react-testing-library - fireEvent.select() not working










3















I'm currently running some tests for a project I'm working on, and am having trouble using fireEvent.select() as a way to focus on an input field.



My test so far:



it('is not working :(', () => 
const input = queryByPlaceholderText('blah');

fireEvent.change(input,
target: value: 'some text',
);

expect(input).toHaveAttribute('value', 'some text');

fireEvent.select(input); <-- issue here
);


The component I am testing has a dropdown menu that is only exposed when the input is focused on, but it seems like neither fireEvent.change() nor fireEvent.select() are focusing on the field. I know that fireEvent.change() changes the input value.



So far, I have tried:




  • fireEvent.click()


  • fireEvent.focus()

  • fireEvent.select()

  • input.focus()

but none of those options worked.



I need to be able to select an option in this dropdown menu to be able to properly test the component.



TL;DR



Is there a way to focus on an input field with RTL?

  • Did you try using fireEvent.click() ?

  • Yes, that would have been good to mention. I'll add it to my original post. So far I have tried fireEvent.click(), input.focus(), and fireEvent.focus(), none of which have worked.

    Can you put a minimum reproducible example on codesandbox?

  • @Zach - did you get this to work? I'm struggling with a similar issue right now using React-Select.
