I have an Angular 2 app I'm working on, which for some compatibility reasons with legacy code, needs to get some information via attributes used on the app component. For example, the html that launches the angular 2 app would look like this:

```
<myApp id="xyz" areaDone="true" value="" requestID="abc"> Loading ... </myApp>

```

However, when I try to write some unit tests around the behavior that is supposed to occur based on the presence and value of these attributes, they are null/undefined. 

To get the values, we are just pulling them in the constructor like this:

```
        let native = this.elementRef.nativeElement;
        this.requestID= native.getAttribute("requestID");

```

So, is there a way through the testbed/providers to force a native element that should have the expected attributes?
