Please export testingEffect, flushEffects, resetEffects in @angular/core/testing

[e-oz]

Which @angular/* package(s) are relevant/related to the feature request?

core

Description

Please consider exporting utility functions for testing effect().
They internally import Watch, and I doubt you are going to export Watch, but the functions themselves are quite handy.

Proposed solution

Part of public API of @angular/core/testing

Alternatives considered

Copy-pasting Watch just to recreate these functions, but it's an awful idea.

We've just landed #51049 that introduces the flushEffects() method on TestBed. In our view it should be enough to tests effects under TestBed - please give it a try and let us know how testing goes!

In the future we think of introducing a first-class effect scheduler interface with a specific implementation for tests. This would allow even easier testing, outside of TestBed.

Thank you so much!
