How do I mock local variable for a function in a service? Jasmine/Karma tests

Question

An Angular service has several functions. All of them make use of a local variable defined via a var varName at the top of the file.

Is there any way of mocking this variable when unit-testing the function?

i appreciate this was asked a while ago now, but quick suggestion: if you were to put a code example here, someone may provide you with a more in-depth answer, with multiple options for your situation — Darren Shewry, Nov 19 '15 at 13:18

In short no.

The simplest way would be to put it on $scope level. Or Maybe as an angularjs constant

Or if you'r a really crazy dude you can make a script that change the value of the var, but seriously don't do that, it's crazy.
