I want to spyOn treatmentInstruction BehaviorSubjectthat is present in my service as mentioned below :

treatmentInstruction = new BehaviorSubject(this.myGlobalVar);
currentTreatmentInstruction = this.treatmentInstruction.asObservable();

Answer 1

spyOnProperty was added on jasmine 2.6.0, be sure that you fulfill that requisite.

Since jasmine is a dependency of karma-jasmine update that instead. Looks like on old version of this library jasmine was added as a peer dependency so it would be up to you to install the correct version of jasmine .

Answer 2

按照“ @ types / jasmine”：“〜2.8.3”，“ jasmine-core”：“〜2.8.0”，

Answer 3

I had this issue, updating jasmine version didn't help. The problem came for jshint, in your test directory you must modify your .jshuntrc file : in "globals": { add => "spyOnProperty" : false

Worked for me
