Testing Patterns

info

Unit testing patterns are still in flux. This is all subject to change.

Retreon recommends testing your actions and reducers against a real redux store. Create a new store each test, run your actions, then assert on the new state.

This works particularly well when you separate effects from actions, and then you can mock the IO boundary and simulate different scenarios.

jest.mock('../effects')
test('fetch user details', async () => {  effects.fetchUserDetails.mockResolvedValue({ user })
  await store.dispatch(actions.fetchUserDetails(user.id))  expect(store.getState()).toMatchObject({    users: { [user.id]: user },  })})
test('fetch user details with error notice on request failure', async () => {  effects.fetchUserDetails.mockRejectedValue(new Error('Request failed.'))
  await store.dispatch(actions.fetchUserDetails(user.id))  expect(store.getState()).toMatchObject({    loadingState: 'error',  })})
