Simulate a button click in Jest

问题:

Simulating a button click seems like a very easy/standard operation. Yet, I can't get it to work in Jest.js tests.

This is what I tried (and also doing it using jquery), but it didn't seem to trigger anything:

import { mount } from 'enzyme';

page = <MyCoolPage />;
pageMounted = mount(page);

const button = pageMounted.find('#some_button');
expect(button.length).toBe(1); // it finds it alright
button.simulate('click'); // nothing happens

#1 Using Jest

This is how I use the jest mock callback function to test the click event

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import Button from './Button';

describe('Test Button component', () => {
  it('Test click event', () => {
    const mockCallBack = jest.fn();

    const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));
    button.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(mockCallBack.mock.calls.length).toEqual(1);
  });
});

I am also using a module called enzyme Enzyme is a testing utility that makes it easier to assert and select your React Components

#2 Using Sinon

Also you can use another module called sinon which is a standalone test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript. This is how does it look

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import sinon from 'sinon';

import Button from './Button';

describe('Test Button component', () => {
  it('simulates click events', () => {
    const mockCallBack = sinon.spy();
    const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));

    button.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(mockCallBack).toHaveProperty('callCount', 1);
  });
});

#3 Using Your own Spy

Finally you can make your own naive spy

function MySpy() {
  this.calls = 0;
}
MySpy.prototype.fn = function () {
  return () => this.calls++;
}

it('Test Button component', () => {
  const mySpy = new MySpy();
  const mockCallBack = mySpy.fn();

  const button = shallow((<Button onClick={mockCallBack}>Ok!</Button>));

  button.find('button').simulate('click');
  expect(mySpy.calls).toEqual(1);
});

Using jest you can do it like this:

test('should call start logout on button click', () => {
    const mockLogout = jest.fn();
    const wrapper = shallow(<Component startLogout={mockLogout}/>);
    wrapper.find('button').at(0).simulate('click');
    expect(mockLogout).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

You may use something like this to call the handler written on click:

import { shallow } from 'enzyme'; // mount is not required

page = <MyCoolPage />;
pageMounted = shallow(page);
// below line will execute your click function
pageMounted.instance().yourOnClickFunction();
