My question is extremely close to that one :

Update Angular model after setting input value with jQuery

But, here, my input is modified by the val() method of Karma runner : 

element('#stuff_input').val('theNewValForStuff');

I won't detail my test here, it would be irrelevant. But you will easily guess that the test will fail if binding is not properly maintained.

In production, #stuff_input is actually modified with the keyboard by user, never with any jQuery method of course. So I don't want to use $watch, I don't want to introduce any more complexity into my production code just because :

1) Karma do not allow keyboard input natively

2) Karma event do not maintain data-binding with val()

Any idea of how to solve this ?

Thanks

Do you mean angular.element('#stuff_input').val(...)? –  Michael Benford Aug 28 at 13:28
 
No, it is within karma test, so i'm reaching the element directly with element(...) –  dabee Aug 28 at 14:30

Oh, I see, you mean ngScenario's element function. Have you tried input(model_name).enter(value)? –  Michael Benford Aug 28 at 15:10
 
Michaeal Benford has the above correct answer : input(model_name).enter(value). I feel it more like a hackn but it work so I would have tick it as the correct answer if I could. –  dabee Sep 30 at 11:10
