My NativeScript courses can be found at:

I also have an Ionic book:

I was looking for Http based testing and finally found a great one. Precise and leaves a lot of room for developers to explore further.

Hi Paul, What's the extension you use on VS code to show all failed tests in angular?

[abhinavs]

Great video, can u tell me what extension u have been using?

Hey great video! Which extension are you using to get the colored boxs?

[Alexiscba]

Great video! just one question, How the service knows that dummyPost is the mock to use? where is that configured?

[adamdawidowski]

Hello Paul,
If I see good, you created an array of Posts and then returned the same array in request.
Finally you are checking if created array is the same as received.
I cant understand why are you doing this, it looks really strange to me.
What is the point of comparing the same array to the same array?

Hi sir, Fantastic Tutorial. what is the tool we need install to know immediately for the test case fails or not

[dimon.digital]

What testing plug-in is this? It looks much better then what I am trying to use!

[ChandrakantBobade]

Thanks you so much for it. I was struggling with mock data. Can you please let me know the playlist link. I'm not able to find it.

i just started studying unit test for angular and got some doubts.... what are TestBed and flush() exactly? im struggling to understand it

[RoccoReichelt]

I have a question... you did use VS Code as Code Editor, right?
These red / green dots at the left hand side of your lines of code... Is that an extension? Would you share the name if so? :)

Very good video although the beginning is really abrupt... I thought that I missed the first part or something... a small intro would not be too much ;-) awesome content anyway :-)
