jest-dom VS msw

//config/jest/setupTests.ts // jest-dom adds custom jest matchers for asserting on DOM nodes. // allows you to do things like: // expect(element).toHaveTextContent(/react/i) // learn more: https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom import '@testing-library/jest-dom';

Update: Just got it working. Following the instructions on this github issue and using `shamefully-hoist=true` with pnpm I got it working. The issue I was facing was with pnpm.

React Testing Library uses jest-dom which has a .getByText() matcher.

vitest-dom extends the standard Jest matchers with convenient methods like .toBeDisabled. Now you can write tests that assert on the state of the DOM. The package is a fork of @testing-library/jest-dom.

jest-dom matchers

At the time of writing this article, it still seems to be an open issue. However, a workaround I found is to add "skipLibCheck": true, to your tsconfig.json file.

// jest-dom adds custom jest matchers for asserting on DOM nodes. // allows you to do things like: // expect(element).toHaveTextContent(/react/i) // learn more: https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom import '@testing-library/jest-dom'; import { server } from './mocks/server'; beforeAll( () => server.listen( { onUnhandledRequest: 'error' } ) ); afterEach( () => server.resetHandlers() ); afterAll( () => server.close() );

Everything you want to do to your test environment such as extends the jest matchers with @testing-library/jest-dom, mock some APIs that’s not implemented in jdom, you can put to config/jest/setupTests.js:

This will register the additional assertions from @testing-library/jest-dom.

> For those wondering what the use case is, you must not have tried it. It does take work to set up (with each version that's less), but it can be very nice to test in isolation esp in cases where a component is under a login, the 4th page of a 10 page form, etc. Also obviously if you're working on a component library that ships without an app, Storybook can be your development and/or demo app.

I have worked with storybook extensively over the past couple of years and my team is moving away from it in favour of MSW (https://mswjs.io).

For "4th page of a 10 page form" during the development there's hot reloading which is really stable nowadays and haven't failed me, although I understand that some setups are old and it might be easier to configure Storybook than good hot reloading.

I'm not entirely sure about the testing part of it and I'd be grateful if you could elaborate. I haven't felt the need for some special setup with SB because for unit tests, I can test a deeply nested component separately. For E2E tests, I usually test the whole form.

I agree on the component library part, this is probably the only use case where Storybook is 100% justified, but I'm unconvinced about the

Additionally, thank you to all our community launch partners across the frontend ecosystem for helping us bring Storybook 8 to the world!

similar with msw.js, but fully automated

they could be network mocks (use msw)

With orval, we can also integrate the API client in our unit tests. Orval provides first class support for mocking through the (Mock Service Worker)[https://mswjs.io/] library, and it can automatically generate the MSW handlers for testing server.

Consider a hypothetical scenario where data from a list of companies within an ERP needs to be retrieved. As a personal recommendation, leverage tools like MSW for top-level mocks, which can significantly enhance the testing process.
