Testing Joyride using React-Testing-Library?

[astrosuf]

Thank you for this awesome library, I'm using react-joyride in a project of mine. We're unit-testing the application using RTL. I would like to introduce unit-tests to ensure that in a specific state the react-joyride popups are visible - however when I render the component with RTL I get an error:

Cannot read properties of null (reading 'isConnected')

digging a bit deeper into the error, it seems to be occurring inside react-floater.js in node_modules - the console also starts to print the lib file.

Question: Is there some specific setup that needs to happen to test Joyride with RTL?

hey @astrosuf

This library needs a browser environment to work properly, and I don't think the JSDOM environment inside jest will do.
Anyway, you will need to change jest's testEnvironment to dom and probably mock some functionality.

Anyway, react-floater uses RTL for its tests, so it does work.
