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:

Using something like Vitest, Jest, or Mocha didn't work because:

However, I discovered a great combination that transformed my API call testing in TypeScript: Vitest and Mock Service Worker (MSW). Their well-crafted design makes them incredibly easy to use, enhancing the overall testing experience.

Next we’ll install Vitest and happy-dom to the project by running:

vitest is a testing framework similar to jest that integrates well with projects using Vite. It allows us to reuse plugins and configurations already set up in the vite.config.ts, making the test setup process easier.

Are you looking to migrate from Jest to Vitest for your React application? Look no further.

In addition to those tools, a new testing framework has emerged named Vitest. Vitest is built on top of Vite and has many exciting features to keep improving the overall developer experience for writing tests. This post shows you how to set up Vitest in your existing Angular project.
