Class: Spy

jasmine. Spy

new Spy()

Jasmine Spies are test doubles that can act as stubs, spies, fakes or when used in an expecation, mocks. Spies should be created in test setup, before expectations. They can then be checked, using the standard Jasmine expectation syntax. Spies can be checked if they were called or not and what the calling params were. Spies are torn down at the end of every spec.
Spies can be created using spyOn, jasmine.createSpy or jasmine.createSpyObj. To check whether a variable contains a spy, please use jasmine.isSpy.

See:

spyOn, jasmine.createSpy, jasmine.createSpyObj
