mock nodemailer.createTransport.sendMail with jest
I have some code which uses the nodemailer module.
In the router (router.js), I have
const transporter = nodeMailer.createTransport(emailArgs);
Then inside the route (/login) I have:
...
return transporter.sendMail(mailOptions);
I'm trying to test this route using the jest testing framework. I'm having some trouble mocking out the call to sendMail. I read this nice blogpost about how to use jest mocking, but I'm getting this error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'sendMail' of undefined
And indeed when I check the value of transporter it's undefined.
Here is my testing code (which doesn't work):
import request from "supertest";
import router from "./router";
jest.mock("nodemailer");
describe("", () => {
...
test("", async () => {
// 1 - 200 status code; 2 - check email was sent
expect.assertions(2);
const response = await request(router)
.post("/login")
// global variable
.send({ "email": email })
.set("Accept", "application/json")
.expect("Content-Type", /json/);
// should complete successfully
expect(response.status).toBe(200);
// TODO not sure how to express the expect statement here
});
});
So my question is how do I mock out a method of an instance of a class which is returned by a module?
