I have an httpService from nestjs/common
and I am using like the following:
const response = await this.httpService.post(`${this.api}/${action}`, data).toPromise();
and in my jest spec file ( unit testing) . i am trying to mock this service
httpServiceMock = {
post: jest.fn()
};
it('should start', async () => {
const serviceResult = await service.start(data);
});
and I have got this error :
TypeError: this.httpService.post(...).toPromise is not a function
I am also trying to add a promise result like :
const promise = Promise.resolve('result');
httpServiceMock.post.mockResolvedValue(promise);
tried also :
it('should start', async () => {
const mockObservable = Promise.resolve({
toPromise: () => {
console.log('toPromise called');
}
})
httpServiceMock.post.mockImplementation(() => mockObservable);
const serviceResult = await service.start();
});
My question is how can I mock the promise and return a response or exception
The return value httpService.post needs to return an Observable<AxiosResponse<T>> which includes a property toPromise, which is a function. Your mock returns a resolved promise, whereas it needs to return a fake Observable.
The Observable is returned immediately, so the post implementation can just return a raw value, but the toPromise needs to return a promise.
Return the correct shaped object to get rid of this error:
const mockObservable = {
toPromise: () => Promise.resolve('result')
}
httpServiceMock.post.mockImplementation(() => mockObservable);
