Testing a trigger click on a button does not work in Vue using Jest. When I try to find the button in the wrapper the test passes, but when I try a trigger click on the same button so a method will be called it does not work.
Here is the vue file snapshot of the button:
<v-btn @click="viewAppointment(appointment)" class="ma-2" dark small color="orange" id="view-appointment" data-viewAppointmentBtn>
<v-icon left>mdi-eye</v-icon>
<span>View</span>
</v-btn>
Here is the js file that contains the simple method call::
viewAppointment(appointment) {
this.appointment = appointment;
this.viewAppointmentDialog = !this.viewAppointmentDialog;
},
Here is the .spec.js file for the test::
import './setup.js';
import CoachAppointmentsRequests from '../dashboard/coach/appointments/requests/overview/Overview.vue';
import {shallowMount, createLocalVue} from "@vue/test-utils";
import Vuex from "vuex";
const localVue = createLocalVue();
localVue.use(Vuex);
describe("CoachAppointmentsRequests", () => {
let wrapper;
let store;
let actions;
let state;
let getters;
const $route = {
path: 'appointment/requests/:application_id',
params: { application_id: 123 }
}
actions = {
GET_USER_APPOINTMENTS: jest.fn()
};
state = {
user_appointments: [ {id:1, date: 'May 20, 2020'} ],
all_user_appointments: [ {id:1, date: 'May 20, 2020'} ],
};
getters = {
user_appointments: state => state.user_appointments,
all_user_appointments: state => state.all_user_appointments
};
store = new Vuex.Store({
actions,
getters,
state,
});
const getUserAppointments = jest.fn(() => {
return new Promise(resolve => {
process.nextTick(() => {
resolve({
data: [
{ id:1, appointee_id:2}
]
})
})
})
});
beforeEach(() => {
wrapper = shallowMount(CoachAppointmentsRequests, {
propsData: {},
mocks: {
$route,
},
stubs: {},
methods: {
getUserAppointments,
},
store,
localVue,
});
});
it('click on the view appointment button calls the viewAppointment method', () => {
const viewAppointment = jest.fn();
wrapper.setMethods({ viewAppointment })
const viewAppBtn = wrapper.find('#view-appointment');
viewAppBtn.trigger('click');
expect(viewAppointment).toBeCalled();
});
});
Please I will appreciate your assistance with this issue.
expect(jest.fn()).toBeCalled() Expected number of calls: >= 1 Received number of calls: 0 70 | viewAppBtn.trigger('click'); 71 | await wrapper.vm.$nextTick(); > 72 | expect(viewAppointment).toBeCalled(); | ^ 73 | });
