Here’s a concise message you could send to your teammates:

---

"Hey team, as we prepare for the showcase, let’s aim to communicate our feedback in a way that emphasizes collaboration and shared goals. We’ll acknowledge the mobile team’s hard work on the components and frame our use of inline styles as a temporary solution to meet specific dashboard design needs. Our goal is to suggest enhancing component styles to align with Figma requirements without seeming critical—just focused on delivering a unified user experience. Let’s keep it professional and supportive!"

---

This message should provide clear guidance on how to frame the feedback constructively.

Here’s an updated message that incorporates this additional point:

---

"Hey team, for the showcase, let’s make sure we communicate our feedback constructively and with a focus on collaboration. We’ll acknowledge the mobile team’s work on building the components and explain that, to match the Figma design, we’ve had to use minimal inline styles. We can clarify that the components provided were a solid base but were quite basic, so we applied these styles sparingly to achieve a closer alignment with the dashboard’s visual requirements. The aim is to be professional and highlight our shared goal of delivering a cohesive and polished UI."

---

This version addresses the need to clarify why inline styles were used while keeping the tone positive and collaborative.

Here’s a detailed breakdown for the JIRA story on introducing JEST as a testing framework for the React Native dashboard application in your monorepository setup:

---

Title: Introduce JEST Framework for Unit Testing in Dashboard Application

Story Summary: To enhance the testing capabilities of the dashboard application within our monorepository setup, we will introduce JEST as the primary testing framework. This includes configuring JEST to support React Native components and creating an initial layout test case that serves as a template for future testing efforts. The layout test will include proper mocking for dependencies, made possible through an additional configuration file.

Story Content:

As part of the ongoing development and testing strategy, our objective is to:

1. Set up and configure JEST as the testing framework for the dashboard application.

2. Write a test case for the main layout component, which will act as a template and reference for subsequent tests.

3. Implement necessary mocking through a configuration file that will handle dependencies and facilitate more comprehensive and isolated testing.

By introducing JEST, we aim to ensure our application components are tested in a consistent environment, especially important for React Native applications where UI components may have dependencies on platform-specific libraries.

Tasks:

1. Configure JEST in the dashboard application:

Install necessary JEST dependencies (e.g., jest, @testing-library/react-native, and any required React Native presets or mocks).

Update jest.config.js and babel.config.js to ensure compatibility with React Native.

Configure transformIgnorePatterns to enable JEST to work with dependencies like react-tt-js-polyfill.

2. Create a configuration file for mocking dependencies:

Define mocks for core components and libraries in this file.

Integrate with JEST to ensure consistent mock behavior across test cases.

3. Write a test case for the layout component:

Implement a sample test case for the layout component, which serves as a template and verifies that the component renders as expected.

Mock necessary data and components within the test.

Document this test case for use by other team members as a reference.

4. Update documentation:

Add instructions for running tests to the project’s README.

Document the setup steps for future contributors to streamline the testing process.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. JEST is installed and correctly configured in the dashboard application.

2. The jest.config.js and babel.config.js files are updated to handle React Native dependencies.

3. A configuration file for mocking dependencies is implemented and integrated with JEST.

4. A test case for the layout component is created and verified to run successfully, covering at least basic rendering functionality with mocks applied.

5. Documentation is updated to include testing instructions, setup steps, and guidelines for writing new test cases.

Definition of Done:

The JEST framework is fully integrated, and test cases can be executed without errors.

The initial layout test case runs successfully and meets the requirements specified in the acceptance criteria.

Mocking is consistently applied through the configuration file, supporting isolated testing of components.

Documentation and setup instructions are available in the README file.

The story is reviewed, tested, and approved by the QA or designated reviewer.

Here’s a status update you could post for this story:

---

Status Update:

Completed:

JEST has been successfully installed and configured in the dashboard application.

Modifications have been applied to jest.config.js and babel.config.js files to handle React Native dependencies.

A configuration file for mocking dependencies has been created and integrated with JEST.

The test case for the layout component has been implemented and runs successfully with proper mocks.

In Progress:

We encountered an issue where, upon adding new test cases, we receive an error indicating a missing describe import in the test file.

Currently working on fixing this issue to ensure that all tests run as expected.

Additionally, working to resolve component rendering issues related to the mocks in place.

Next steps involve troubleshooting these errors to enable successful execution of all test cases without import-related or rendering issues.

The error you're encountering is:

Unable to find an element with text: "Placeholder for Footer App Bar"

Reason for the Error:

This error suggests that the testing library (most likely React Testing Library) is unable to find the text node "Placeholder for Footer App Bar" in the rendered output of the RootLayout component. Here are some potential reasons:

1. Conditional Rendering:

In your RootLayout.tsx, you might have a condition that prevents "Placeholder for Footer App Bar" from being rendered. For example, the use of useEffect with a loading check (if (!loaded) return null;) could mean that the placeholder text isn't available when the test runs.

2. Async Rendering Issue:

If the rendering of the placeholder depends on an asynchronous operation, such as fetching data or loading state (e.g., useEffect for splash screen hiding), the test might be running before this content is displayed.

3. Component Hierarchy:

It is possible that the Stack.Screen or another nested component does not pass through the placeholder text correctly, or it is hidden behind another component structure.

Suggestions to Fix the Error:

Option 1: Wait for the Text to Appear

If the placeholder text appears after some asynchronous operation, use findByText (which you are already doing) but ensure there is enough time for the component to render:

expect(await findByText("Placeholder for Footer App Bar")).toBeTruthy();

Increase the timeout if necessary:

expect(await findByText("Placeholder for Footer App Bar", {}, { timeout: 3000 })).toBeTruthy();

Option 2: Check the loaded State in Test

Ensure that the loaded state is true when the component is rendered. You might want to mock this state for your test:

jest.spyOn(React, "useState").mockReturnValue([true, jest.fn()]);

Option 3: Verify the Placeholder is Rendered

Add a console log in RootLayout.tsx to check if the placeholder text is actually rendered when the component mounts:

useEffect(() => { if (loaded) { console.log("Rendering: Placeholder for Footer App Bar"); } }, [loaded]);

Option 4: Simplify the Test for Debugging

Try rendering a simpler version of your component in the test to isolate the issue:

render();

This helps determine if the issue is specifically related to the async useEffect or SplashScreen.

Recommendation:

Start with checking your console logs during testing. If the placeholder text is never logged, it's likely the loading check or some async condition is preventing it from rendering. Adjust the test accordingly by mocking or waiting for the content.

I had a scheduled cab from the office to leave for home at 7:30 PM IST, but due to traffic, it was pre-booked for 7:00 PM instead. Unfortunately, this means I likely won’t be able to make it to the show today. I’m currently working on my stories and debugging the issues. Apologies for the late notice, as I was just informed about the change.
