I have a React.createContext
and the context.provider
instance that I am using with my code and initially had them in the same file as it is always shown within demonstrations and the official docs.
I however, have decided to move the React.createContext()
into a different file alongside other exported functions that make use of it.
Since doing this, I have noticed that my tests are breaking around an area that has nothing to do with the files being tests/used...
I'm just wondering if there was an obvious reason why my context wouldn't work properly after I'd put them into separate files?
MyContext/index.js
export const MyContext = React.createContext({});
MyContext/MyProvider.js
return <MyContext.Provider value={{data: 'some-data'}}>
{children}
</MyContext.Provider>
MyContext/MyProvider.test.js
it('Should render child of provider', () => {
let component;
act(() => {
component = renderer.create(
<MyProvider>test test</MyProvider>
);
});
expect(component.toJSON()).toMatchSnapshot();
});
It looks like the main issue was that my context was within the main index.js
file that is exported...
Moving this code to another file helped everything work.
