I've a jest test that is failing on addition of a new component to the page. The test is about showing of an error alert once error occurs. Code works in local environment but fails during commit.
Error Text:
TestingLibraryElementError: Unable to find an element with the text: Student is unable to perform register/unregister activities.. This could be because the text is broken up by multiple elements. In this case, you can provide a function for your text matcher to make your matcher more flexible.
Test:
jest.mock('react-query', () => ({
...jest.requireActual('react-query'),
useMutation: jest.fn((_key, cb) => {
cb();
return { data: null };
})
}));
const useMutation = useMutationHook as ReturnType<typeof jest.fn>;
describe('StatusAlert', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
useMutation.mockReturnValue({});
});
afterEach(() => {
jest.restoreAllMocks();
});
it('should show error', () => {
useMutation.mockReturnValueOnce({
isError: true
});
const { getByText } = render(
<StudentRegister
students={[studentStub, studentStub]}
onSuccess={jest.fn()}
/>
);
expect(getByText(ErrorDict.ErrorRequest)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
StudentRegister:
Adding this component is causing the above mentioned error:
interface Props {
selectedStudents: Array<Student>;
onSuccessCallback: () => void;
}
export const StudentSelectionBar: FC<Props> = ({
selectedStudents,
onSuccessCallback
}) => {
const [isOpenDropCourseModal, setisOpenDropCourseModal] =
useState(false);
const [studentIds, setStudentIds] = useState<string[]>([]);
useEffect(() => {
setStudentIds(selectedStudents.map((student) =>
student.id));
}, [selectedStudents]);
const onToggleOpenDropCourseModal = useCallback(() => {
setisOpenDropCourseModal(
(state) => !state
);
}, []);
const {
isError: isDropCourseError,
isSuccess: isDropCourseSuccess,
isLoading: isDropCourseLoading,
mutateAsync: DropCourseMutation,
error: DropCourseError
} = useMutation<void, ApiError>(
() => dropCourse(selectedStudents.map((student) =>
student.id)),
{
onSuccess() {
onToggleOpenDropCourseModal();
onSuccess();
}
}
);
return (
<>
<StatusAlert
isError={isDropCourseError}
isSuccess={isDropCourseSuccess}
errorMessage={
dropCourseError?.errorMessage ||
ErrorMessages.FailedPostRequest
}
successMessage="Students successfully dropped from
course"
/>
<StatusAlert
isError={registerMutation.isError}
isSuccess={registerMutation.isSuccess}
errorMessage={
registerMutation.error?.errorMessage ||
ErrorDict.ErrorRequest
}
successMessage="Students successfully registered"
/>
<StatusAlert
isError={isError}
isSuccess={isSuccess}
errorMessage={
error?.errorMessage ||
ErrorDict.ErrorRequest
}
successMessage="Students successfully unregistered"
/>
<Permissions scope={[DropCourseUsers]}>
<LoadingButton
color="error"
variant="contained"
onClick={onToggleDropCourseUserModal}
className={styles['action-button']}
loading={isDropCourseLoading}
loadingPosition="center"
disabled={registerMutation.isLoading || isLoading}
>
drop Course
</LoadingButton>
</Permissions>
<DropCourseModal
isOpen={isOpenDropCourseModal}
onCloseModal={onToggleOpenDropCourseModal}
onArchiveUsers={DropCourseMutation}
users={studentIds}
/>
</>
);
};
Update:
I've noticed that removing useEffect()
hook from the component, makes it render correctly in the test. Its function is to update the state variable holding studentIds on every selection on the list.
Is there a way to mock following useEffect
hook with dependency in the test?
const [studentIds, setStudentIds] = useState<string[]>([]);
useEffect(() => {
setStudentIds(selectedStudents.map((student) => student.id));
}, [selectedStudents]);
