Jest Helpers

Helper methods for Jest

In order to simplify the process even further we've created several Jest-based methods, which will help you to catch thrown errors and ensure your code works as intended.

shallPass(ix)

Ensure transaction did not throw and was sealed.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
ixInteractioninteraction, either in form of a Promise or function

Returns

TypeDescription
ResponseObjectTransaction result

Usage

import path from "path";
import {
  init,
  emulator,
  shallPass,
  sendTransaction,
  getAccountAddress,
} from "flow-js-testing";

// We need to set timeout for a higher number, because some transactions might take up some time
jest.setTimeout(10000);

describe("interactions - sendTransaction", () => {
  // Instantiate emulator and path to Cadence files
  beforeEach(async () => {
    const basePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./cadence");
    const port = 8080;
    await init(basePath, { port });
    return emulator.start(port);
  });

  // Stop emulator, so it could be restarted
  afterEach(async () => {
    return emulator.stop();
  });

  test("basic transaction", async () => {
    const code = `
      transaction(message: String){
        prepare(singer: AuthAccount){
          log(message)
        }
      }
    `;
    const Alice = await getAccountAddress("Alice");
    const signers = [Alice];
    const args = ["Hello, Cadence"];

    const [txResult, error] = await shallPass(
      sendTransaction({
        code,
        signers,
        args,
      }),
    );

    // Transaction result will hold status, events and error message
    console.log(txResult, error);
  });
});

shallRevert(ix)

Ensure interaction throws an error. Use this to test incorrect inputs. Returns Promise, which contains result, when resolved.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
ixInteractiontransaction, either in form of a Promise or function

Returns

TypeDescription
ResponseObjectTransaction result

Usage

import path from "path";
import {
  init,
  emulator,
  shallPass,
  sendTransaction,
  getAccountAddress,
} from "js-testing-framework";

// We need to set timeout for a higher number, cause some interactions might need more time
jest.setTimeout(10000);

describe("interactions - sendTransaction", () => {
  // Instantiate emulator and path to Cadence files
  beforeEach(async () => {
    const basePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./cadence");
    const port = 8080;
    await init(basePath, { port });
    return emulator.start(port);
  });

  // Stop emulator, so it could be restarted
  afterEach(async () => {
    return emulator.stop();
  });

  test("basic transaction", async () => {
    const code = `
      transaction(message: String){
        prepare(singer: AuthAccount){
          panic("You shall not pass!")
        }
      }
    `;
    const Alice = await getAccountAddress("Alice");
    const signers = [Alice];
    const args = ["Hello, Cadence"];

    const [txResult, error] = await shallRevert(
      sendTransaction({
        code,
        signers,
        args,
      }),
    );

    // Transaction result will hold status, events and error message
    console.log(txResult, error);
  });
});

shallResolve(ix)

Ensure interaction resolves without throwing errors.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
ixInteractioninteraction, either in form of a Promise or function

Returns

TypeDescription
ResponseObjectTransaction result

Usage

import path from "path";
import { init, emulator, shallPass, executeScript } from "js-testing-framework";

// We need to set timeout for a higher number, cause some interactions might need more time
jest.setTimeout(10000);

describe("interactions - sendTransaction", () => {
  // Instantiate emulator and path to Cadence files
  beforeEach(async () => {
    const basePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./cadence");
    const port = 8080;
    await init(basePath, { port });
    return emulator.start(port);
  });

  // Stop emulator, so it could be restarted
  afterEach(async () => {
    return emulator.stop();
  });

  test("basic script", async () => {
    const code = `
      pub fun main():Int{
        return 42
      }
    `;

    const [result, error] = await shallResolve(
      executeScript({
        code,
      }),
    );

    expect(result).toBe(42);
    expect(error).toBe(null);
  });
});
