using jest vs react-scripts test










1















js and react newbie...playing around with testing frameworks...here's the code:



 import React from 'react';
// import CheckboxWithLabel from '../CheckboxWithLabel';
import shallow from 'enzyme'; //not installed...

//var x = require ('../CheckboxWithLabel.js');


test('CheckboxWithLabel changes the text after click', () =>
const checkbox = shallow(
<CheckboxWithLabel labelOn="On" labelOff="Off" />
);
expect(checkbox.text()).toEqual('Off');
checkbox.find('input').simulate('change');
expect(checkbox.text()).toEqual('On');
);


react-scripts test error: Cannot find module 'enzyme' from 'checkboxWithLabel-test.js'



jest error:



Jest encountered an unexpected token

SyntaxError: /Users/shriamin/Development/js_prj_react_django_etc/jest_react_demo/my-app/src/__tests__/checkboxWithLabel-test.js: Unexpected token (12:4)

10 | test('CheckboxWithLabel changes the text after click', () => {
11 | const checkbox = shallow(
> 12 | <CheckboxWithLabel labelOn="On" labelOff="Off" />
| ^
13 | );
14 | expect(checkbox.text()).toEqual('Off');
15 | checkbox.find('input').simulate('change');


i have no idea why jest would throw this error...react-scripts test makes sense to me since enzyme is not installed....please tell me does jest suck or am i doing something wrong configuring jest (installed via npm and update package.json).



NOTE: i don't have babel installed...i don't know what that is yet.



thanks

  • i don't have babel installed - you don't have to, that's what react-scripts (create-react-app) basically does itself. This likely should be checkboxWithLabel-test.jsx and not checkboxWithLabel-test.js

  • there are multiple problems in this script. It just seems the order in which they are dealt with is not intuitive to me. Yes there is a second problem with how CheckboxWithLabel is defined, however the missing enzyme module at top seems like it would have precedence. I guess I just don't understand that...

    Jest is awesome but it wasn't configured properly. The error means that JSX syntax isn't transpiled. I cannot understand the case. How did you come up with malfunctioning setup like this one? create-react-app is supposed to generate a setup with react-scripts that works out of the box. It already uses Jest. If you're trying to set up Jest in addition to react-scripts, you shouldn't do this.

    Was there a reason to do this? react-scripts is basically preconfigured setup, this includes preconfigured Jest. react-scripts test runs jest with specific configuration. When you run jest directly, it lacks needed configuration.

    I assume this was a tutorial that didn't imply that you already use CRA. In case it implied that, I'd say that's really bad tutorial.
