Jest custom testing API, how to correct code frame

I'm looking to simplify my project's testing API where I am aiming for something like this:
testThing((t) => {
t(33);
t(44);
t(42);
})
Now I don't know how to get Jest to show the correct code frames for failed expect's. This is my current stab at an implementation:
const testThing = (callback: any) => {
callback((n: any) => {
test(n.toString(), () => {
expect(n).toBe(42);
});
});
};
Which results in the testThing definition to be shown for every failed test case. Here's a replit if you want to see it in action: https://replit.com/#grgr/jest-frame-issue#thing.test.js

Fetching data from JSON file returning nothing

I am building a solar system app and I want to have all of my planet's info in a JSON file for easy access. The JSON file is in the following format
Planet-info.json, in the public folder of my React app
"planets": [
{
"Name": "Mercury",
"Description": "The smallest planet in our solar system and closest to the Sun—is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. Mercury is the fastest planet, zipping around the Sun every 88 Earth days.",
"Moons": 0,
"Habititable": "false"
},
{
"Name": "Venus",
"Description": "is hot",
"Moons": 0,
"Habititable": "false"
}
]
And I am fetching the data with the useEffect hook
const [planetData, setPlanetData] = useState();
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = () => {
fetch("/planet-info.json").then((result) => {
setPlanetData(result);
});
};
fetchData();
console.log(`planet data is ${planetData}`);
}, []);
However when this code runs and the console.log statement runs it returns the line
planet data is
It does not say undefined, or even [Object object] it is simply blank and I am unable to troubleshoot from there.

fetchData runs asynchronously. So what's happening is
fetchData starts
console.log executes(before the json file has the chance to load)
when the fetch completes, setPlanetData(result) happens.
If you want to see the value printed out, this should do it:
useEffect(() => {
fetch("/planet-info.json").then(result => {
const json = result.json();
console.log(json);
setPlanetData(json);
});
});

How to make a list of failed specs using jasmine custom reporter to post to slack?

I am trying to work on a custom jasmine reporter and get a list of all the failed specs in the specDone function:
specDone: function(result) {
if(result.status == 'failed') {
failedExpectations.push(result.fullName);
console.log(failedExpectations);
}
}
where failedExpectations will store an entire list of the failed specs and i need to access this in the afterLaunch function in the protractor config file. But due to the fact that the config file loads everytime a new spec runs it basically gets overwritten and scoping is such that I cannot access it in the afterLaunch function, that is where I am making the call to the slack api. Is there a way to achieve this?
This is what i have it based on : http://jasmine.github.io/2.1/custom_reporter.html

I think the best way is to post the results asynchronously after each spec (*or every "it" and "describe") using #slack/web-api. This way you don't have to worry about overwriting. Basically you "collect" all the results during the test run and send it before the next suite starts.
Keep in mind all of this should be done as a class.
First you prepare your you '#slack/web-api', so install it (https://www.npmjs.com/package/#slack/web-api).
npm i -D '#slack/web-api'
Then import it in your reporter:
import { WebClient } from '#slack/web-api';
And initialize it with your token. (https://slack.com/intl/en-pl/help/articles/215770388-Create-and-regenerate-API-tokens):
this.channel = yourSlackChannel;
this.slackApp = new WebClient(yourAuthToken);
Don't forget to invite your slack app to the channel.
Then prepare your result "interface" according to your needs and possibilities. For example:
this.results = {
title: '',
status: '',
color: '',
successTests: [],
fails: [],
};
Then prepare a method / function for posting your results:
postResultOnSlack = (res) => {
try {
this.slackApp.chat.postMessage({
text: `Suit name: ${res.title}`,
icon_emoji: ':clipboard:',
attachments: [
{
color: res.color,
fields: [
{
title: 'Successful tests:',
value: ` ${res.successTests}`,
short: false
},
{
title: 'Failed tests:',
value: ` ${res.fails}`,
short: false
},
]
}
],
channel: this.channel
});
console.log('Message posted!');
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
When you got all of this ready it's time to "collect" your results.
So on every 'suitStart' remember to "clear" the results:
suiteStarted(result) {
this.results.title = result.fullName;
this.results.status = '';
this.results.color = '';
this.results.successTests = [];
this.results.fails = [];
}
Then collect success and failed tests:
onSpecDone(result) {
this.results.status = result.status
// here you can push result messages or whole stack or do both:
this.results.successTests.push(`${test.passedExpectations}`);
for(var i = 0; i < result.failedExpectations.length; i++) {
this.results.fails.push(test.failedExpectations[i].message);
}
// I'm not sure what is the type of status but I guess it's like this:
result.status==1 ? this.results.color = #DC143C : this.results.color = #048a04;
}
And finally send them:
suiteDone() {
this.postResultOnSlack(this.results);
}
NOTE: It is just a draft based on reporter of mine. I just wanted to show you the flow. I was looking at Jasmine custom reporter but this was based on WDIO custom reporter based on 'spec reporter'. They are all very similar but you probably have to adjust it. The main point is to collect the results during the test and send them after each part of test run.
*You can look up this explanation: https://webdriver.io/docs/customreporter.html
I highly recommend this framework, you can use it with Jasmine on top.

Why is Jasmine not resetting a spy when spying on $.ajax?

I am trying to spy on $.ajax in Jasmine 2.0 tests. Here is a simplified example (TypeScript) showing my scenario:
describe("first test", () => {
var deferred = jQuery.Deferred();
spyOn($, "ajax").and.callFake((uri: string, settings: JQueryAjaxSettings) => {
return deferred.resolve("ThisIsADummyResult");
});
it("should return dummy result", done => {
$.ajax("http://somedummyserver.net").then(result => {
expect(result).toBe("ThisIsADummyResult");
done();
});
});
});
describe("second test", () => {
var deferred = jQuery.Deferred();
spyOn($, "ajax").and.callFake((uri: string, settings: JQueryAjaxSettings) => {
return deferred.resolve("ThisIsAnotherResult");
});
it("should return another result", done => {
$.ajax("http://somedummyserver.net").then(result => {
expect(result).toBe("ThisIsAnotherResult");
done();
});
});
});
firstTest as well as second test work if I run them alone. However, if I run both tests as shown above, I get the following error message: ajax has already been spied upon.
So my questions are:
Shouldn't the spies be reset by Jasmine after each test automatically? Why doesn't that work in my case?
Is there another way of using spyOn which makes Jasmine reset the spies?
How can I manually reset the spies?
Update: I continued experimenting and found a possible solution myself. If I set up the spies inside of the it spec, both tests run fine. Here is the code for first test showing what I mean:
describe("first test", () => {
it("should return dummy result", done => {
var deferred = jQuery.Deferred();
spyOn($, "ajax").and.callFake((uri: string, settings: JQueryAjaxSettings) => {
return deferred.resolve("ThisIsADummyResult");
});
$.ajax("http://somedummyserver.net").then(result => {
expect(result).toBe("ThisIsADummyResult");
done();
});
});
});
Still, it would be very interesting why the first version does not work. Why does Jasmine not reset the spies in the first version whereas it does in the second one?

For stuff that is used across all tests but you need it reset for each test use 'beforeEach' : http://jasmine.github.io/2.0/introduction.html#section-Setup_and_Teardown
Jasmine does not magically know which lines of your describe body you want reevaluated for each 'it' block.

Meteor collection always returns undefined on client

Im new to meteor and have been trying to learn the framework via the discover meteor book. Im having a few issue understanding what exactly is going on in my application (found here https://github.com/Themitchell/Sound-wav.es).
Essentially, my understanding is that on my server side I allow publications for certain collections which take arguments from my client side subscribe calls. For this part on my server i have this in my server/publications.js file:
Meteor.publish('studios', function (options) {
return Studios.find({
userId: this.userId
}, options);
});
Meteor.publish('studio', function (id) {
return id && Studios.find({
userId: this.userId,
_id: id
});
});
Next we would need a controller to handle the routing and deal with waiting for any subscriptions required, then, once the subscriptions are ready (hence the waitOn) go and render the template providing the data function as a reactive data source for the templates.
So I then set up my 2 routes for indexing studios and showing one studio using iron router and 'Controllers' as follows:
StudiosIndexController = RouteController.extend({
template: 'studiosIndex',
increment: 20,
limit: function () {
return parseInt(this.params.studiosLimit) || this.increment;
},
findOptions: function () {
return {
sort: this.sort,
limit: this.limit()
};
},
waitOn: function () {
return Meteor.subscribe('studios', this.findOptions());
},
studios: function () {
return Studios.find({}, this.findOptions());
},
data: function () {
return {
studios: this.studios()
};
}
});
ShowStudioController = RouteController.extend({
template: 'showStudio',
waitOn: function () {
return Meteor.subscribe('studio', this.params._id);
},
studio: function () {
return Studios.findOne(this.params._id);
},
data: function () {
return {
studio: this.studio()
};
}
});
Router.map(function () {
this.route('studiosIndex', {
path: '/',
controller: StudiosIndexController
});
this.route('showStudio', {
path: '/studios/:_id',
controller: ShowStudioController
});
});
Now this is great and works fine when displaying my index page. I get a list of collections which is reactive and the as i introduce new studios to the collection i see them get created on the server and on the client respectively. However in my show view when the view is rendered the data always seems to be empty. On dropping into my show controller's data function with a debugger I tried querying the Studios and this always returns undefined even when i try to fetch everything possible. Oddly I know that my publications are logging the correct id for a studio (using console.log). It seems that i get all the correct data up until the routing on the client side. The parameter ids are all correct but a find() call on studios always returns nothing. Am I missing something obvious here.
Its also worth noting i deleted my helpers for 'studios' and 'studio' in views/studios/index.js and views/studios/show.js respectively as my understanding is that this is what im doing with studios and studio in the controller. These helpers are now defined at the controller level and passsed to the reactive 'data' function. IS this correct?
TL;DR
With the code above my index action works however my show action fails where the data function always returns undefined and in fact on the show page i cannot get access to any of my studio information (Studios.find({}).count() always returns 0). I'm unsure how the 2 routes differ. Can anyone spot the issue?
Edit: Its also worth noting having looked through some of the iron router issues on github i have tried using this.ready(). The first time the route is run i hit data and this is false but then even wrapping my data helpers to wait for this.ready() gets an undefined return value when this.ready() returns true.
Extra Notes
Im running meteor 0.8.0 with latest 0.7.0 release of iron router and collection2 with simple schema, just in case you are interested / require this info.
EDIT: Possible solution
So having fiddled around it seems like my helpers are the issue. By using the 'studio' section and then calling this.studio() inside my data function this seems to break. If I change the code below:
ShowStudioController = RouteController.extend({
template: 'showStudio',
waitOn: function () {
return Meteor.subscribe('studio', this.params._id);
},
studio: function () {
return Studios.findOne(this.params._id);
},
data: function () {
return {
studio: this.studio()
};
}
});
to this
ShowStudioController = RouteController.extend({
template: 'showStudio',
waitOn: function () {
return Meteor.subscribe('studio', this.params._id);
},
data: function () {
return Studios.findOne(this.params._id);
}
});
My view renders correctly again. Im unsure where i saw this pattern however I had assumed the function assigned to 'studio' was essentially the same as doing
Template.showStudio.helpers({
studio: function () {
return Studios.findOne(this.params._id)
}
});
but it seems not!
