Usage

https://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/cli.html

Mock

Jest - Mock

Assertion

The assertion library is jasmine

ToThrow

test('Crawler Base Url Test', async () => {
        expect(() => {myFunction()}).toThrow(Error);
})

File Structure

Jest will look for test files with any of the following popular naming conventions:

  • Files with .js suffix in __tests__ folders.
  • Files with .test.js suffix.
  • Files with .spec.js suffix.

The .test.js / .spec.js files (or the __tests__ folders) can be located at any depth under the src top level folder.

It's recommended to collocate the test file with the source file (ie put the test files (or __tests__ folders) next to the code they are testing ) because of:

  • shorter relative imports (ie Source)
  • searching the test is easier

Run

Node

test is a global variable injected by Jest. You need to run your tests through jest

  • Test
test('3 equal 3', () => {
    expect(3).toBe(3);
});
  • Run
jest my-test --notify --config=config.json

Browser

experimental

- https://github.com/kvendrik/jest-lite 

<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/core.js"></script>

expect = jestLite.core.expect;

try {
   expect(3).toBe(2)
} catch (e) {
   // If the test is not good an exception is fired.
   console.log(e.message);
}
