InitialState of Store with 2 reducers while testing a component

I am trying to test a component. It uses 2 different reducer states with Ngrx. How can I tell in the initialState of the test which one comes from AppState and the other comes from AdminState (LazyLoaded) please?

describe('UploadImageComponent', () => {
  let component: UploadImageComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<UploadImageComponent>;
  const initialState = {
    selectedPage: null,         // comes from AppState
    pages: [],                  // comes from AppState
    uploadLoading: false,       // comes from AdminState (LazyLoaded)
    thumbnailIsCreating: false  // comes from AdminState (LazyLoaded)
  };

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [UploadImageComponent],
      imports: [
        RouterTestingModule,
        AngularFireDatabaseModule,
        AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase)
      ],
      providers: [
        PageDbService,
        AdminService,
        PagesService,
        provideMockStore({ initialState }),
      ]
    })
      .compileComponents();
  });

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(UploadImageComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  it('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

While running ng test, karma says :

TypeError: Cannot read property 'thumbnailIsCreating' of undefined

I think selectedPage and pages are well passed, but not the two others from AdminState. Is it because AdminState is lazyLoaded? Or maybe the initialState is wrong?

It's most likely your initialState is wrong.

Download the Redux dev tools (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redux-devtools/lmhkpmbekcpmknklioeibfkpmmfibljd?hl=en, there is also a Firefox one) and see the structure of your store using that tool. This is how you configure it (https://ngrx.io/guide/store-devtools) and then you can do npm start and should see the structure of your store.

I bet your initialState should be something like this:

initialState = {
  selectedPage: null,         // comes from AppState
  pages: [],
  admin: {
      uploadLoading: false,       // comes from AdminState (LazyLoaded)
      thumbnailIsCreating: false
  }             
 
}
