How to test url change with Jest

Question

I have the following function to test

function tradePage() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    window.location.pathname =          


        

Answer 1

I found a working method by declaring in the beginning of the test a global variable:

global.window = { location: { pathname: null } };

and checked this variable like this:

expect(global.window.location.pathname).toEqual('/new-url');

That worked fine.
