Testing private routes

[pulse00]

I'm trying to test the privateRoute component to make sure redirectToLoginWithMessage is called and the loader is rendered when not authenticated etc.

I've managed to test the components markup, but i can't find a way to test the call to redirectToLoginWithMessage.

Here`s what i have so far:

import { describeWithDOM, mount } from 'enzyme';
import { expect, spy } from '../../utils/chai';

import { createStore } from 'redux';

import React from 'react';
import privateRoute from 'router/privateRoute';
import { PrivatePage } from 'ui/PrivatePage';

import initStore from 'config/store';

describeWithDOM('<PrivatePage />', () => {

  it('should render loader when not authenticated', () => {

    const WrappedRoute = privateRoute(PrivatePage);
    const store = initStore();
    const component = mount(<WrappedRoute store={store}></WrappedRoute>);

    // if the state is unauthenticated, loader should be visible and the
    // private component should not be there
    expect(component.find('.loader')).to.have.length(1);
    expect(component.find('.privatePage')).to.have.length(0);

    // TODO: how can we test that `redirectToLoginWithMessage` has been called?

  });
);

});

In your ComponentTest you are importing the stateless component, so you're able to inject the action under test as a prop. But how does this work for connected components such as the privateRoute?

I guess we should separate the connected version of this function from the base version just like we did for MyComponent.

I like that you are adding new tests to the application! Would you mind turn this into a PR?

I've tried this already, however i lost the reference to the Wrapped component then, but i guess it's just my lack of es6 experience :) I'll look into this approach some more, thanks!

Sure! As soon as i fixed the above issue, i'll send you a PR.
