Mock ES6 class
TypeScript is transpiling your ts file and your module is likely being imported using ES2015s import.
const soundPlayer = require('./sound-player')
. Therefore creating an instance of the class that was exported as
a default will look like this: new soundPlayer.default()
. However if you are mocking the class as suggested by the documentation.
jest.mock('./sound-player', () => {
return jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => {
return { playSoundFile: mockPlaySoundFile }
})
})
You will get the error
TypeError: sound_player_1.default is not a constructor
because soundPlayer.default
does not point to a function. Your mock has to return an object which has a property default
that points to a function.
jest.mock('./sound-player', () => {
return {
default: jest.fn().mockImplementation(() => {
return {
playSoundFile: mockPlaySoundFile,
}
}),
}
})
For named imports, like import { OAuth2 } from './oauth'
, replace default
with imported module name, OAuth2
in this example:
jest.mock('./oauth', () => {
return {
OAuth2: ... // mock here
}
})
