'How to mock a function using Frisby and Jest to return custom response?
I'm trying to mock a function using Frisby and Jest. Here are some details about my code:
dependencies axios: "^0.26.0", dotenv: "^16.0.0", express: "^4.17.2"
devDependencies frisby: "^2.1.3", jest: "^27.5.1"
When I mock using Jest, the correct response from API is returned, but I don't want it. I want to return a fake result like this: { a: 'b' }.
How to solve it?
I have the following code:
// (API Fetch file) backend/api/fetchBtcCurrency.js
const axios = require('axios');
const URL = 'https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/currentprice/BTC.json';
const getCurrency = async () => {
const response = await axios.get(URL);
return response.data;
};
module.exports = {
getCurrency,
};
// (Model using fetch file) backend/model/cryptoModel.js
const fetchBtcCurrency = require('../api/fetchBtcCurrency');
const getBtcCurrency = async () => {
const responseFromApi = await fetchBtcCurrency.getCurrency();
return responseFromApi;
};
module.exports = {
getBtcCurrency,
};
// (My test file) /backend/__tests__/cryptoBtc.test.js
require("dotenv").config();
const frisby = require("frisby");
const URL = "http://localhost:4000/";
describe("Testing GET /api/crypto/btc", () => {
beforeEach(() => {
jest.mock('../api/fetchBtcCurrency');
});
it('Verify if returns correct response with status code 200', async () => {
const fetchBtcCurrency = require('../api/fetchBtcCurrency').getCurrency;
fetchBtcCurrency.mockImplementation(() => (JSON.stringify({ a: 'b'})));
const defaultExport = await fetchBtcCurrency();
expect(defaultExport).toBe(JSON.stringify({ a: 'b'})); // This assert works
await frisby
.get(`${URL}api/crypto/btc`)
.expect('status', 200)
.expect('json', { a: 'b'}); // Integration test with Frisby does not work correctly.
});
});
Response[

->>>>>>> does not contain provided JSON [ {"a":"b"} ]
