Don't call Angular lifecycle hooks yourself. The TestBed fixture will call them for you. Just check the results

This is part of a component or directive. You shouldn't test "methods", IMHO. You should test that the component behaves as it should behave.

I dont understand what that means

[shrewd temple]

Should the component display some message or data or sub component? Then test that it displays the message or data or sub component.

it('should create Component', (): void => {
  expect(component.contentHost) // ...
});

not sure myself, I didnt write the code

[shrewd temple]

If you don't know what the component is supposed to do, then you're not the one who should be testing it.
