Good afternoon @tdonohue! I followed the example of implementing contextual help in other components. But there is a flaw regarding the Store usage. Angular couldn't find a provider for the Store dependency within the context of the TopLevelCommunityListComponent component. And in this implementation the TopLevelCommunityListComponent depends on the ContextHelpService service, which in turn depends on the Store service.

I've done some research and, as this is a test, I could mock up the Store. Is that feasible?

[tdonohue]

@Andrea-Guevara : Since the error is in a test/spec, you may be able to simply set the "Store" to an empty value, like some other specs do. See for example: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/main/src/app/access-control/group-registry/group-form/group-form.component.spec.ts#L258

That should likely work here, because that group-form.componet.ts is another area that contextual help is used, and that appears to be what was needed in group-form.component.spec.ts.

Good morning @tdonohue! I analyzed what was different and the only thing missing was the “overrideComponent”. I've already added it and the test passed!
