Jest + 角度测试库：Mock TranslateService

Question

I'm trying to test a component using angular-testing-library and I can't figure out how to mock TranslateService from @ngx-translate

My stripped down component:

import { Component } from '@angular/core'
import { TranslateService } from '@ngx-translate/core'

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my',
  template: '<p data-testid="hello" translate="global.hello"></p>',
})
export class MyComponent {
  constructor(
    public translate: TranslateService
  ) {}
}

my test:

import { TranslateService } from '@ngx-translate/core'
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/angular'
import { MyComponent } from './my.component'

class TranslateServiceMock {}


describe('MyComponent', () => {

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await render(MyComponent, {
      componentProviders: [
        { provide: TranslateService, useClass: TranslateServiceMock },
      ],
    })
  })

  it('renders', async () => {
    expect(screen.getByTestId('hello')).toBeTruthy()
  })
})

getting this error:

(node:38520) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    --> starting at object with constructor 'Object'
    |     property 'element' -> object with constructor 'Object'

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)
(node:38520) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

and the tests hang.

Update

My jest.config.js :

var utils = require('ts-jest/utils')
var tsConfig = require('./tsconfig')

module.exports = {
  preset: 'jest-preset-angular',
  roots: ['<rootDir>/src/'],
  testMatch: ['**/+(*.)+(spec).+(ts)'],
  setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/src/test.ts'],
  collectCoverage: true,
  coverageReporters: ['html'],
  coverageDirectory: 'coverage/my-app',
  moduleNameMapper: utils.pathsToModuleNameMapper(
    tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths || {},
    {
      prefix: '<rootDir>/',
    }
  ),
}

package.json jest entry:

  "jest": {
    "preset": "jest-preset-angular"
  }

Answer 1

Solved, using ngx-translate-testing library. Like so:

import { TranslateService } from '@ngx-translate/core'
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/angular'
import { MyComponent } from './my.component'

class TranslateServiceMock {}

const translations = {
  en: {
    global: {
      submit: 'Submit'
    }
  }
}

describe('MyComponent', () => {

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await render(MyComponent, {
      componentProviders: [
        { provide: TranslateService, useClass: TranslateServiceMock },
      ],
      imports: [TranslateTestingModule.withTranslations(translations)],
    })
  })

  it('renders', async () => {
    expect(screen.getByTestId('hello')).toBeTruthy()
  })
})
