Change UI testing to use mocking instead of making API and system calls #104

Open cbiddle3 opened 7 months ago

Describe the solution you'd like UI testing currently makes API calls to GetHelp and uses real-system time. These should be mocked instead to avoid tests breaking.

Describe alternatives you've considered

MSW (mock service worker) for GetHelp API calls
Jest mocking feature to set the system time instead of using real-time.
Set up MSW for UI testing that involves the server.

Attempted to resolve this issue. No matter what I did (I tried every single available solution), could not get "Reference Error: TextEncoder is not defined" to go away, therefore I couldn't run anything involving the server. I was trying to set this up for Shifts.js class (to mock the server calls).
