unit tests

toBeInTheDocument()

Every time I use expect("anything").toBeInTheDocument() on test file, when running the test I get:

TypeError: expect(...).toBeInTheDocument is not a function

solution

install jest-dom npm i --save-dev @testing-library/jest-dom
create a setupTests.js file in <rootDir>/src and put import '@testing-library/jest-dom'; in your file

stackoverflow question #1 - react-testing-library why is toBeInTheDocument() not a function

stackoverflow question #2 - Got TypeError: expect(...).toBeInTheDocument is not a function even after proper setup

prop drilling

When I tried to render the component Input.jsx while running the test I get:

expect(received).toBe(expected) // Object.is equality

    Expected: "racecar"
    Received: ""

solution

The component recieves props and I had to pass in those props as well while testing

const props = {
        setWord: jest.fn(),
        handleSubmit: jest.fn(),
        stop: "racecar",
    }

    render(<Input {...props} />);

userEvent

I wanted to trigger user input, so I chose to use @testing-library/user-event

userEvent.type(inputEl, "racecar");


    await waitFor(() => {
        expect(inputEl.value).toBe("racecar");
    })

solving git error

This project was created from scratch and was not linked to the remote GitHub repository, so I started the process of setting a remote-tracking branch for my local repo. This is because I lost my .git sub-directory (somehow)

problem 1

action

git add . && git commit -m "switch branch, write unit test" && git push

error

fatal: The current branch main has no upstream branch.

solution

git push --set-upstream origin main

problem 2

action

git push --set-upstream origin main

error

fatal: failed to push some refs to github.com/**

solution

git pull --rebase origin main

problem 3

action

git pull

error

There is no tracking information for the current branch, If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

solution

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/main main

problem 4

error

fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories

solution

git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories

FINALLY

git pull --rebase origin main

git add .

git commit -m "resolve merge conflicts"

git push

Attention

When a merge conflict occurs , you can open individual file. You will get "<<<<<<< or >>>>>>>" symbols. These refer to your changes and the changes present on remote. You can manually edit the part that is requires. after that save the file and then do : git add

The merge conflicts will be resolved.

Pulling is not possible because you have unmerged files

Git refusing to merge unrelated histories on rebase

Git push rejected "non-fast-forward"
