Jest branch code coverage - problem with nullable values
At first glance problem looks really easy, but unfortunately I have a problem with covering test scenario when nullable getter is null. Considering the sample below:
@Component({
selector: 'sample-form-test',
templateUrl: './sample-form-test.component.html'
})
export class SampleFormTestComponent implements ngOnInit {
form?: FormGroup;
get name(): FormControl | null {
return this.form?.get('name') as FormControl;
}
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilderService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.form = this.formBuilder.build();
}
It is always underlined in a code coverage report that the question mark inside the getter above is not covered by the tests. Even if I try to cover it by checking directly whether is that getter null right after a component creation:
describe('create SampleFormTestComponent', () => {
let spectator = Spectator<SampleFormTestComponent>; // from @ngneat/Spectator
const createComponent = createComponentFactory({ // from @ngneat
component: SampleFormTestComponent,
providers: MockProvider(FormBuilderService, {
build: () => {
new FormGroup({name: new FormControl})
}
}
});
it('should create', () => {
spectator = createComponent();
expect(spectator).toBeTruthy();
expect(spectator.component.name).toBeNull();
});
}
It doesn't help at all and branch coverage is always lowered by that nullable getters. The worst scenario is when I have them multiple inside the class - in that scenario it is not possible to meet code coverage requirements. Do you know how can I easily solve that problem?
UPDATE
The easiest way is to initialize form in a constructor – it will allow to access the form properties (even if those are empty) without necessity to check if those values are null ot not.
@Component({
selector: 'sample-form-test',
templateUrl: './sample-form-test.component.html'
})
export class SampleFormTestComponent implements ngOnInit {
form: FormGroup;
get name(): FormControl {
return this.form.get('name') as FormControl;
}
constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilderService) {
this.form = this.formBuilder.build();
}
