I'm fairly new to testing with Enzyme/Jest on a React application, so perhaps there's something wrong with the way I'm setting up my test.
I specifically want to test a single function in my component: reviewCandidate()
reviewCandidate() {
const { candidate_id: candidateId, } = this.props.match.params;
const { latest_application_id: latestApplication, } = this.state.candidateInfo;
const { expressApi, } = this.props;
/** @todo Define user when authentication is in place */
const user = 'undefined';
expressApi.addReviewedCandidate(
parseInt(candidateId, 10),
latestApplication,
user,
// comment,
).then(() => {
// If the API call is successful, have the state reflect this accordingly
this.setState({
reviewInfo: {
candidate_id: candidateId,
last_application_reviewed: latestApplication,
user,
// comment: comment
},
});
// Pop-up a snackbar indicating a successful review
this.props.setSnackbar({
open: true,
message: <span>Candidate_{candidateId} marked as reviewed</span>,
});
});
}
It works without any warnings when using the web application. The issue arises when I try to test it using Jest/Enzyme.
Here is the test I have written for the above function:
describe('Reviewing Candidates', () => {
const mockCandidateReviewStatus = [];
const mockApplicationsOfCandidate = {/* mock data */};
const mockExpressApi = {
applicationsOfCandidate() {
return new Promise(resolve => resolve(mockApplicationsOfCandidate));
},
candidateReviewStatus() {
return new Promise(resolve => resolve(mockCandidateReviewStatus));
},
addReviewedCandidate() {
return new Promise(resolve => resolve());
},
};
const handleError = error => error;
it('ensures reviewedCandidates() is called correctly', async() => {
const setSnackbar = jest.fn(() => 'foobar');
const wrapper = shallow(
<Candidate
expressApi={mockExpressApi}
handleError={handleError}
match={{
params: {
candidate_id: 153,
},
}}
utils={utils}
setSnackbar={setSnackbar}
/>
);
/**
* These wrapper.update() calls ensure componentDidMount() finish setting
* the state of the component
*
* Unsure if this is the best way to deal with waiting for
* componentDidMount() to finish
*/
await wrapper.update();
await wrapper.update();
await wrapper.instance().reviewCandidate();
/**
* @todo: Check this.state.reviewInfo is set as expected
*/
expect(setSnackbar).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
But the await wrapper.instance().reviewCandidate()
call crashes Enzyme.
Error: Method “setState” is only meant to be run on a single node. 3 found instead.

If I comment out the this.setState
call in the .then()
after the API call:
reviewCandidate() {
// ...
expressApi.addReviewedCandidate(
// ...
).then(() => {
// If the API call is successful, have the state reflect this accordingly
/*
this.setState({
reviewInfo: {
candidate_id: candidateId,
last_application_reviewed: latestApplication,
user,
// comment: comment
},
});
*/
// Pop-up a snackbar indicating a successful review
this.props.setSnackbar({
open: true,
message: <span>Candidate_{candidateId} marked as reviewed</span>,
});
});
}
Then the test works without any issues:

In-case it is relevant, here is the componentDidMount()
function in the same component that calls the Mock API calls in the test:
componentDidMount() {
const candidateId = this.props.match.params.candidate_id;
Promise.all([
this.props.expressApi.applicationsOfCandidate(candidateId),
this.props.expressApi.candidateReviewStatus(candidateId),
]).then((data) => {
const candidateInfo = data[0][this.props.match.params.candidate_id];
const reviewInfo = data[1][0];
this.setState({ /* Sets various state parameters based on what was returned from the API calls*/ });
}).catch((err) => {
this.props.handleError(err);
this.setState({
error: err,
});
});
}
What am I doing that is causing the Error: Method “setState” is only meant to be run on a single node. 3 found instead.
?
Please let me know if I need to provide more information about the component itself.
Thanks in advance for any help.
