Hy, I don't know how to mock an inline function in React component's child
My stack: sinon, chai, enzyme;
Component usage:
<ListItem onClick={() => someFn()} />
Component's render:
render() {
return (
<li>
<a href="#" onClick={e => {
e.preventDefault();
this.props.onClick();
}}
> whatever </a>
</li>
);
}
Here we have onClick function that calls e.preventDefault(). How to tell to <a href>(link) to not to call e.preventDefault()? How can I mock an onClick?
Below is what I have tried in tests:
Shallow copy setup
function setup() {
const someFn = sinon.stub();
const component = shallow(
<ListItem
onClick={() => {
someFn();
}}
/>
);
return {
component: component,
actions: someFn,
link: component.find('a'),
listItem: component.find('li'),
}
}
And the test
it('simulates click events', () => {
const { link, actions } = setup();
link.simulate('click'); //Click on <a href>
expect(actions).to.have.property('callCount', 1); //will be fine if we remove e.preventDefault()
});
Test's output error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'preventDefault' of undefined
Try this
link.simulate('click', {
preventDefault: () => {
}
});
test('simulates click events', () => {
const e = { stopPropagation: jest.fn() };
const component = shallow(<ListItem{...props} />);
const li = component.find('li').at(0).childAt(0)
li.props().onClick(e)
expect();
});
For those using Jest and @testing-library or react-testing-librarys fireEvent, you need to provide an initialised event object, otherwise the event can't be dispatched via your element.
One can then assert on e.preventDefault being called by assigning a property to that initialised event:
test('prevents default on click', () => {
const {getByText} = render(<MyComponent />);
const button = getByText(/click me/);
// initialise an event, and assign your own preventDefault
const clickEvent = new MouseEvent('click');
Object.assign(clickEvent, {preventDefault: jest.fn()});
fireEvent(button, clickEvent);
expect(clickEvent.preventDefault).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
});
Similarly for stopPropagation.
Anton Karpenko's answer for Jest was useful.
