In my project I build some of my HTTP requests like so:

var options = {
    params:{
        foo: 'bar'
        hello: world
    }
};
$http.get("my/service", options)

Which means that the final HTTP call looks something like my/service?foo=bar&hello=worldVar

How do I setup my $httpBackend to account for this?

The problems I see are:

  1. I'm not guaranteed order in my parameters with this style, which means setting up the first parameter in expectGet will be hard.
  2. Its hard to test calls when I really don't care about the parameters

The best solution I've found to this is to use the override of expect/when that accepts a function, and to mix it in with this answer. That gets me to something like

$httpBackend.expectGET(function(url){
    var parser = document.createElement('a');
    parser.href=url;
    return parser.search.indexOf('foo=bar') > -1 && 
           parser.search.indexOf('hello=world') > -1;
})

or if I don't care about the parameters I can just test for parser.pathname.

However, this still isnt perfect because its a pain to test that I dont have extra parameters, so Im still actively looking for an alternative solution.

if you don't care about the parameters, you can just use regex to match to the static part of the URL: 

$httpBackend.whenGET(/my\/service/)
