Jest Helpers

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​


_49
import path from "path"
_49
import {
_49
init,
_49
emulator,
_49
shallPass,
_49
sendTransaction,
_49
getAccountAddress,
_49
} from "@onflow/flow-js-testing"
_49
_49
// We need to set timeout for a higher number, because some transactions might take up some time
_49
jest.setTimeout(10000)
_49
_49
describe("interactions - sendTransaction", () => {
_49
// Instantiate emulator and path to Cadence files
_49
beforeEach(async () => {
_49
const basePath = path.resolve(__dirname, "./cadence")
_49
await init(basePath)
_49
return emulator.start()
_49
})
_49
_49
// Stop emulator, so it could be restarted
_49
afterEach(async () => {
_49
return emulator.stop()
_49
})
_49
_49
test("basic transaction", async () => {
_49
const code = `
_49
transaction(message: String){
_49
prepare(singer: AuthAccount){
_49
log(message)
_49
}
_49
}
_49
`
_49
const Alice = await getAccountAddress("Alice")
_49
const signers = [Alice]
_49
const args = ["Hello, Cadence"]

_49
sendTransaction({
_49
code,
_49
signers,

_49
)
_49
_49
// Transaction result will hold status, events and error message
_49
console.log(txResult, error)
_49
})
_49
})

shallRevert(ix, message)​

Ensure interaction throws an error. Can test for specific error messages or catch any error message if message is not provided. Returns Promise, which contains result, when resolved.

Arguments​

NameTypeDescription
ixInteractiontransaction, either in form of a Promise or function
message (optional)string or RegExpexpected error message provided as either a string equality or regular expression to match, matches any error by default
