How do I test a promise that rejects with an error? (that is the expected behaviour)
I can not figure out why this test is failing. I'm catching the error rejected, and the test still fails. From the example provided at https://www.sitepoint.com/promises-in-javascript-unit-tests-the-definitive-guide/ this should work, and can't figure out how it's supposed to really. Both console logs appear.
it('shows that even an error occurs the test passes', (done) => {
const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
console.log('error promise is called');
setTimeout(() => {
reject(new Error('dummy error thrown'));
}, 100);
})
promise.then(() => {});
promise.catch((e) => {
console.log('error caught');
done();
});
});
1) promise behaviour in tests (async) - base test cases shows that even an error occurs the test passes:
Uncaught Error: dummy error thrown
at Timeout.setTimeout [as _onTimeout] (test\promise-spec.js:24:17)
Tried like this, still fail
promise
.then(() => {})
.catch((e) => {
console.log('error caught');
done();
});
Turns out it was because of a previous test that didn't call done, and it throwing an error killed this one
