Javascript Test unit with Jest an ES6 module












1















too many divergent posts upon googling to choose a clear and up-to-date solution...



I wrote 3 tests to check different possibilities



===========. TEST 1 OK ================



// helloJest.js



function sayHello() {
return "hello there jest"
}
module.exports = sayHello;


// helloJestTest



const sayHello = require('../../src/client/js/helloJest');
test('string returning hello there jest', () => {//
expect(sayHello()).toEqual('hello there jest');
});


===========. TEST 2 FAILING ================



// helloJest.js



function sayHello() {
return "hello there jest"
}
export default { sayHello }; // <= changed


// helloJestTest



const sayHello = require('../../src/client/js/helloJest');
test('string returning hello there jest', () => {//
expect(sayHello()).toEqual('hello there jest');
});

TypeError: sayHello is not a function

3 |
4 | test('string returning hello there jest', () => {//
> 5 | expect(sayHello()).toEqual('hello there jest');
| ^
6 | });
7 |


===========. TEST 3 FAILING ================



// helloJest.js



function sayHello() {
return "hello there jest"
}
export default { sayHello }; // <= changed


// helloJestTest



import { sayHello } from '../../src/client/js/helloJest'; // <= changed
test('string returning hello there jest', () => {//
expect(sayHello()).toEqual('hello there jest');
});

TypeError: (0 , _helloJest.sayHello) is not a function

3 |
4 | test('string returning hello there jest', () => {//
> 5 | expect(sayHello()).toEqual('hello there jest');
| ^
6 | });


How to pass the TEST 3 correctly ???



I am using the following packages



package.json



"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"babel-jest": "^23.6.0",
"babel-loader": "^7.1.5",
"babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",
...
"jest": {
"moduleFileExtensions": ["js"],
"transform": { "^.+\.js?$": "babel-jest" },
"testRegex": "/tests/.*\.(js)$"
}


and I have in



.babelrc



{
"presets": ["env"]
}

You're tripping up in a couple of places there. Primarily: You don't use {} with the default import/export.



This:



export default { sayHello };


exports an object as the default export of the module. The object has a single property, sayHello, referring to the function. To make the function the default export, don't use the {}:



export default sayHello;


Then, when importing, if you want the default import, don't use {}:



import sayHello from '../../src/client/js/helloJest';




If you want to export a named export, you do use {}:



export { sayHello };


and



import { sayHello } from '../../src/client/js/helloJest';

TEST 2



You do export as default an object with a single property which is the sayHello function, so you should import it in jest through the following:



const { sayHello } = require('../../src/client/js/helloJest');



TEST 3



Again you do export as above.
In this case you can import it as the following:



import Hello from '../../src/client/js/helloJest';



And then you should be able to use your func as:



Hello.sayHello
