🐙 Simple and complete DOM testing utilities that encourage good testing practices.
I spent quite a lot of time reading through the ideas on this long-running issue: calling runAllTimers after using Lodash's _.debounce results in an infinite recursion error. That gave me the tip to switch from jest.runAllTimers() to jest.runOnlyPendingTimers(), but I was still getting the TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'useFakeTimers') error message.
I kept looking through Github issues and PRs to try and work out what my local application was missing, and why the documentation examples didn't work for me. Eventually, I found this issue and its associated pull request where a contribitor discovered why their use of jest.useFakeTimers('modern') was failing:
I did some digging and it looks like testing-library/dom-testing-library recommended using jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen in its release notes for v7.0.0 because CRA was using an older version of Jest which provided an older version of jsdom that was missing support for things like MutationObservers and other modern web features. However, eventually CRA was updated to use the newer version of Jest, and this made using jest-environment-jsdom-sixteen unnecessary – and in this case actually harmful as it prevented me from using the new useFakeTimers('modern') functionality. Once I removed the --env=jsdom-sixteen line from the test script in package.json everything started working as I expected.
