Testing

[hueniverse]

I have no clue how to write tests for a React Native module like this but I would assume it's possible...

Anyone wants to take a first stab at setting up some tests? Anything at all would be fantastic! I am all ready with a test label!

Good question ... I don't think jest is very useful ... It is possble to add a string describing player state in JS which describe player state, and then test with appium

I don't think it's possible to test a native module with jest.

However, you can test if the props are passed / changed correctly after mocking the library. jest.mock('react-native-video', ()=> 'ReactNativeVideo').

Only problem is I cannot test the behaviour of ref s like ref.seek. If anyone has a good solution, I would like to know.

Hello did someone find a solution to test it ?

By using this below mock we can test react-native-video:

jest.mock('react-native-video',()=>{
    const React = require('react');
    class Video extends React.Component {
        constructor(props:any){
            super(props);
            this.seek = this.seek.bind(this);
        }
        seek(){}

        render(){
            return React.createElement('Video',this.props,null);
        }
    }
    return Video;
})

@laughingdevil thank you for this peace of code ! In fact there are 2 topics.

• Testing app with jest: your code corresponds to this.
• Testing the package itself with sample data (Todo)
