Jest - Unexpected Token in renderer create

Hi Everyone!

Currently I’m trying to integrate the testing framework for ReactJS which is called as Jest. I built my OWA from OpenMRS OWA generator. I developed a component which shows the tabular representation of any given report.

import React from 'react';
import renderer from 'react-test-renderer';
import ReportAsTableView from '../../../components/reports/common/ReportAsTableView';

describe('ReportAsTableView renders correctly ', () => {
    it('renders correctly', () => {
        const params = {
            "startDate": "2017-05-05",
            "endDate": "2017-10-05"
        };

        const rendered = renderer.create(
                <ReportAsTableView reportUUID="e451ae04-4881-11e7-a919-92ebcb67fe33" 
                reportParameters= {params} />
        );
        expect(rendered.toJSON()).toMatchSnapShot();
    });
});

But when I try to run the tests, it fails giving the below error:

 PASS  app\js\sum.test.js
 FAIL  app\js\__tests__\reports\common\ReportAsTableView.test.js
  ● Test suite failed to run

    D:/OpenMRS/OWA/openmrs-owa-built-in-reports/app/js/__tests__/reports/common/ReportAsTableView.test.js: Unexpected token (14:16)

           |                 ^
        15 |                 reportParameters= {params} />
        16 |         );
        17 |         expect(rendered.toJSON()).toMatchSnapShot();

I assume that this is happening that my component jsx file is not compiled to pure JavaScript. I couldn’t find how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated. @raff

@judeniroshan Check this out, hope it helps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41725796/jest-test-suite-failed-to-run-syntaxerror-unexpected-token-import

@upendo I have added the following element to the package.json. But I still get the same error.

Note: The StackOverflow answer talks about a file called .babelrc I couldn’t find such file in OpenMRS ReactJS projects.

@jeiddiah @kingisaac95 @millicent Some help here please :slight_smile:

I found out that creating a new file in my root folder called ‘.babelrc’ was fixed the issue.

(I’m not sure whether this is okay according this OpenMRS OWA standards. @raff @dkayiwa)

Here is the answer:

@upendo @dkayiwa Thanks for trying to help me out! :slight_smile:

Thanks & Regards, Jude Niroshan

Thanks @dkayiwa. I haven’t used Jest for testing before. I currently use these tools: mocha, jasmine, chai, should for testing.

Awesome. ‘.babelrc’ is a configuration file and its also exists on the current OWA me and my team are working on.
