Instantiating the test component within an NgZone will let us track async tasks in event handlers and change detection.
We can also do auto change detection when triggering events through dispatchEvent and not have to do fixture.detectChange() manually in the test.
New API:
ComponentFixture.autoDetectChanges() - This puts the fixture in auto detect mode that automatically calls detectChanges when the microtask queue is empty (Similar to how change detection is triggered in an actual application).
ComponentFixture.isStable() - This returns a boolean whether the fixture is currently stable or has some async tasks that need to be completed.
ComponentFixture.whenStable() - This returns a promise that is resolved when the fixture is stable after all async tasks are complete.
Closes#8301
This changes Angular so that it can be used without reflection (assuming a codegen for injectors).
BREAKIKNG CHANGE:
- Drops `APP_COMPONENT` provider. Instead, inject
`ApplicationRef` and read its `componentTypes` property.
- long form bootstrap has changed into the following:
```
var platform = createPlatform(ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(BROWSER_PROVIDERS));
var appInjector =
ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS, appProviders], platform.injector);
coreLoadAndBootstrap(appInjector, MyApp);
```
closes https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/4943
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Location` and other related providers have been moved out of `router` and into `platform/common`. `BrowserPlatformLocation` is not meant to be used directly however advanced configurations may use it via the following import change.
Before:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/router';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/router/location/browser_platform_location';
```
After:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/platform/common';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/location/browser_platform_location';
```
Closes#7962
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

Useful for avoiding doing an actual XHR during testing.
Part of the solution for #4051 (Other part is a Karma plugin that will create the template cache).

@petebacondarwin deserves credit for most of this commit.
This allows you to specify a regex and serializer function instead
of the path DSL in your route declaration.
```
@RouteConfig([
{ regex: '[a-z]+.[0-9]+',
serializer: (params) => `{params.a}.params.b}`,
component: MyComponent }
])
class Component {}
```
Closes#7325Closes#7126
Now, using `ng.probe(element)` in the browser console returns
a DebugElement when in dev mode.
`ComponentFixture#debugElement` also returns a new DebugElement.
Breaking Change:
This is a breaking change for unit tests. The API for the DebugElement
has changed. Now, there is a DebugElement or DebugNode for every node
in the DOM, not only nodes with an ElementRef. `componentViewChildren` is
removed, and `childNodes` is a list of ElementNodes corresponding to every
child in the DOM. `query` no longer takes a scope parameter, since
the entire rendered DOM is included in the `childNodes`.
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.componentViewChildren[0];
```
After
```
// Depending on the DOM structure of your component, the
// index may have changed or the first component child
// may be a sub-child.
componentFixture.debugElement.children[0];
```
Before:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'), Scope.all());
```
After:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'));
```
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.elementRef;
```
After:
```
componentFixture.elementRef;
```
BREAKING CHANGE
WORKER_RENDER_APP is now deprecated. Use WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION instead
WORKER_RENDER_APP_COMMON has been replaced by WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION_COMMON
closes#6184Closes#6378
With providers split into bundles, the test injector is now able to
use providers for a given bundle. Suggested provider lists for tests are
available in `angular2/platform/testing/<platform>`.
Change the providers for a test suite using `setBaseTestProviders`. This
should be done once at the start of the test suite, before any test cases
run.
BREAKING CHANGE: Tests are now required to use `setBaseTestProviders`
to set up. Assuming your tests are run on a browser, setup would change
as follows.
Before:
```js
// Somewhere in test setup
import {BrowserDomAdapter} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/browser_adapter';
BrowserDomAdapter.makeCurrent
```
After:
```js
// Somewhere in the test setup
import {setBaseTestProviders} from 'angular2/testing';
import {
TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS
} from 'angular2/platform/testing/browser';
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
Closes#5351, Closes#5585Closes#5975
BREAKING CHANGE
From the app thread, in both TypeScript and Dart, you bootstrap the app
using `application` instead of `asyncApplication`.
Before:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupWebWorker, optionalProviders?)
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
```
Now:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.application([WORKER_APP_APPLICATION])
.bootstrap(RootComponent);
```
closes#5857Closes#5862
BREAKING CHANGE:
You can no longer bootstrap a WebWorker or Isolate using `bootstrap` or `bootstrapWebWorker`. Instead you have to do the following:
In TypeScript:
```TypeScript
// index.js
import {WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM, WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION, WORKER_SCRIPT} from "angular2/platforms/worker_render";
import {platform} from "angular2/platform";
platform([WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM])
.application([WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION, new Provider(WORKER_SCRIPT, {useValue: "loader.js"});
```
```JavaScript
// loader.js
importScripts("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es6-shim/0.33.3/es6-shim.js", "https://jspm.io/system@0.16.js", "angular2/web_worker/worker.js");
System.import("app");
```
```TypeScript
// app.ts
import {Component, View} from "angular2/core";
import {WORKER_APP_PLATFORM, setupWebWorker} from "angular2/platforms/worker_app";
import {platform} from "angular2/platform";
@Component({
selector: "hello-world"
})
@View({
template: "<h1>Hello {{name}}</h1>
})
export class HelloWorld {
name: string = "Jane";
}
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupWebWorker, optionalProviders?)
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
```
In Dart:
```Dart
// index.dart
import "angular2/platform.dart";
import "angular2/platforms/worker_render.dart";
main() {
platform([WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(initIsolate("my_worker.dart"));
}
```
```Dart
// background_index.dart
import "angular2/platform.dart";
import "angular2/platforms/worker_app.dart";
import "package:angular2/src/core/reflection/reflection.dart";
import "package:angular2/src/core/reflection/reflection_capabilities.dart";
@Component(
selector: "hello-world"
)
@View(
template: "<h1>Hello {{name}}</h1>"
)
class HelloWorld {
String name = "Jane";
}
main(List<String> args, SendPort replyTo) {
reflector.reflectionCapabilities = new ReflectionCapabilities();
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupIsolate(replyTo))
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
}
```
You should no longer import from the `angular2/web_worker/worker` and `angular2/web_worker/ui` paths. Instead you can now import directly from core, directives, etc..
The WebWorkerApplication class has been removed. If you want to use ServiceMessageBroker or ClientMessageBroker on the render thread, you must inject their factories via DI.
If you need to use the MessageBus on the render thread you must also obtain it through DI.

BREAKING CHANGE
Before
import * as p from 'angular2/profile';
import * as t from 'angular2/tools';
After
import * as p from 'angular2/instrumentation';
import * as t from 'angular2/platform/browser';
Often some init logic needs to run when a platform or an application is boostrapped.
For example, boostraping a platform requires initializing the dom adapter.
Now, it can be done as follows:
new Provider(PLATFORM_INITIALIZER, {useValue: initDomAdapter, multi: true}),
All platform initializers will be run after the platform injector has been created.
Similarly, all application initializers will be run after the app injector has been
created.
Closes#5355
Currently, core depends on DomRenderer, which depends on the browser.
This means that if you depend on angular2/core, you will always
pull in the browser dom adapter and the browser render, regardless
if you need them or not.
This PR moves the browser dom adapter and the browser renderer out of core.
BREAKING CHANGE
If you import browser adapter or dom renderer directly (not via angular2/core),
you will have to change the import path.
Currently, core depends on the browser, which means that other platforms (e.g., NativeScript or webworker) cannot use the bootstrapping logic core provides.
This PR extract makes bootstrapping logic in core completely platform-independent. The browser-specific code was moved to "angular2/platforms/browser".
BREAKING CHANGE
A few private helpers (e.g., platformCommon or applicationCommon) were removed or replaced with other helpers. Look at PLATFORM_COMMON_PROVIDERS, APPLICATION_COMMON_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS to see if they export the providers you need.
