Mock axios with axios-mock-adapter get undefined resp


I created an axios instance ...

// api/index.js

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: '/api/',
  timeout: 2500,
  headers: { Accept: 'application/json' },
});
export default api;

And severals modules use it ..

// api/versions.js

import api from './api';

export function getVersions() {
  return api.get('/versions');
}

I try to test like ..

// Test
import { getVersions } from './api/versions';

const versions= [{ id: 1, desc: 'v1' }, { id: 2, desc: 'v2' }];
mockAdapter.onGet('/versions').reply(200, versions);

getVersions.then((resp) => { // resp is UNDEFINED?
  expect(resp.data).toEqual(versions);
  done();
});

Why resp is undefined?


Solution

  • You don't need axios-mock-adapter. Here is how I mock my axios:

    // src/__mocks__/axios.ts
    
    const mockAxios = jest.genMockFromModule('axios')
    
    // this is the key to fix the axios.create() undefined error!
    mockAxios.create = jest.fn(() => mockAxios)
    
    export default mockAxios
