Injecting the store for unit-tests: 'store' is undefined

[DorianGrey]

Hi there,

I've recently played a bit with stenciljs and tried to integrate redux using this connector.
While everything works (approx.) fine for development und production build, I've faced some problems when trying to unit test components that have the Store as a Prop trying to connect to it.

A simple example is the my-app component, which attempts to set up the store: https://github.com/DorianGrey/stencil-playground/blob/master/src/components/my-app/my-app.tsx

When executing the unit test (see https://github.com/DorianGrey/stencil-playground/blob/master/src/components/my-app/my-app.spec.ts) for it, this raises an error like this:

 FAIL  src/components/my-app/my-app.spec.ts
  ● Console

    console.error node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:7268
      Error: Cannot read property 'setStore' of undefined
      TypeError: Cannot read property 'setStore' of undefined
          at MyApp.Object.<anonymous>.MyApp.componentWillLoad (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/src/components/my-app/my-app.tsx:14:20)
          at update (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:896:48)
          at plt.queue.tick (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:854:34)
          at flush (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:445:33)
          at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:131:7)
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:180:9)
          at TestWindow.<anonymous> (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:9525:27)
          at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
          at fulfilled (/home/linne/Projects/stencil-playground/node_modules/@stencil/core/dist/testing/index.js:9461:58)
          at <anonymous>
          at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

This is obviously raised from the componentWillLoad look that attempts to configure the store. I'm not sure why this happens, since everything works fine in the other modes. I might need to somehow inject the store as a property in another way, but I did not find any clue how, especially since this needs to happen before componentWillLoad is called.

The repo can be found here:
https://github.com/DorianGrey/stencil-playground

Steps to reproduce

• Clone the repository above
• yarn for installing dependencies
• yarn test will raise errors like mentioned above.

Further notes

• An additional error will raise, complaining about TypeError: Cannot read property 'queue' of undefined. This seems to be raised when calling flush in the unit tests, and no longer occurs when adding a workaround for the store-stuff.
• The "workaround" would be to prevent any calls to or on the store variable in case it is not defined, but that's somewhat unlikely, esp. when attempting to test a component under more realistic circumstances.
• I've tried to get additional hints from the stencil-redux-demo, but its tests are raising the same problem (at least after fixing the wrong imports...).
• €dit: I've tried to adjust the Context object manually as well, however it seems to be absent during the tests.

Might be a stencil issue, not sure. Leaving open as I don't have a solution but would like others to chim in

Any updates?
I'm also facing the same issue for the latest version.

 "@stencil/core": "^1.1.2",
 "@stencil/redux": "^0.1.1",
 "@stencil/router": "^1.0.1",

This worked for me:

add import '@stencil/redux'; to your root app.tsx file.

PR to add into the docs: #45

@DorianGrey Anyone found a solution to this? @mlynch I'm still not really sure the official replacement for @Prop({ context: 'store' }) store: Store; has been published in the Stencil docs? That might at least provide a starting point for finding a solution?

@DorianGrey @joewoodhouse @mlynch @boradakash
After facing this store mocking issue for past few days finally found something to inject mock store into components during unit tests.
With the new Stencil testing utility newSpecPage() (instead of using old TestWindow()) you can pass an optional, undocumented (and deprecated) argument "context" with mock store in it.
This way the component receives the mock store before componentWillLoad is executed.

    const page = await newSpecPage({
            components: [MyApp],
            html: "<my-app></my-app>",
            context: {
                    store: mockStore,
            },
    });
    await page.waitForChanges();
    page.flushQueue();
