I am getting this type of error while executing enzyme test case in React. Below is my test case. Can anyone please help.

context("testing case1", () => {

it("contains correct context notification text", () => {
const date = "2019-05-05"
const testOrder = Object.assign({}, XYZ, { type: ABC, status: A })
const textExpected = abc ${moment(date).format("DD.MM.YYYY")}
expect(renderCtxNotification(testOrder).find("section").text()).to.equal(textExpected)
})
})
const renderCtxNotification = (orderData) => mount(resolveOrderStatusContents(orderData).ctxNotification.renderContents(orderData)

**Below is the error:

section is present in .jsx file:

<section>
            <H4><LocalizedText locKey="text1" /></H4>

            </BodyText>
          </section>

The code you provided has a syntax error; can you share the actual jsx being passed into mount? (i suggest avoiding over abstractions that hide away passing jsx directly into an enzyme wrapper, since they make tests much harder to understand and maintain)

What does .debug() say on the wrapper?

[smrititaneja18]

i cannot just paste whole .jsx file here but this is the only chunk of code i have added (the section part) and while debugging my test case is going in default case. the condition is not satisfied and hence it is going in default case.

I understand, but it's pretty hard to make a reproducible test case without the entire component code, and the complete test code (including abstractions).
