Mock localStorage
for headless unit tests
Inspired by StackOverflow answers and wrapped into npm package.
This package has moved from the letsrock-today repository into KaiSforza's GitLab repository.
There is a copy of the code in Github, as well, but issues and pull requests will only be watched in Gitlab.
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.
