Prevent dispatch of certain action types in tests #77

Closed kuhnroyal closed 4 years ago

kuhnroyal commented 4 years ago

I often have actions that dispatch new actions in after* functions, basically chaining a few actions. When unit testing I always have to mock everything for the whole action chain when I only want to test the first action. Is there a way to prevent the actual dispatch of these chained action in tests? StoreTester allows to ignore actions but that is only in regard to their validation.

I found a way by overriding dispatch* functions of the Store implementation and checking against an ignore list before calling super. Is this the recommended way?

marcglasberg commented 4 years ago

I never really had this problem of ignoring some actions. I guess you found a nice solution.

Just added your idea to AsyncRedux [version 2.12.0], and expanded it so that you can mock actions/reducers, not only disable them. Please have a look:
