I'm trying to use Svelte to create a simple reactive component. The component loads data from an api server onMount
and updates a reactive value (which updates a html element).
I have a simple vitest that renders the component and verifies the value of the html element. However while running under vitest the onMount
is never called and hence the api call is never made. What am I missing ?
Component.svelte
:
<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
export let name = 'world';
onMount(async () => {
console.log('chat onMount event!');
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8081/api');
// for this example, assume name returned by api is FOO
name = data.name;
});
</script>
<div id="#element">
<b> Hello {name}</b>
</div>
index.test.js
:
import { expect, test } from 'vitest';
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/svelte';
import Component from '../src/lib/Component.svelte';
test('should render', () => {
render(Component);
const heading = screen.getByText('Hello FOO');
expect(heading).toBeInTheDocument();
});
After some sleuthing I stumbled on this issue: https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/issues/2834
As I'm running Svelte 4.0.0 the onMount
is no longer invoked under vitest, hence I had to ad this to vite.config.js
to make it work:
{
test: {
alias: [{ find: /^svelte$/, replacement: 'svelte/internal' }],
....
},
....
}
