Angular app (Angular 2/Angular 4), I came across the error such as following:
Failed: Template parse error:
There is no directive with “exportAs” set to “ngForm”
Here is the screenshot of the error. Note that the form referenced in this blog is a template-driven form.
This blog represents the resolution of above error.
The template code defined the template reference variable, #signupForm, for form element as shown in the following code.
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" #signupForm="ngForm"> </form>
Following was the unit test code prior fix/resolution:
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing'; import { SignupComponent } from './signup.component'; import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms'; describe('SignupComponent', () => { beforeEach(async(() => { TestBed.configureTestingModule({ <strong>declarations: [ SignupComponent ],</strong> }).compileComponents(); })); it('should create the app', async(() => { const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(SignupComponent); const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance; expect(app).toBeTruthy(); })); });
Pay attention to the inclusion of FormsModule in imports array.
import { TestBed, async } from '@angular/core/testing'; import { SignupComponent } from './signup.component'; import {FormsModule} from '@angular/forms'; describe('SignupComponent', () => { beforeEach(async(() => { TestBed.configureTestingModule({ <strong>declarations: [ SignupComponent ], imports: [ FormsModule, ],</strong> }).compileComponents(); })); it('should create the app', async(() => { const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(SignupComponent); const app = fixture.debugElement.componentInstance; expect(app).toBeTruthy(); })); });
