How to fake jquery.ajax() response?

This question has a few years and for the new versions of jQuery has changed a bit.

To do this with Jasmin you can try Michael Falaga’s approach

Solution

  function ajax_response(response) {
    var deferred = $.Deferred().resolve(response);
    return deferred.promise;
  }

With Jasmine

  describe("Test test", function() {
    beforeEach(function() {
      spyOn($, 'ajax').and.returnValue(
        ajax_response([1, 2, 3])
      );
    });
    it("is it [1, 2, 3]", function() {
      var response;
      $.ajax('GET', 'some/url/i/fancy').done(function(data) {
        response = data;
      });
      expect(response).toEqual([1, 2, 3]);
    });
  });

No Jasmine

  $.ajax = ajax_response([1, 2, 3]);
  $.ajax('GET', 'some/url/i/fancy').done(function(data) {
     console.log(data); // [1, 2, 3]
  });
