Spying on React functional component method with jest and enzyme; Cannot spyOn on a primitive value

问题

I am trying to test a React component and make sure that when its button gets clicked, the correct method gets invoked. However, when I try to run my test and try to spy on that method, I get the following message:

Error: Cannot spyOn on a primitive value; undefined given

How do I test that when a button is clicked the correct method is invoked? Thanks!

sampleComponent.jsx:

import * as React from 'react';

const SampleComponent = () => {
  const sampleMethod = () => {
    console.log('hello world');
  };

  return <button onClick={sampleMethod} type="button">Click Me</button>;
};

export default SampleComponent;

sampleComponent.test.jsx:

import * as React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import SampleComponent from './sample';

test('testing spy', () => {
  const spy = jest.spyOn(SampleComponent.prototype, 'sampleMethod');
  const wrapper = shallow(<SampleComponent />);
  wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');
  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

回答1:

The error means, the function sampleMethod you defined inside the functional component SampleComponent is not defined in SampleComponent.prototype. So SampleComponent.prototype.sampleMethod is undefined, jest can't spy on a undefined value.

So the correct way to test sampleMethod event handler is like this:

index.spec.tsx:

import React from 'react';
import SampleComponent from './';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';

describe('SampleComponent', () => {
  test('should handle click correctly', () => {
    const logSpy = jest.spyOn(console, 'log');
    const wrapper = shallow(<SampleComponent></SampleComponent>);
    const button = wrapper.find('button');
    expect(button.text()).toBe('Click Me');
    button.simulate('click');
    expect(logSpy).toBeCalledWith('hello world');
  });
});

We can spy on console.log, to assert it is to be called or not.

Unit test result with 100% coverage:

 PASS  src/react-enzyme-examples/02-react-hooks/index.spec.tsx

    ✓ should handle click correctly (19ms)

  console.log node_modules/jest-mock/build/index.js:860
    hello world
