I'm having issues testing my components that use dispatch via useReducer with React-testing-library.
I created a less complex example to try to boil down what is going on and that is still having the same dispatch is not a function
problem. When I run my tests, I am getting this error:
11 | data-testid="jared-test-button"
12 | onClick={() => {
> 13 | dispatch({ type: 'SWITCH' })
| ^
14 | }}
15 | >
16 | Click Me
But when I do a console.log(typeof dispatch)
inside RandomButton
the output says function
.
Here is the test in question.
import React from 'react'
import RandomButton from '../RandomButton'
import { render, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/react'
describe('Button Render', () => {
it('click button', () => {
const { getByTestId, queryByText } = render(<RandomButton />)
expect(getByTestId('jared-test-button')).toBeInTheDocument()
fireEvent.click(getByTestId('jared-test-button'))
expect(queryByText('My name is frog')).toBeInTheDocument()
})
})
Here is my relevant code:
RandomButton.js
import React, { useContext } from 'react'
import MyContext from 'contexts/MyContext'
const RandomButton = () => {
const { dispatch } = useContext(MyContext)
return (
<div>
<Button
data-testid="jared-test-button"
onClick={() => {
dispatch({ type: 'SWITCH' })
}}
>
Click Me
</Button>
</div>
)
}
export default RandomButton
MyApp.js
import React, { useReducer } from 'react'
import {myreducer} from './MyFunctions'
import MyContext from 'contexts/MyContext'
import RandomButton from './RandomButton'
const initialState = {
blue: false,
}
const [{ blue },dispatch] = useReducer(myreducer, initialState)
return (
<MyContext.Provider value={{ dispatch }}>
<div>
{blue && <div>My name is frog</div>}
<RandomButton />
</div>
</MyContext.Provider>
)
export default MyApp
MyFunctions.js
export const myreducer = (state, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'SWITCH':
return { ...state, blue: !state.blue }
default:
return state
}
}
MyContext.js
import React from 'react'
const MyContext = React.createContext({})
export default MyContext
It is probably something stupid that I am missing, but after reading the docs and looking at other examples online I'm not seeing the solution.
