Unknown provider CookieStore

Question

I am having service where I want to use the $cookieStore module. It works fine, but when unit testing it breaks, and gives the error: "$cookieStoreProvider <- $cookieStore <- filtersService".

The service looks like this:

serviceModule.factory('filtersService', ['$rootScope', '$location', '$cookieStore', function($rootScope, $location, $cookieStore){
    return {
        getFilters: function(){...}
}

And the unit test service looks like this:

describe('filtersService tests', function(){
var filtersService;
beforeEach(module('App.services'));

beforeEach(inject(function(filtersService, urlService, $location){

    filtersService = filtersService;
    urlService = urlService;
}));

it('test something', inject(function(filtersService, $location){
    filtersService.getFilters();
   expect(...something...)
}));
});

I have included angular-cookies in the karma test file.

Any idea why the code works when running, but unittests fails?

From the comments above, it seems the dependency on 'ngCookies' is declared in a seperate module.

To fix this try declaring it in your service module:

var serviceModule = angular.app('App.services', ['ngCookies']);

This is the recommended way of fixing this.

If, for some reason, you could not change the serviceModule definition, you could also declare it again in your unit tests:

beforeEach(module('ngCookies','App.services'));

However i would recommend you change it in your code base so your serviceModule does not depend on your main App module for it to function properly.
