This contains major changes to the compiler, bootstrap of the platforms
and test environment initialization.
Main part of #10043Closes#10164
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Semantics and name of `@AppModule` (now `@NgModule`) changed quite a bit.
This is actually not breaking as `@AppModules` were not part of rc.4.
We will have detailed docs on `@NgModule` separately.
- `coreLoadAndBootstrap` and `coreBootstrap` can't be used any more (without migration support).
Use `bootstrapModule` / `bootstrapModuleFactory` instead.
- All Components listed in routes have to be part of the `declarations` of an NgModule.
Either directly on the bootstrap module / lazy loaded module, or in an NgModule imported by them.
This removes the magic from the `inject` test helper that would inspect
the current zone and would only work with our `async` test helper.
Now, `inject` is always synchronous, and if you are using a module
that requires async precompilation, you're required to call
`doAsyncPrecompilation` in your tests.
This is part of the breaking changes introduced with the swap
to each test having an AppModule.
Closes#9975Closes#9593
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestInjector` is now renamed to `TestBed`
Before:
```js
import {TestInjector, getTestInjector} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
After:
```js
import {TestBed, getTestBed} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
Every test now has an implicit module. It can be configured via `configureModule` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers, directives, pipes, ...
The compiler now has to be configured separately via `configureCompiler` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers or define whether to use jit.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Application providers can no longer inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead. This reflects the
changes to `bootstrap` for module support (3f55aa609f).
- Compiler providers can no longer be added via `addProviders` / `withProviders`.
Use the new method `configureCompiler` instead.
- Platform directives / pipes need to be provided via
`configureModule` and can no longer be provided via the
`PLATFORM_PIPES` / `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES` tokens.
- `setBaseTestProviders()` was renamed into `initTestEnvironment` and
now takes a `PlatformRef` and a factory for a
`Compiler`.
- E.g. for the browser platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {browserTestCompiler, browserDynamicTestPlatform,
BrowserDynamicTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
browserTestCompiler,
browserDynamicTestPlatform(),
BrowserDynamicTestModule);
```
- E.g. for the server platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {serverTestCompiler, serverTestPlatform,
ServerTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
serverTestCompiler,
serverTestPlatform(),
ServerTestModule);
```
Related to #9726Closes#9846
Adds new abstraction `Compiler` with methods
`compileComponentAsync` and `compileComponentSync`.
This is in preparation of deprecating `ComponentResolver`.
`compileComponentSync` is able to compile components
synchronously given all components either have an inline
template or they have been compiled before.
Also changes `TestComponentBuilder.createSync` to
take a `Type` and use the new `compileComponentSync` method.
Also supports overriding the component metadata even if
the component has already been compiled.
Also fixes#7084 in a better way.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestComponentBuilder.createSync` now takes a component type
and throws if not all templates are either inlined
are compiled before via `createAsync`.
Closes#9594
TestComponentBuilder now lives in core/testing. compiler/testing contains a private
OverridingTestComponentBuilder implementation which handles the private behavior
we need to override templates. This is part of the effort to simplify the testing
imports and hide compiler APIs.
Closes#9585
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestComponentBuilder` is now imported from `@angular/core/testing`. Imports
from `@angular/compiler/testing` are deprecated.
Before:
```
import {TestComponentBuilder, TestComponentRenderer, ComponentFixtureAutoDetect} from '@angular/compiler/testing';
```
After:
```
import {TestComponentBuilder, TestComponentRenderer, ComponentFixtureAutoDetect} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
`ComponentFixture` will be moving out of `@angular/compiler/testing` to `@angular/core/testing` in
this release. For now, it is deprecated from `@angular/compiler/testing`.
