This PR consists of setting up GitHub Actions CI for Unit Testing (Jest) and E2E testing (Detox).
TL;DR
This was a pain to set up. So many errors, so little reliable documentations.
Why it's a pain:
To do component testing, the official React Native website recommends using either:
A quick look at these two options, it seems like
react-native-testing-library(RNTL) might be easier for us to set up and use.So what happens when you do
npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react-native?BOOM! You get an error saying there is a dependency conflict with React, React Native, and React Test Renderer.
The RNTL team anticipated this, and so they have a section specifically for this error (Note: it was not helpful, as it just points us to GitHub issues with dozens of suggested solutions with mixed of up and down votes. None of those worked for me.
In hindsight, I should've looked at the example repository earlier and explicitly install
react-test-rendererto be the same version as react (this was the key).Ended up needing to:
npm install --save-dev react-test-renderer@18.1.0(must be the same version as our react)npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react-native(now it magically works!)npm install --save-dev @testing-library/jest-native(recommended by RNTL)jest.config.tsaccording to this article (we for some reason still have to usejest-expoas our jest's preset. I honestly could not find any documentation on this whatsoever and I don't understand why we can't use, say,react-nativepreset)What I learned
The struggle did not go to waste, as I did learn a few things from this:
Which returns
npmPackages: @testing-library/react-native: ^12.0.0 => 12.0.0 react: 18.1.0 => 18.1.0 react-native: 0.70.5 => 0.70.5 react-test-renderer: 18.1.0 => 18.1.0How to setup E2E testing with detox locally:
