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
_49
const [txResult, error] = await shallPass(
_49
sendTransaction({
_49
code,
_49
signers,
_49
args,
_49
})
_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

Returns
