Common Issues
Here are some common issues you might run into when unit testing Vue.
I trigger events on components but the DOM isn't updating
Cause: Vue re-renders the DOM asynchronously, so you need to wait for this update explicitly. Before this could be done with a setting when mounting your Vue component in your tests via the
sync: true flag, but this was depcreated on November 28th, 2019, as per the changelog.1
it('render text', async () => {
2
const wrapper = mount(TestComponent)
3
4
wrapper.trigger('click')
5
await Vue.nextTick()
6
7
wrapper.text().toContain('some text')
8
9
wrapper.trigger('click')
10
await Vue.nextTick()
11
wrapper.text().toContain('some different text')
12
})
