Currently, I am implementing unit test for my project and there is a file that contained window.location.href.
I want to mock this to test and here is m
Based on examples above and in other threads, here is a concrete example using jest that might help someone:
describe('Location tests', () => {
const originalLocation = window.location;
const mockWindowLocation = (newLocation) => {
delete window.location;
window.location = newLocation;
};
const setLocation = (path) =>
mockWindowLocation(
new URL(`https://example.com${path}`)
);
afterEach(() => {
// Restore window.location to not destroy other tests
mockWindowLocation(originalLocation);
});
it('should mock window.location successfully', () => {
setLocation('/private-path');
expect(window.location.href).toEqual(
`https://example.com/private-path`
);
});
});
