react-native-testing-library VS Detox

Testing library: @testing-library/react-native

Has anyone recently done unit tests in RN using jest and https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/. I’m struggling to mock all the libraries. The example given in testing-library seems to doesn’t need to mock all the libraries but in my case it throws error. I’ve also added ‘transformIgnorePatterns’ in package.json. Any help or repo would be helpful.

This article offers an overview of React Native testing, but there’s so much more to learn! I encourage you to explore other testing techniques and tools, like Snapshot Testing, Detox, and React Native Testing Library. Choose the ones that work best for your project, and keep learning!

Introducing a new tool means introducing a new workflow. This can lead to lower adoption, as developers need to to get familiar with it in the first place. To prevent that from happening, we've based Reassure on https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/ API as something React Native developers should be familiar with.

Tests with Jest and React Native Testing Library.

The standard is React Native Testing Library for unit and integration tests, and Detox for E2E tests.

Using our experience from developing the React Native Testing Library, we created Reassure—a performance regression testing companion for React and React Native components. We developed it in partnership with Entain – one of the world’s largest sports betting and gaming groups.

I'm building a React Native application with TypeScript. I'm using React Native Testing Library for my component tests.

I faced the following issue https://github.com/callstack/react-native-testing-library/issues/955. Production build is failed and error points to the library from devDependencies.

In this tutorial, we'll be using react native testing library and the main philosophy of this library is focusing on testing how your application works, instead of its implementation.

Nope. Not even on 0.71 yet https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/3884

I used Detox to test React Native apps. At that time, Detox was so "cool", saving both the time and effort of the dev team and the tester team. However, later on, I saw the complexity, as well as the "difficulty" with new team members, and that's when Maestro came to me as a savior. I know Maestro through an article on dev.to, but my team's "noob" is true 😂 (but my teammates don't believe it).

End-to-end testing is completely different on React Native, however. None of the Selenium-based E2E testing tools will work; neither will newer tools like Cypress or Playwright. You may have expected this - these are all DOM-based, and there’s no DOM in React Native. So instead developers will have to learn Detox or Appium.

Detox is a testing and automation tool for React Native and React web applications. It can be used to automate the process of testing an iOS app by simulating user interactions and then verifying that the app functions as expected.

I haven't used it yet, but it seems detox is a fine e2e testing tool for react native. something like cypress in the web. I think it's a little hard to configure, but in the end, it's really helpful.

We also improved our React Native support by adding the possibility to generate a Detox config for Expo applications.

Copy & paste the content of the equivalent file from the detox example app for RN, into it. Don't forget to change the package name to your project's package name.
