Unit testing staleTime - Jest

[bhagatali]

Does anyone have an elegant solution to testing out a component that uses staleTime as a prop? I want to run a test that asserts on isStale property in the query cache after the stipulated time provided.

My current approach is:

1. Mount a wrapper around my component using the ReactQueryCacheProvider. A prop called staleTime is passed in that configures the staleTime in the useQuery hook inside my component.
2. In my jest test, I use the getQuery to verify the isStale first. Expect it to be false.
3. Use a setTimeout to check isStale again after an interval of 2000 milliseconds. Use the jest.advanceTimersByTime to move the timer ahead. I expect the isStale value to be true. But it is still false.

What am I missing here?
