Module freya::_docs::testing

Testing

freya-testing is a special renderer that lets you run your components in a headless environment. This lets you write unit tests for your components.

Getting started

Add freya-testing:

[dev-dependencies]
freya-testing = "0.1"

You can use the launch_test function to run the tests of the component. It returns a set of utilities to interact with the component.

For example, this launches a state-less component and asserts that it renders a label with the text "Hello World!".

#[tokio::test]
async fn test() {
    fn our_component() -> Element {
        rsx!(
            label {
                "Hello World!"
            }
        )
    }

    let mut utils = launch_test(our_component);

    let root = utils.root();
    let label = root.get(0);
    let label_text = label.get(0);

    assert_eq!(label_text.text(), Some("Hello World!"));
}

The root() function gives you the Root node of your app. With the get function, you can retrieve a Node from its parent given its index position.

Dynamic components

If the component has logic that might execute asynchronously, you need to wait for the component to update using the wait_for_update function before asserting the result.

Here, the component has a state that is false by default, but once mounted, it updates the state to true.

#[tokio::test]
async fn dynamic_test() {
    fn dynamic_component() -> Element {
        let mut state = use_signal(|| false);

        use_hook(move || {
            state.set(true);
        });

        rsx!(
            label {
                "Is enabled? {state}"
            }
        )
    }

    let mut utils = launch_test(dynamic_component);

    let root = utils.root();
    let label = root.get(0);

    assert_eq!(label.get(0).text(), Some("Is enabled? false"));

    // This runs the `use_effect` and updates the state.
    utils.wait_for_update().await;

    assert_eq!(label.get(0).text(), Some("Is enabled? true"));
}

Events

You can simulate events on the component, for example, simulate a click event on a rect and assert that the state was updated.

#[tokio::test]
async fn event_test() {
    fn event_component() -> Element {
        let mut enabled = use_signal(|| false);

        rsx!(
            rect {
                width: "100%",
                height: "100%",
                background: "red",
                onclick: move |_| {
                    enabled.set(true);
                },
                label {
                    "Is enabled? {enabled}"
                }
            }
        )
    }

    let mut utils = launch_test(event_component);

    let rect = utils.root().get(0);
    let label = rect.get(0);

    utils.wait_for_update().await;

    let text = label.get(0);
    assert_eq!(text.text(), Some("Is enabled? false"));

    // Push a click event to the events queue
    utils.push_event(PlatformEvent::Mouse {
        name: "click",
        cursor: (5.0, 5.0).into(),
        button: Some(MouseButton::Left),
    });

    // Run the queued events and update the state
    utils.wait_for_update().await;

    // Because the click event was executed, and the state updated, the text has changed too!
    let text = label.get(0);
    assert_eq!(text.text(), Some("Is enabled? true"));
}

Testing configuration

The launch_test comes with a default configuration, but you can pass your own config with the launch_test_with_config function.

Here is an example of how to can set our custom window size:

#[tokio::test]
async fn test() {
    fn our_component() -> Element {
        rsx!(
            label {
                "Hello World!"
            }
        )
    }

    let mut utils = launch_test_with_config(
        our_component,
        TestingConfig {
            size: (500.0, 800.0).into(),
            ..TestingConfig::default()
        },
    );

    let root = utils.root();
    let label = root.get(0);
    let label_text = label.get(0);

    assert_eq!(label_text.text(), Some("Hello World!"));
}
