Jest Mock module per test

Question

I am quite confused with mocking in Jest an how to unit test the implementations. The thing is i want to mock different expected behaviours.

Is there any way to ach

Answer 1

I use the following pattern:

'use strict'

const packageToMock = require('../path')

jest.mock('../path')
jest.mock('../../../../../../lib/dmp.db')

beforeEach(() => {
  packageToMock.methodToMock.mockReset()
})

describe('test suite', () => {
  test('test1', () => {
    packageToMock.methodToMock.mockResolvedValue('some value')
    expect(theThingToTest.someAction().type).toBe(types.SOME_TYPE)

  })
  test('test2', () => {
    packageToMock.methodToMock.mockResolvedValue('another value')
    expect(theThingToTest.someAction().type).toBe(types.OTHER_TYPE)
  })
})

Explanation:

You mock the class you are trying to use on test suite level, make sure the mock is reset before each test and for every test you use mockResolveValue to describe what will be return when mock is returned
