I have an electron-vite-react application that has several IPC calls from browser to main process. I want to mock the behavior of these IPC calls when I’m writing e2e tests for the app using WebDriverIO framework with Mocha tests. I have tried several ways described in the docs, but could not get it worked. Can anybody explain how do I start with this?
For example, I have a function in my react part like this.
export const isConnectedToCloud = async () => {
const cloudUrl = await window.electronAPI.getCloudUrl()
console.log('cloudUrl', cloudUrl)
return cloudUrl !== '' ? true : false
}
It is called inside a useEffect of a Component to render different views based on the output. Now I want to mock that behavior in my test file which looks like this;
describe('Display Connect/Disconnect buttons', () => {
// Case 1: Cloud is connected
// TODO: Mock the isConnectedToCloud function to return true
it('should show Connect button', async () => {
// button is inside a div with id cloud-connect
const button = await $('div#cloud-connect button')
// button should be displayed
expect(button).toBeDisplayed()
// button should contain text 'Connect'
expect(button).toHaveText('Connect')
})
// Case 2: Cloud is disconnected
// TODO: Mock the isConnectedToCloud function to return false
it('should show Disconnect button', async () => {
// button is inside a div with id cloud-connect
const button = await $('div#cloud-connect button')
// button should be displayed
expect(button).toBeDisplayed()
// button should contain text 'Disconnect'
expect(button).toHaveText('Disconnect')
})
})
Appreciate the thoughts
