I want to test if this.service.someMethod is called using jasmine spy.
Source file:
// src.ts
import { Service } from 'some-package';
export class Component {
service = new Service();
callMethod() {
this.service.thatMethod();
}
}
Spec file:
// src.spec.ts
import { Component } from './src';
describe('test', () => {
it('calls thatMethod of service', () => {
let comp = new Component();
spyOn(comp.service, 'thatMethod').and.callThrough();
comp.callMethod();
expect(comp.service.thatMethod).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
Output:
Failed test: Expected comp.service.thatMethod to have been called.
I would suggest you to refactor your code and take advantage of IoC (inversion of control) pattern. That means that you have to get rid of Service dependency in your Component class and inject it manually, like this:
export class Component {
constructor(service) {
this.service = service;
}
callMethod() {
this.service.thatMethod();
}
}
// Elsewhere in your code
import { Service } from 'some-package';
const component = new Component(new Service());
This approach will allow you to test your components effectively with Service mock:
import { Component } from './src';
describe('test', () => {
it('calls thatMethod of service', () => {
const service = jasmine.createSpyObj('service', ['thatMethod']);
let comp = new Component(service);
comp.callMethod();
expect(service.thatMethod).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
I'm using React in my application. I'm making an API call in my componentDidMount but it is conditional. My code in component is
componentDidMount() {
if (!this.props.fetch) {
fetchAPICall()
.then(() => {
/** Do something **/
});
}
}
I've written test as :
it('should not fetch ', () => {
const TFCRender = mount(<Component fetch />);
const didMountSpy = jest.spyOn(TFCRender.prototype, 'componentDidMount');
expect(didMountSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(fetchAPICall).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(0);
});
The test is throwing me error as
TypeError: Cannot read property 'componentDidMount' of undefined
What am I doing wrong and what is the right way to test such case.
From the official docs, you need to spy the component before mounting it.
Following is a working example that I have created with create-react-app. I've also added some comments in the example code:
App.js
import { fetchAPICall } from './api';
class App extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
if (!this.props.fetch) {
fetchAPICall().then(console.log);
}
}
render() {
return <div>Testing the result</div>;
}
}
export default App;
api.js
export const fetchAPICall = () => {
return Promise.resolve('Getting some data from the API endpoint');
};
App.test.js
import Component from './App';
import * as apis from './api'; // assuming you have a separate file for these APIs
// Mock the fetchAPICall, and since the data fetching is asynchronous
// you have to mock its implementation with Promise.resolve()`
apis.fetchAPICall = jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve('test'));
describe('spyOn', () => {
let didMountSpy; // Reusing the spy, and clear it with mockClear()
afterEach(() => {
didMountSpy.mockClear();
});
didMountSpy = jest.spyOn(Component.prototype, 'componentDidMount');
test('should not fetch ', () => {
// Ensure the componentDidMount haven't called yet.
expect(didMountSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(0);
const TFCRender = mount(<Component fetch />);
expect(didMountSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(apis.fetchAPICall).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(0);
});
test('should fetch', () => {
expect(didMountSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(0);
const TFCRender = mount(<Component fetch={false} />);
expect(didMountSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(apis.fetchAPICall).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});
});
Not sure if this is the best practice, but this is how I usually write my own tests.
Hope this help!
I have the following component script (some irrelevant bits removed):
import api from '#/lib/api';
export default {
methods: {
upload (formData) {
api.uploadFile(formData).then(response => {
this.$emit('input', response.data);
});
}
}
};
And I have the following test, which uses avoriaz to mount the Vue instance:
import { mount } from 'avoriaz';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import UploadForm from '#/components/UploadForm';
describe('upload', () => {
it('passes form data to api.uploadFile', () => {
const testFormData = { test: 'test' };
const api = {
uploadFile: sinon.spy()
};
const wrapper = mount(UploadForm);
wrapper.vm.api = api;
wrapper.vm.upload(testFormData);
expect(api.uploadFile.called).to.equal(true);
});
});
My sinon spy is never called, and I've tried a couple different variations on the above. What is the best way to spy on an imported function like this? Or am I conceptually approaching this the wrong way?
Problem
You need to stub the api dependency, which is a dependency of the file. This can't be done through the vue instance, since api is not a part of the vue component.
You need to stub the file dependency.
Solution
One method to do this is to use inject-loader.
Steps
Install inject-loader
npm install --save-dev inject-loader
At the top of your file, import UploadForm with inject-loader and vue-loader:
import UploadFormFactory from '!!vue-loader?inject!#/components/UploadForm';
This is a factory function that returns UploadForm with dependencies stubbed.
Now, in your test you need to call UploadFormFactory with the dependency you want stubbed:
const api = {
uploadFile: sinon.spy()
};
const UploadForm = UploadFormFactory({
'#/lib/api': api
})
So your test file will look like:
import { mount } from 'avoriaz';
import { expect } from 'chai';
import sinon from 'sinon';
import UploadFormFactory from '!!vue-loader?inject!#/components/UploadForm';
describe('upload', () => {
it('passes form data to api.uploadFile', () => {
const api = {
uploadFile: sinon.spy()
};
const UploadForm = UploadFormFactory({
'#/lib/api': api
})
const testFormData = { test: 'test' };
const api = {
uploadFile: sinon.spy()
};
const wrapper = mount(UploadForm);
wrapper.vm.upload(testFormData);
expect(api.uploadFile.called).to.equal(true);
});
});
More info
I've written a tutorial with more detail here - https://www.coding123.org/stub-dependencies-vue-unit-tests/
I think Edd's answer is the most encompassing for most scenarios, so I'm marking his as the accepted answer. However, the workaround I came up with was to make the api library a global service (Vue.prototype.$api = api) in my main.js file, and then overwrite the global with a stub before each test.
describe('UploadForm.vue', () => {
let wrapper;
const uploadFile = sinon.stub().returns(Promise.resolve({ data: 0 }));
beforeEach(() => {
wrapper = mount(UploadForm, {
globals: {
$api: { uploadFile }
}
});
});

I have a file that relies on an exported const variable. This variable is set to true but if ever needed can be set to false manually to prevent some behavior if downstream services request it.
I am not sure how to mock a const variable in Jest so that I can change it's value for testing the true and false conditions.
Example:
//constants module
export const ENABLED = true;
//allowThrough module
import { ENABLED } from './constants';
export function allowThrough(data) {
return (data && ENABLED === true)
}
// jest test
import { allowThrough } from './allowThrough';
import { ENABLED } from './constants';
describe('allowThrough', () => {
test('success', () => {
expect(ENABLED).toBE(true);
expect(allowThrough({value: 1})).toBe(true);
});
test('fail, ENABLED === false', () => {
//how do I override the value of ENABLED here?
expect(ENABLED).toBe(false) // won't work because enabled is a const
expect(allowThrough({value: 1})).toBe(true); //fails because ENABLED is still true
});
});
This example will work if you compile ES6 modules syntax into ES5, because in the end, all module exports belong to the same object, which can be modified.
import { allowThrough } from './allowThrough';
import { ENABLED } from './constants';
import * as constants from './constants';
describe('allowThrough', () => {
test('success', () => {
constants.ENABLED = true;
expect(ENABLED).toBe(true);
expect(allowThrough({ value: 1 })).toBe(true);
});
test('fail, ENABLED === false', () => {
constants.ENABLED = false;
expect(ENABLED).toBe(false);
expect(allowThrough({ value: 1 })).toBe(false);
});
});
Alternatively, you can switch to raw commonjs require function, and do it like this with the help of jest.mock(...):
const mockTrue = { ENABLED: true };
const mockFalse = { ENABLED: false };
describe('allowThrough', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
jest.resetModules();
});
test('success', () => {
jest.mock('./constants', () => mockTrue)
const { ENABLED } = require('./constants');
const { allowThrough } = require('./allowThrough');
expect(ENABLED).toBe(true);
expect(allowThrough({ value: 1 })).toBe(true);
});
test('fail, ENABLED === false', () => {
jest.mock('./constants', () => mockFalse)
const { ENABLED } = require('./constants');
const { allowThrough } = require('./allowThrough');
expect(ENABLED).toBe(false);
expect(allowThrough({ value: 1 })).toBe(false);
});
});
Unfortunately none of the posted solutions worked for me or to be more precise some did work but threw linting, TypeScript or compilation errors, so I will post my solution that both works for me and is compliant with current coding standards:
// constants.ts
// configuration file with defined constant(s)
export const someConstantValue = true;
// module.ts
// this module uses the defined constants
import { someConstantValue } from './constants';
export const someCheck = () => someConstantValue ? 'true' : 'false';
// module.test.ts
// this is the test file for module.ts
import { someCheck } from './module';
// Jest specifies that the variable must start with `mock`
const mockSomeConstantValueGetter = jest.fn();
jest.mock('./constants', () => ({
get someConstantValue() {
return mockSomeConstantValueGetter();
},
}));
describe('someCheck', () => {
it('returns "true" if someConstantValue is true', () => {
mockSomeConstantValueGetter.mockReturnValue(true);
expect(someCheck()).toEqual('true');
});
it('returns "false" if someConstantValue is false', () => {
mockSomeConstantValueGetter.mockReturnValue(false);
expect(someCheck()).toEqual('false');
});
});
There is another way to do it in ES6+ and jest 22.1.0+ thanks to getters and spyOn.
By default, you cannot spy on primitive types like boolean or number. You can though replace an imported file with your own mock. A getter method still acts like a primitive member but allows us to spy on it. Having a spy on our target member you can basically do with it whatever you want, just like with a jest.fn() mock.
Below an example
// foo.js
export const foo = true; // could be expression as well
// subject.js
import { foo } from './foo'
export default () => foo
// subject.spec.js
import subject from './subject'
jest.mock('./foo', () => ({
get foo () {
return true // set some default value
}
}))
describe('subject', () => {
const mySpy = jest.spyOn(subject.default, 'foo', 'get')
it('foo returns true', () => {
expect(subject.foo).toBe(true)
})
it('foo returns false', () => {
mySpy.mockReturnValueOnce(false)
expect(subject.foo).toBe(false)
})
})

Thanks to #Luke I was able to expand on his answer for my needs. I had the requirements of:
Only mocking certain values in the file - not all
Running the mock only inside a single test.
Turns out that doMock() is like mock() but doesn't get hoisted. In addition requireActual() can be used to grab original data.
My config.js file - I need to mock only part of it
export const SOMETHING = 'blah'
export const OTHER = 'meh'
My test file
// import { someFunc } from 'some/file' // This won't work with doMock - see below
describe('My test', () => {
test('someFunc() does stuff', async () => {
// Here I mock the config file which gets imported somewhere deep in my code
jest.doMock('config.js', () => {
// Grab original
const originalModule = jest.requireActual('config')
// Return original but override some values
return {
__esModule: true, // Depends on your setup
...originalModule,
SOMETHING: 'boom!'
}
})
// Because `doMock` doesn't get hoisted we need to import the function after
const { someFunc } = await import(
'some/file'
)
// Now someFunc will use the original config values but overridden with SOMETHING=boom!
const res = await someFunc()
})
})
Depending on other tests you may also need to use resetModules() somewhere such as beforeAll or afterAll.
Docs:
doMock
requireActual
resetModules
Since we can't override/mock the value directly. we can use the below hack
// foo.js
export const foo = true; // could be expression as well
// spec file
import * as constants from './foo'
Object.defineProperty(constant, 'foo', {value: 1})
For functions:
Object.defineProperty(store, 'doOneThing', {value: jest.fn()})
For me the simplest solution was to redefine the imported object property, as decribed here:
https://flutterq.com/how-to-mock-an-exported-const-in-jest/
// foo.js
export const foo = true; // could be expression as well
// spec file
import * as constants from './foo'
Object.defineProperty(constant, 'foo', {value: 1, writable: true})
Facing the same issue, I found this blog post very useful, and much simpler than #cyberwombat use case :
https://remarkablemark.org/blog/2018/06/28/jest-mock-default-named-export/
// esModule.js
export default 'defaultExport';
export const namedExport = () => {};
// esModule.test.js
jest.mock('./esModule', () => ({
__esModule: true, // this property makes it work
default: 'mockedDefaultExport',
namedExport: jest.fn(),
}));
import defaultExport, { namedExport } from './esModule';
defaultExport; // 'mockedDefaultExport'
namedExport; // mock function
The most common scenario I needed was to mock a constant used by a class (in my case, a React component but it could be any ES6 class really).
#Luke's answer worked great for this, it just took a minute to wrap my head around it so I thought I'd rephrase it into a more explicit example.
The key is that your constants need to be in a separate file that you import, so that this import itself can be stubbed/mocked by jest.
The following worked perfectly for me.
First, define your constants:
// src/my-component/constants.js
const MY_CONSTANT = 100;
export { MY_CONSTANT };
Next, we have the class that actually uses the constants:
// src/my-component/index.jsx
import { MY_CONSTANT } from './constants';
// This could be any class (e.g. a React component)
class MyComponent {
constructor() {
// Use the constant inside this class
this.secret = MY_CONSTANT;
console.log(`Current value is ${this.secret}`);
}
}
export default MyComponent
Lastly, we have the tests. There's 2 use cases we want to handle here:
Mock the generate value of MY_CONSTANT for all tests inside this file
Allow the ability for a specific test to further override the value of MY_CONSTANT for that single test
The first part is acheived by using jest.mock at the top of your test file.
The second is acheived by using jest.spyOn to further spy on the exported list of constants. It's almost like a mock on top of a mock.
// test/components/my-component/index.js
import MyComponent from 'src/my-component';
import allConstants from 'src/my-component/constants';
jest.mock('src/my-component/constants', () => ({
get MY_CONSTANT () {
return 30;
}
}));
it('mocks the value of MY_CONSTANT', () => {
// Initialize the component, or in the case of React, render the component
new MyComponent();
// The above should cause the `console.log` line to print out the
// new mocked value of 30
});
it('mocks the value of MY_CONSTANT for this test,', () => {
// Set up the spy. You can then use any jest mocking method
// (e.g. `mockReturnValue()`) on it
const mySpy = jest.spyOn(allConstants, 'MY_CONSTANT', 'get')
mySpy.mockReturnValue(15);
new MyComponent();
// The above should cause the `console.log` line to print out the
// new mocked value of 15
});
One of the way for mock variables is the follow solution:
For example exists file ./constants.js with constants:
export const CONSTATN_1 = 'value 1';
export const CONSTATN_2 = 'value 2';
There is also a file of tests ./file-with-tests.spec.js in which you need to do mock variables.
If you need to mock several variables you need to use jest.requireActual to use the real values of the remaining variables.
jest.mock('./constants', () => ({
...jest.requireActual('./constants'),
CONSTATN_1: 'mock value 1',
}));
If you need to mock all variables using jest.requireActual is optional.
jest.mock('./constants', () => ({
CONSTATN_1: 'mock value 1',
CONSTATN_2: 'mock value 2'
}));
Instead of Jest and having trouble with hoisting etc. you can also just redefine your property using "Object.defineProperty"
It can easily be redefined for each test case.
This is a pseudo code example based on some files I have:
From localization file:
export const locale = 'en-US';
In another file we are using the locale:
import { locale } from 'src/common/localization';
import { format } from 'someDateLibrary';
// 'MMM' will be formatted based on locale
const dateFormat = 'dd-MMM-yyyy';
export const formatDate = (date: Number) => format(date, dateFormat, locale)
How to mock in a test file
import * as Localization from 'src/common/localization';
import { formatDate } from 'src/utils/dateUtils';
describe('format date', () => {
test('should be in Danish format', () => {
Object.defineProperty(Localization, 'locale', {
value: 'da-DK'
});
expect(formatDate(1589500800000)).toEqual('15-maj-2020');
});
test('should be in US format', () => {
Object.defineProperty(Localization, 'locale', {
value: 'en-US'
});
expect(formatDate(1589500800000)).toEqual('15-May-2020');
});
});
in typescript, you can not overwrite constant value but; you can overwrite the getter function for it.
const mockNEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_HCAPTCHAGetter = jest.fn();
jest.mock('lib/constants', () => ({
...jest.requireActual('lib/constants'),
get NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_HCAPTCHA() {
return mockNEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_HCAPTCHAGetter();
},
}));
and in the test use as
beforeEach(() => {
mockNEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_HCAPTCHAGetter.mockReturnValue('true');
});
Thank you all for the answers.
In my case this was a lot simpler than all the suggestions here
// foo.ts
export const foo = { bar: "baz" };
// use-foo.ts
// this is just here for the example to have a function that consumes foo
import { foo } from "./foo";
export const getFoo = () => foo;
// foo.spec.ts
import "jest";
import { foo } from "./foo";
import { getFoo } from "./use-foo";
test("foo.bar should be 'other value'", () => {
const mockedFoo = foo as jest.Mocked<foo>;
mockedFoo.bar = "other value";
const { bar } = getFoo();
expect(bar).toBe("other value"); // success
expect(bar).toBe("baz"); // fail
};
Hope this helps someone.
../../../common/constant/file (constants file path)
export const Init = {
name: "",
basePath: "",
description: "",
thumbnail: "",
createdAt: "",
endDate: "",
earnings: 0,
isRecurring: false,
status: 0,
};
jest file
jest.mock('../../../common/constant/file',()=>({
get Init(){
return {isRecurring: true}
}
}))
it('showActionbutton testing',()=>{
const {result} = renderHook(() => useUnsubscribe())
expect(result.current.showActionButton).toBe(true)
})
index file
import {Init} from ../../../common/constant/file
const useUsubscribe(){
const showActionButton = Init.isRecurring
return showActionButton
}
I solved this by initializing constants from ContstantsFile.js in reducers. And placed it in redux store. As jest.mock was not able to mock the contstantsFile.js
constantsFile.js
-----------------
const MY_CONSTANTS = {
MY_CONSTANT1: "TEST",
MY_CONSTANT2: "BEST",
};
export defualt MY_CONSTANTS;
reducers/index.js
-----------------
import MY_CONST from "./constantsFile";
const initialState = {
...MY_CONST
}
export const AbcReducer = (state = initialState, action) => {.....}
ABC.jsx
------------
import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';
const ABC = () => {
const const1 = useSelector(state) => state. AbcReducer. MY_CONSTANT1:
const const2 = useSelector(state) => state. AbcReducer. MY_CONSTANT2:
.......
Now we can easily mock the store in test.jsx and provide the values to constant that we want.
Abc.text.jsx
-------------
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import configureMockStore from 'redux-mock-store';
describe('Abc mock constants in jest', () => {
const mockStore = configureMockStore([thunk]);
let store = mockStore({
AbcReducer: {
MY_CONSTANT1 ="MOCKTEST",
MY_CONSTANT2 = "MOCKBEST",
}
});
test('your test here', () => { .....
Now when the test runs it will always pick the constant value form mock store.
Hey I have been working in the configuration of karma + jasmine + enzyme to start working in the unit tests of my project, then at exec my first test I got this error
TypeError: undefined is not a constructor (evaluating '(0, _jasmine.expect)(addLoan.length)') in src/app/modules/Login/LoginComponent.spec.js (line 80581)
src/app/modules/Login/LoginComponent.spec.js:80581:29
loaded#http://localhost:9876/context.js:151:17
then here is my test code:
import React from 'react';
import { expect } from 'jasmine';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import ServicerComponent from './LoginComponent';
function setup() {
const props = {
error: {},
onClick: () => {},
emailOnChange: () => {},
passwordOnChange: () => {},
};
return shallow(<ServicerComponent{...props} />);
}
describe('<ServicerComponent />', () => {
const displayNames = {
login: 'login',
};
let wrapper;
beforeEach(() => {
wrapper = setup();
});
it('should have a Login button', () => {
const addLoan = wrapper.find({ name: displayNames.login });
expect(addLoan.length).toBe(1);
});
});
also I am using :
jasmine: 2.5.3
enzyme: 2.7.1
You need to create setup instance of the class
beforeEach(() => {
wrapper = new setup();
});
I already found the answer of the question, I just remove the jasmine importer and add a global variable in the .eslintrc.json named expect equal true
