It's kind of longwinded, but you can define custom matchers which understand futures. For example:
angular.scenario.matcher('toBeGreaterThanFuture', function(future) {
return +this.actual > +future.value;
});
Use like:
listLengthBefore = repeater('.td').count();
// Do some stuff.
listLengthAfter = repeater('.td').count();
expect(listLengthAfter).toBeGreaterThanFuture(listLengthBefore);
