Un exemplu asincron

În primul rând, activează suportul Babel în Jest după documentația din ghidul Noţiuni de bază.

Let's implement a module that fetches user data from an API and returns the user name.

user.js

import request from './request';

export function getUserName(userID) {
  return request(`/users/${userID}`).then(user => user.name);
}

In the above implementation, we expect the request.js module to return a promise. We chain a call to then to receive the user name.

Now imagine an implementation of request.js that goes to the network and fetches some user data:

request.js

const http = require('http');

export default function request(url) {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    // This is an example of an http request, for example to fetch
    // user data from an API.
    // This module is being mocked in __mocks__/request.js
    http.get({path: url}, response => {
      let data = '';
      response.on('data', _data => (data += _data));
      response.on('end', () => resolve(data));
    });
  });
}

Because we don't want to go to the network in our test, we are going to create a manual mock for our request.js module in the __mocks__ folder (the folder is case-sensitive, __MOCKS__ will not work). Acesta ar putea arăta în felul următor:

__mocks__/request.js

const users = {
  4: {name: 'Mark'},
  5: {name: 'Paul'},
};

export default function request(url) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const userID = parseInt(url.slice('/users/'.length), 10);
    process.nextTick(() =>
      users[userID]
        ? resolve(users[userID])
        : reject({
            error: `User with ${userID} not found.`,
          }),
    );
  });
}

Acum haideți sa scriem un test pentru funcţionalitatea noastră asincronă.

__tests__/user-test.js

jest.mock('../request');

import * as user from '../user';

// The assertion for a promise must be returned.
it('works with promises', () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  return user.getUserName(4).then(data => expect(data).toBe('Mark'));
});

Apelăm jest.mock('.. /request') să-i spunem lui Jest să folosească mock-ul nostru creat manual. Se aşteaptă ca valoarea returnată să fie o promisiune care urmează să fie rezolvată. You can chain as many Promises as you like and call expect at any time, as long as you return a Promise at the end.

.resolves

There is a less verbose way using resolves to unwrap the value of a fulfilled promise together with any other matcher. If the promise is rejected, the assertion will fail.

it('works with resolves', () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  return expect(user.getUserName(5)).resolves.toBe('Paul');
});

async/await

Writing tests using the async/await syntax is also possible. Here is how you'd write the same examples from before:

// async/await can be used.
it('works with async/await', async () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  const data = await user.getUserName(4);
  expect(data).toBe('Mark');
});

// async/await can also be used with `.resolves`.
it('works with async/await and resolves', async () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  await expect(user.getUserName(5)).resolves.toBe('Paul');
});

To enable async/await in your project, install @babel/preset-env and enable the feature in your babel.config.js file.

Tratarea erorilor

Erorile pot fi tratate prin metoda .catch. Asiguraţi-vă că utilizați expect.assertions pentru a verifica că un anumit număr de aserțiuni sunt executate. Altfel o promisiune rezolvată nu ar eşua testul:

// Testing for async errors using Promise.catch.
it('tests error with promises', () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  return user.getUserName(2).catch(error =>
    expect(error).toEqual({
      error: 'User with 2 not found.',
    }),
  );
});

// Or using async/await.
it('tests error with async/await', async () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  try {
    await user.getUserName(1);
  } catch (error) {
    expect(error).toEqual({
      error: 'User with 1 not found.',
    });
  }
});

.rejects

The.rejects helper works like the .resolves helper. În cazul în care promisiunea este îndeplinită, testul va eşua automat. expect.assertions(number) is not required but recommended to verify that a certain number of assertions are called during a test. It is otherwise easy to forget to return/await the .resolves assertions.

// Testing for async errors using `.rejects`.
it('tests error with rejects', () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  return expect(user.getUserName(3)).rejects.toEqual({
    error: 'User with 3 not found.',
  });
});

// Or using async/await with `.rejects`.
it('tests error with async/await and rejects', async () => {
  expect.assertions(1);
  await expect(user.getUserName(3)).rejects.toEqual({
    error: 'User with 3 not found.',
  });
});

The code for this example is available at examples/async.
