Angular.js无法找到我的控制器

Question

I am using angular-mock to inject my controller for unit testing. I am failing to do so since I keep getting the following error.

 [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: PatientRecordsControllerProvider <- PatientRecordsController

Here is my code setup -

    (function () {
angular.module('patient_profile', ['ngRoute']);
    })();


(function () {
    var PatientRecordsController = function () {

    };

    angular.module('patient_profile').controller('PatientRecordsController', PatientRecordsController);
})();

And my test case

    describe('PatientRecordsController:unit-testing', function () {

    beforeEach(module('patient_profile'));

    it('timeline should be an array', inject(['PatientRecordsController',
        function (controller) {
            //Cant do stuff
        }
    ]));

});

UPDATE The same procedure works perfectly fine with services. How come?

Answer 1

Controller has to be instantiated using $controller service. Isn't the below format of test cleaner?

describe('PatientRecordsController:unit-testing', function () {
    var controller;

    beforeEach(function(){
        module('patient_profile');

        inject(function(_$controller_){
            controller = _$controller_('PatientRecordsController', {});
        });
    });

    it('timeline should be an array', function(){
        //DO STUFF using controller
    });
});
