Configuration Options

Introduction

The library can be configured via the configure function, which accepts:

  • a plain JS object; this will be merged into the existing configuration. e.g. configure({asyncUtilTimeout: 800})
  • a function; the function will be given the existing configuration, and should return a plain JS object which will be merged as above, e.g. configure(existingConfig => ({something: [...existingConfig.something, 'extra value for the something array']}))

Options

showOriginalStackTrace

By default, waitFor will ensure that the stack trace for errors thrown by Testing Library is cleaned up and shortened so it's easier for you to identify the part of your code that resulted in the error (async stack traces are hard to debug). If you want to disable this, then setshowOriginalStackTrace to false. You can also disable this for a specific call in the options you pass to waitFor.

throwSuggestions (experimental)

When enabled, if better queries are available the test will fail and provide a suggested query to use instead. Default to false.

To disable a suggestion for a single query just add {suggest:false} as an option.

getByText('foo', {suggest: false}) // will not throw a suggestion

getInstanceError

A function that returns the error used when get or find queries fail. Takes the error message and TestInstance object as arguments.

asyncUtilTimeout

The global timeout value in milliseconds used by waitFor utilities. Defaults to 1000ms.

renderAwaitTime

By default, we wait for the CLI to spawn the command from render. If we immediately resolve the promise to allow users to query, however, we lose the ability to getByText immediately after rendering. This differs greatly from upstream Testing Library and makes for a poor testing experience.

As a result, we wait this duration before resolving the promise after the process is spawned. This gives runtimes like NodeJS time to spin up and execute commands.

Defaults to 100ms.
