Hi,

it's pretty hard to find examples of unit tests which contain the config 
phase of an Angular app. Most tutorial, apps or blog articles seem to avoid 
this topics. This is confusing for me (and 
others<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18983280/unit-testing-the-config-phase-in-angularjs>).
 
The main problem is, that you can't easily mock and inject providers.

An example:

angular.module('test', []) 
  .config(function($urlRouterProvider) {
    $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/test');
  });

I would really like to have a test like this:

it('should configure a default route', function() {
  // a previously mocked $urlRouterProvider
  expect($urlRouterProvider.otherwise).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

But I can't mock $urlRouterProvider. It seems like the Angular project 
itself test this via using and manipulating $location and $router, but that 
is fairly complex (and unnecessary?) and looks more like an integration 
test or whatever than a unit test.

Is there an easier way to write unit tests for the config phase?
