Angular-cli: @angular/core/testing has no exported member addProviders

[jeffarese]

Please provide us with the following information:

1. OS? Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
2. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run
   in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.15
node: 6.5.0
os: linux x64

1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.

I created a new Class using the ng g class generator. In this case, it was a class called user, so I got a user.ts and user.spec.ts
The generated user.spec.ts had the following content:

/* tslint:disable:no-unused-variable */

import { addProviders, async, inject } from '@angular/core/testing';
import {User} from './user';

describe('User', () => {
  it('should create an instance', () => {
    expect(new User()).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

The addProviders give an error because it doesn't exist in @angular/core/testing

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

ERROR in [default] [...]/src/app/core/user/user.spec.ts:3:9 
Module '"[...]/node_modules/@angular/core/testing/index"' has no exported member 'addProviders'.

1. Mention any other details that might be useful.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

AddProviders was deprecated. Use Testbed instead. Also this is angular specific not cli specific

[jeffarese]

@deebloo The thing is that the Angular CLI generates the test file with the AddProviders. I know they are deprecated, my issue was about stating the fact that Angular CLI shouldn't use AddProviders in the generated class.spec.ts

[deebloo]

The newest version of the cli uses Testbed

[deebloo]

That code looks like it is from an old version of the cli

[jeffarese]

My version of CLI is angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.15.
The CLI is using TestBed in most generators (component, service...etc) But not in the class generator. You can check it if you want.

[deebloo]

@Jeffarese nope you are totally correct. Looks like the class generator creates a bad test for class. (apologies I didn't see that you were generating class, thought it was service. Definitely a bug) Good catch

[jeffarese]

Yeah, I'm afraid it's a bug :( no apologies needed!

[deebloo]

I just submitted a PR that removes those imports
