Jest/Enzyme Shallow testing RFC - not firing jest.fn() - reactjs

Question

I'm trying to test the onChange prop (and the value) of an input on an RFC. On the tests, trying to simulate the event doesn't fire the jest mock function.
The actual component is connected (with redux) but I'm exporting it also as an unconnected component so I can do a shallow unit test. I'm also using some react-spring hooks for animation.
I've also tried to mount instead of shallow the component but I still get the same problem.
MY Component
export const UnconnectedSearchInput: React.FC<INT.IInputProps> = ({ scrolled, getUserInputRequest }): JSX.Element => {
const [change, setChange] = useState<string>('')
const handleChange = (e: InputVal): void => {
setChange(e.target.value)
}
const handleKeyUp = (): void => {
getUserInputRequest(change)
}
return (
<animated.div
className="search-input"
data-test="component-search-input"
style={animateInputContainer}>
<animated.input
type="text"
name="search"
className="search-input__inp"
data-test="search-input"
style={animateInput}
onChange={handleChange}
onKeyUp={handleKeyUp}
value={change}
/>
</animated.div>
)
}
export default connect(null, { getUserInputRequest })(UnconnectedSearchInput);
My Tests
Here you can see the test that is failing. Commented out code is other things that I-ve tried so far without any luck.
describe('test input and dispatch action', () => {
let changeValueMock
let wrapper
const userInput = 'matrix'
beforeEach(() => {
changeValueMock = jest.fn()
const props = {
handleChange: changeValueMock
}
wrapper = shallow(<UnconnectedSearchInput {...props} />).dive()
// wrapper = mount(<UnconnectedSearchInput {...props} />)
})
test('should update input value', () => {
const input = findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive()
// const component = findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').last()
expect(input.name()).toBe('input')
expect(changeValueMock).not.toHaveBeenCalled()
input.props().onChange({ target: { value: userInput } }) // not geting called
// input.simulate('change', { target: { value: userInput } })
// used with mount
// act(() => {
// input.props().onChange({ target: { value: userInput } })
// })
// wrapper.update()
expect(changeValueMock).toBeCalledTimes(1)
// expect(input.prop('value')).toBe(userInput);
})
})
Test Error
Nothing too special here.
expect(jest.fn()).toBeCalledTimes(1)
Expected mock function to have been called one time, but it was called zero times.
71 | // wrapper.update()
72 |
> 73 | expect(changeValueMock).toBeCalledTimes(1)
Any help would be greatly appreciated since it's been 2 days now and I cn't figure this out.

Answer 1

you don't have to interact with component internals; instead better use public interface: props and render result
test('should update input value', () => {
expect(findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive().props().value).toEqual('');
findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive().props().onChange({ target: {value: '_test_'} });
expect(findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive().props().value).toEqual('_test_');
}
See you don't need to check if some internal method has been called, what's its name or argument. If you get what you need - and you require to have <input> with some expected value - it does not matter how it happened.
But if function is passed from the outside(through props) you will definitely want to verify if it's called at some expected case
test('should call getUserInputRequest prop on keyUp event', () => {
const getUserInputRequest = jest.fn();
const mockedEvent = { target: { key: 'A' } };
const = wrapper = shallow(<UnconnectedSearchInput getUserInputRequest={getUserInputRequest } />).dive()
findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive().props().onKeyUp(mockedEvent)
expect(getUserInputRequest).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
expect(getUserInputRequest).toHaveBeenCalledWith(mockedEvent);
}
[UPD] seems like caching selector in interm variable like
const input = findByTestAttr(wrapper, 'search-input').dive();
input.props().onChange({ target: {value: '_test_'} });
expect(input.props().value).toEqual('_test_');
does not pass since input refers to stale old object where value does not update.
At enzyme's github I've been answered that it's expected behavior:
This is intended behavior in enzyme v3 - see https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme/blob/master/docs/guides/migration-from-2-to-3.md#calling-props-after-a-state-change.
So yes, exactly - everything must be re-found from the root if anything has changed.
