Testing React Select component

I would like to use React-Select react component, but I need to add tests.

I've tried several options I found with google, but nothing seems to work. I have the code below, but it's not causing a change event. I have been able to add a focus event, which adds 'is-focussed' class, but the 'is-open' class is still missing.

I have used: https://github.com/JedWatson/react-select/blob/master/test/Select-test.js as a reference

I have tried to use a change event only on the input field, but this has not helped either. I noticed there is a onInputChange={this.change} for the select.

Test

import Home from '../../src/components/home';
import { mount } from 'enzyme'

describe('Home', () => {

it("renders home", () => {

    const component = mount(<Home/>);

    // default class on .Select div
    // "Select foobar Select--single is-searchable"

    const select = component.find('.Select');

    // After focus event
    // "Select foobar Select--single is-searchable is-focussed"
    // missing is-open
    TestUtils.Simulate.focus(select.find('input'));

    //this is not working
    TestUtils.Simulate.keyDown(select.find('.Select-control'), { keyCode: 40, key: 'ArrowDown' });
    TestUtils.Simulate.keyDown(select.find('.Select-control'), { keyCode: 13, key: 'Enter' });

    // as per code below I expect the h2 to have the select value in it eg 'feaure'

});
});

Component under test

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Select from 'react-select';

class Home extends Component {
constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
        message: "Please select option"};
    this.change = this.change.bind(this);
}

change(event) {

    if(event.value) {
        this.setState({message: event.label});
    }
}

render () {

    const options = [ {label: 'bug', value: 1} , {label: 'feature', value: 2 }, {label: 'documents', value: 3}, {label: 'discussion', value: 4}];

    return (
      <div className='content xs-full-height'>
          <div>
              <h2>{this.state.message}</h2>

              <Select
                  name="select"
                  value={this.state.message}
                  options={options}
                  onInputChange={this.change}
                  onChange={this.change}
              />

          </div>
        </div>
    );
}
}

export default Home;

Command line To run test I do:

>> npm run test

and in package.js I have this script:

"test": "mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register -w test/browser.js ./new",

Test setup

and browser.js is:

import 'babel-register';
import jsdom from 'jsdom';

const exposedProperties = ['window', 'navigator', 'document'];

global.document = jsdom.jsdom('<!doctype html><html><body></body></html>');
global.window = document.defaultView;
Object.keys(document.defaultView).forEach((property) => {
   if (typeof global[property] === 'undefined') {
       exposedProperties.push(property);
       global[property] = document.defaultView[property];
   }
});

global.navigator = {
    userAgent: 'node.js'
};

I have also tried using methods for testing outlined here: https://github.com/StephenGrider/ReduxSimpleStarter

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I've tried both answers listed above, and still no luck.

What did work for me was:

  1. Add classNamePrefix prop - i.e list (as mentioned in the other answers) :

    <Select
       classNamePrefix='list'
       options={[
         { label: 'one', value: 'one' },
         { label: 'two', value: 'two' }
    ]}/>
    
  2. select the dropdown indicator & simulate a mouseDown => opened dropdown:

    wrapper
      .find('.list__dropdown-indicator')
      .simulate('mouseDown', {
        button: 0 
      });
    
  3. expect things to happen i.e. in my case I was checking for the number of dropdown options

    expect(wrapper.find('.list__option').length).toEqual(2);
    

    if you have control over the props being sent, you can add a menuIsOpen prop to always have the menu open (aka step 2 in the list).

To select a value from the dropdown, after opening the dropdown:

wrapper.find('.list__option').last().simulate('click', null);

then you can test either:

expect(wrapper.find('.list__value-container').text()).toEqual('two');

or

expect(wrapper.find('.list__single-value').text()).toEqual('two');
