Mock localStorage
for headless unit tests
Inspired by StackOverflow answers and wrapped into npm package.
I'm archiving this repository because I have no time to support it myself.
There is a Travic CI script in the repo, which used to work - build tags and releases when I reviewed and merged PRs, but I've just noticed that it stopped to work.
Travis now urges me to choose a payment plan and provide a credit card info to continue builds even for open-source project, which I'm not ready to do.
If anyone wants to maintain this project, you are welcome - you should be able to make a fork of archived project.
Used to mock localStorage
to run headless tests of cache implementation in terminal (ie. without browser).
npm install mock-local-storage --save-dev
Require in Mocha, which will replace localStorage
and sessionStorage
on the global
and window
objects:
mocha --require mock-local-storage
If you are using jsdom-global
, make sure it is required before mock-local-storage
:
mocha --require jsdom-global --require mock-local-storage
In a node environment you can mock the window.localStorage
as follows:
global.window = {}
import 'mock-local-storage'
window.localStorage = global.localStorage
This is very useful when you want to run headless tests on code meant for the browser that use localStorage
You can even store this in a file that is reused across tests:
mock-localstorage.js
global.window = {}
import 'mock-local-storage'
window.localStorage = global.localStorage
using-localstorage.test.js
import './mock-localstorage'
// unit tests follow here
Besides mocking of conventional localStorage
interface, this implementation provides
a way for test code to register a callback to be invoked on item insertion.
Mock implementation will invoke it when localStorage.setItem()
is called
(but not with localStorage[key]
notation).
It can be used to emulate allocation errors, like this:
describe('test with mock localStorage', () => {
afterEach(() => {
localStorage.clear();
// remove callback
localStorage.itemInsertionCallback = null;
});
it('emulate quota exceeded error', () => {
localStorage.length.should.equal(0);
// register callback
localStorage.itemInsertionCallback = (len) => {
if (len >= 5) {
let err = new Error('Mock localStorage quota exceeded');
err.code = 22;
throw err;
}
};
let handled = false;
try {
for (let i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
localStorage.setItem(i, i);
}
} catch (e) {
if (e.code == 22) {
// handle quota exceeded error
handled = true;
}
}
handled.should.be.true;
localStorage.length.should.equal(5);
});
});
There are some caveats with using index
operator. Browser's localStorage
works with strings and stringifyes objects stored via localStorage[key]
notation,
but this implementation does not.
localStorage.itemInsertionCallback
won't be invoked with localStorage[key]
notation.
