Cannot read property 'default' of undefined while testing application with jest

I am not able to test my component that uses native-base Icon. It is throwing Cannot read property 'default' of undefined.

The above error occurred in the <Icon> component:
  in Icon (at IconNB.js:80)
  in IconNB (at connectStyle.js:384)
  in Styled(IconNB) (at Icon/index.js:67)
  in Icon (at connectStyle.js:384)
  in Styled(Icon) (at testingDummy.js:10)
  in View (created by Component)
  in Component (at testingDummy.js:9)
  in TestSum (at testingComp.test.js:9)

I have set up a react-native project and trying to test the components using jest. I have used react native default components and components from native-base.

If i am including components from react-native only jest is able to render it properly while if i include some component from native-base it's throwing error from script_transformer.

I was able to solve it by using transform and transformIgnorePatterns. But Issue is still there with react-vector-icon that is being used by native-base.

Here is package .json

Here is test file 

import React from 'react';
import 'react-native';
import TestComp from '../testingDummy';

import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';

it('renders correctly', () => {
  const tree = renderer.create(<TestComp />).toJSON();
  expect(tree).toMatchSnapshot();
});

here is the view 

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native'
import { Text, Icon } from 'native-base'

class TestSum extends Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Icon name="rupee" type="FontAwesome" style={{ color: '#000' }} />
        <Text>this is test</Text> 
      </View>
    );
  }
}

export default TestSum;
Solution

  • Had the same error when used with react-test-renderer :

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'default' of undefined

    To fix it, I mocked native-base's Icon component in my jest's setup file:

    import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import * as nativeBase from 'native-base';
function MockIcon(props) { return <View {...props} />; }
nativeBase.Icon = MockIcon;
