The 'ngModel' property cannot be bound to a 'textarea' element because it is not recognized as a valid property

When I run Karma with Jasmine tests, I encounter the following error message:

The issue is that 'ngModel' cannot be bound since it is not recognized as a property of 'textarea'.

Even though I have imported FormsModule into my app.module and added it to testBed, this error only occurs when running Karma.

The application functions correctly, and there are no sub-modules present.

I am using Angular 4.0.0 along with Angular CLI 1.0.4.

app.module.ts

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    NoteComponent,
    NotesListComponent,
    AddNoteButtonComponent,
    AboutComponent,
    NoteWrapperComponent,
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    CommonModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot([ /** Rest of the code... **/

note.component.html

<textarea title="" class="no-extra n-note__textarea n-note__textarea--transparent" [(ngModel)]="note.description"
              name="description" (blur)="updateNote($event)">
      {{note.description}}
    </textarea>

note.component.spec.js

import { async, ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';

import { expect, assert } from 'chai';

import { NoteComponent } from './note.component';
import { Note } from './note';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';


describe('NoteComponent', () => {
  let component: NoteComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<NoteComponent>;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [NoteComponent],
      imports: [HttpModule, BrowserModule, CommonModule, FormsModule],
    })
      .compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(NoteComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should be defined', () => {
    assert.isDefined(NoteComponent);
  });

  it('should be created', () => {
    expect(component).to.be.an('object');
  });

  describe('public API', () => {
    const note: Note = new Note(1, '', '');

    it('markAsDone method should set done parameter to true', () => {
      component.note = note;
      component.markAsDone();
      expect(note._done).to.be.true;
    });

    it('markAsDiscarded method should set discarded parameter to true', () => {
      component.note = note;
      component.markAsDiscarded();
      expect(note._deleted).to.be.true;
    });

    it('markAsStarred method should set starred parameter to true', () => {
      component.note = note;
      component.markAsStarred();
      expect(note._starred).to.be.true;
    });
  });
});

Answer №1

After looking through the code, I noticed that you had already attempted to solve the issue. However, I found a solution that worked for me.

In my scenario, I included the following line in my specifications:

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

Additionally, I made sure to add FormsModule to the imports section of the test bed configuration.
