This code is a port from the great ember-test-helpers to be used in Stencil projects.
npm install stencil-test-helpers
So helpers know how to do their thing, the TestWindow class provided by this package needs to be used. It behaves as the normal TestWindow, but with a couple of extra magic bits that let the helpers use their magic.
You need to add a removeTestWindow call in the aferEach hook.
The basic scaffold is:
import { TestWindow, removeTestWindow } from 'stencil-test-helpers';
describe('something', () => {
afterEach(() => {
removeTestWindow();
});
});
All the helpers accept a target both as a string (CSS selector) or an Element. All helpers will wait until the next tick before and after doing its work.
The available helpers are:
blur(target)click(target)doubleClick(target)fillIn(target, value: string)focus(target)getElement(target): Element | nulltap(target, options)triggerEvent(target, event, options)triggerKeyEvent(target, keyEventType, keyOrKeyCode, modifiers)FAQs
