Mocking clientHeight and scrollHeight in React + Enzyme for test

问题

We have a React component called ScrollContainer than calls a prop function when its content is scrolled to the bottom.

Basically:

componentDidMount() {
  const needsToScroll = this.container.clientHeight != this.container.scrollHeight

  const { handleUserDidScroll } = this.props

  if (needsToScroll) {
    this.container.addEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll)
  } else {
    handleUserDidScroll()
  }
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  this.container.removeEventListener('scroll', this.handleScroll)
}

handleScroll() {
  const { handleUserDidScroll } = this.props
  const node = this.container
  if (node.scrollHeight == node.clientHeight + node.scrollTop) {
    handleUserDidScroll()
  }
}

this.container is set as follows in the render method:

<div ref={ container => this.container = container }>
  ...
</div>

I want to test this logic using Jest + Enzyme.

I need a way to force the clientHeight, scrollHeight and scrollTop properties to be values of my choosing for the test scenario.

With mount instead of shallow I can get these values but they are always 0. I have yet to find any way to set them to anything non zero. I can set the container on wrapper.instance().container = { scrollHeight: 0 } and etc, but this only modifies the test context not the actual component.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Jest spyOn can be used to mock getter and setter from version 22.1.0+. See jest docs

I used below code to mock implementation of document.documentElement.scrollHeight

const scrollHeightSpy = jest
                    .spyOn(document.documentElement, 'scrollHeight', 'get')
                    .mockImplementation(() => 100);

It returns 100 as scrollHeight value.

JSDOM doesn't do any actual rendering - it just simulates the DOM structure - so things like element dimensions aren't calculated as you might expect. If you grab dimensions via method calls there are ways to mock these within your test. For example:

 beforeEach(() => {
    Element.prototype.getBoundingClientRect = jest.fn(() => {
          return { width: 100, height: 10, top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0 };
        });
  });

This obviously won't work in your example. It may be possible to override these properties on the elements and mock changes to them; but I suspect that wouldn't lead to particularly meaningful/useful tests.
