To simulate navigator.geolocation
in a React Jest test, you can use the mockImplementation
method of navigator.geolocation
to simulate the location data.
First, create a mock implementation of the getCurrentPosition
method of navigator.geolocation
by defining an object with a getCurrentPosition
property, which is a function that takes a success callback and returns the result.
navigator.geolocation = {
getCurrentPosition: jest.fn()
.mockImplementation((success) => {
const position = {
coords: {
latitude: 37.7749,
longitude: -122.4194
}
}
success(position);
})
};
Next, in your test, you can access the current position using the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
function.
test('should display current location', async () => {
const { getByTestId } = render(<MyComponent />);
const locationElement = getByTestId('location');
expect(locationElement).toBeInTheDocument();
// Wait for geolocation to be called and resolved
await waitFor(() => expect(navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition).toHaveBeenCalled());
// Assert that the location element displays the expected coordinates
expect(locationElement).toHaveTextContent('37.7749, -122.4194');
});
In this example, MyComponent
gets rendered, and we wait for the call to navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
to complete. Finally, we check that the location element displays the expected coordinates.
