In this article, we’ll look at how to mock window.location.href with Jest and Vue.js.
How to mock window.location.href with Jest and Vue.js?
To mock window.location.href with Jest and Vue.js, we can mock the window.location property with our own values.
For instance, we write
global.window = Object.create(window);
const url = "https://example.com";
Object.defineProperty(window, "location", {
value: {
href: url,
},
});
expect(window.location.href).toEqual(url);
to call Object.defineProperty with window and 'location' and an object with the value.href property to set window.location.href‘s value to the url.
We make a copy of window and assign it to global.window with
global.window = Object.create(window)
Conclusion
To mock window.location.href with Jest and Vue.js, we can mock the window.location property with our own values.
