Test a component with useState and setTimeout - reactjs

Question

Code structure is as same as given below:
FunctionComponent.js
...
const [open, handler] = useState(false);
setTimeout(() => {handler(true);}, 2000);
...
return (
...
<div className={active ? 'open' : 'close'}>
)
comp.test.js
jest.useFakeTimers();
test('test case 1', () => {
expect(wrapper.find('open').length).toBe(0);
jest.advanceTimersByTime(2000);
expect(wrapper.find('open').length).toBe(1);
jest.useRealTimers();
});
The problem is that the expression written in bold in test is saying the length of open class is still 0, so actual and expected are not meeting.

Answer 1

You want to test the outcome of the hook and not the hook itself since that would be like testing React. You effectively want a test where you check for if the open class exists and then doesn't exist (or vice versa), which it looks like you're trying.
In short, to solve your issue you need to use ".open" when selecting the class. I would also suggest using the .exists() check on the class instead of ".length()" and then you can use ".toBeTruthy()" as well.
You could look into improve writing your tests in a Jest/Enzyme combined format as well:
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import { FunctionComponent } from './FunctionComponent.jsx';
jest.useFakeTimers();
describe('<FunctionCompnent />', () => {
const mockProps = { prop1: mockProp1, prop2: mockProp2, funcProp3: jest.fn() };
const wrapper = shallow(<FunctionComponent {...mockProps} />);
afterEach(() => {
jest.advanceTimersByTime(2000);
});
afterAll(() => {
jest.useRealTimers();
});
it('should render as closed initially', () => {
expect(wrapper.find('.close').exists()).toBeTruthy();
// you could also add the check for falsy of open if you wanted
// expect(wrapper.find('.open').exists()).toBeFalsy();
});
it('should change to open after 2 seconds (or more)', () => {
expect(wrapper.find('.open').exists()).toBeTruthy();
// you could also add the check for falsy of close if you wanted
// expect(wrapper.find('.close').exists()).toBeFalsy();
});
});
EDIT: Sorry realised I wrote the test backwards after checking your code again, they should be fixed now.
