I have a react component which has a method

export class Hit extends React.Component 
 constructor(props) 
 super(props);
 this.triggerClick= this.triggerClick.bind(this);
 

triggerClick(event) 
 this.props.triggerClick(event.target.click);


render() 
 return (
....................................
 <input ........ onChange=this.triggerClick />
.............................................
 );
 

I want to check if triggerClick(event) method is being called or not. Hence, I am pasting the code I have related to this. Though if you see in the logs of the hitComponent something like below,

onChange: [Function: bound triggerClick]

log of spy says it is not being called. Not sure where I am going wrong.

let mockFunction = sinon.fake();

let hitComponent = renderShallow(<Hit ........ triggerClick= mockFunction/>)

let spy = sinon.spy(Hit.prototype, 'triggerClick');

console.log(hitComponent)
console.log(spy)

o/p:
hitComponent:

[ '$$typeof': Symbol(react.element),
 type: 'input',
 key: null,
 ref: null,
 props:
 type: '.....',
 checked: true,
 onChange: [Function: bound triggerClick] ,
.....]

o/p:
spy:

 [Function: proxy]
 isSinonProxy: true,
 called: false,
 notCalled: true,
 calledOnce: false,
 calledTwice: false,
 calledThrice: false,
 callCount: 0,
 firstCall: null,
 secondCall: null,
 thirdCall: null,
 lastCall: null,

There is a helper class to use react-test-renderer

import ShallowRenderer from 'react-test-renderer/shallow';


function renderShallow(component) 
 const shallowRenderer = new ShallowRenderer();
 shallowRenderer.render(component);
 return shallowRenderer.getRenderOutput();;


export renderShallow

triggerClick is bound when a class is instantiated. It cannot be spied or mocked on Hit.prototype after that.

It should be either:

let spy = sinon.spy(Hit.prototype, 'triggerClick');
let hitComponent = renderShallow(<Hit triggerClick= mockFunction/>)

Or:

let hitComponent = renderShallow(<Hit triggerClick= mockFunction/>)
sinon.spy(hitComponent.instance(), 'triggerClick');
