javascript - How to inject the store into an Ember.Service in unit tests? - Stack Overflow

In my app I have this initializer which injects the store into all services:

export function initialize(container, application) {
  application.inject('service', 'store', 'store:main');
}

export default {
  name: 'inject-store-in-services',
  initialize: initialize
};

My problem is that when I run unit tests, services don’t have the store property. So my question: is there a way to achieve what my initializer does but inside a unit test context?

• Mock the store, a unit test shouldn't be going outside the scope of the service. – Kingpin2k Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 14:17
• @Kingpin2k My service is actually just a wrapper around predefined operations on models that I don’t want to repeat everywhere in my app. I need to test that it returns a DS.Model with the correct properties set. Mocking the store would just test my mocks so... – charles_demers Commented Apr 3, 2015 at 14:24
• It doesn't work when you run your tests.. Does it work when your app runs normally (not in test mode)? – jmurphyau Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 9:36
• It could be failing because your initialiser might be running before the store initialiser - which would mean it's not available yet – jmurphyau Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 9:42

In recent versions of Ember you can inject the store as a service, e.g:

Ember.Service.extend({
  store: Ember.inject.service()
});

It gets the service name from the property name, so if you call it something else you need to specify 'store'.. e.g:

Ember.Service.extend({
  banana: Ember.inject.service('store')
});
