How to mock an async action creator in redux with jest?
I'm trying to write a unit test for a redux async action creator using jest. asyncActions.js:
const startSignInRequest = () => ({
type: START_SIGNIN_REQUEST
});
// action creator to dispatch the success of sign In
export const signInSucceded = user => ({
type: SIGNIN_USER_SUCCEEDED,
user
});
// action creator to dispatch the failure of the signIn request
export const signInFailed = error => ({
type: SIGNIN_USER_FAILED,
error
});
const signInUser = user => dispatch => {
dispatch(startSignInRequest);
return signInApi(user).then(
response => {
const { username, token } = response.data;
dispatch(signInSucceded(username));
localStorage.setItem("token", token);
history.push("/homepage");
},
error => {
let errorMessage = "Internal Server Error";
if (error.response) {
errorMessage = error.response.data;
}
dispatch(signInFailed(errorMessage));
dispatch(errorAlert(errorMessage));
}
);
};
signInApi.js:
import axios from "axios";
import { url } from "../../env/config";
const signInApi = async user => {
const fetchedUser = await axios.post(`${url}/signIn`, {
email: user.email,
password: user.password
});
return fetchedUser;
};
In the Writing tests of redux's official documentation, they use fetch-mock library. However, I think that this library call the real Api. I tried to mock the axios api using jest mocks.
/__mocks/signInApi.js:
const users = [
{
login: 'user 1',
password: 'password'
}
];
export default function signInApi(user) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const userFound = users.find(u => u.login === user.login);
process.nextTick(() =>
userFound
? resolve(userFound)
// eslint-disable-next-line prefer-promise-reject-errors
: reject({
error: 'Invalid user credentials',
}),
);
});
}
__tests/asyncActions.js:
jest.mock('../axiosApis/signInApi');
import * as actions from '../actions/asyncActions';
describe('Async action creators', () => {
it('Should create SIGN_IN_USER_SUCCEEDED when signIn user has been done', () => {
const user = {
login: 'user 1',
password: 'password'
}
expect(actions.signInUser(user)).resolves.toEqual({
user
})
})
});
The test failed and I got:
expect(received).resolves.toEqual()
Matcher error: received value must be a promise
Received has type: function
Received has value: [Function anonymous]
How can I mock this async action creator only with jest?
