angularjs - How to trigger $onInit or $onChanges implictly in unit testing Angular component controller? -

i'm using angular 1.5.5 , jasmine test framework. have test passes:

function createcontroller(bindings) {     return $componentcontroller('mycontroller', null, bindings); }  beforeeach(inject(function (_$componentcontroller_) {     $componentcontroller = _$componentcontroller_; }));  describe('on pages updated', function () {      beforeeach(function () {         controller = createcontroller({prop1: 0, prop2: 0});         controller.$oninit(); // see have explitcitly call $oninit function     });      it('should update isselected , currentpage', function () {         expect(controller.prop1).tobe(0);         expect(controller.prop2).tobe(0);          controller.prop1= 1;         controller.prop2= 2;         controller.$onchanges(controller); // , $onchanges here          expect(controller.prop1).tobe(1);         expect(controller.prop2).tobe(2);     });  }); 

there issue in github regarding this: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/14129

basically working intended, not calling $oninit or $onchanges automatically.

it makes no sense (or low sense) execute $oninit, explain it: $componentcontroller instance controllers kind of replacement $controller, instead of creating instances of controllers registered controllerprovider creates instances of controllers registered through directives (the ones satisfies component definition). so, once have instance of controller, can call manually $oninit, , lifecycle of controller, idea testing controller, not directive (and relationships).
