Vue Component Unit Testing - unit-testing

Question

I have a counter component - pretty straight forward.
<div> + </div>
<input type="text" v-model="countData" />
<div> - </div>
Detailed code is here - https://github.com/Shreerang/Vue-Nuggets/blob/master/src/components/QuantitySelector/QuantitySelector.vue
I am trying to unit test this component.
it('Renders a default quantity selector with the max count set to 6', () => {
const wrapper = shallowMount(QuantitySelector);
wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').setValue('1');
expect(wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').element.value).toBe('1'); // notice here that the value is a String, whereas I expect it to be a Number
wrapper.findAll('div').at(2).trigger('click');
expect(wrapper.vm.countData).toBe('2'); // This fails as countData becomes "11" instead of doing a 1 + 1 = 2 and then becoming Number 2.
expect(wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').element.value).toBe(2); // You can notice the same thing as above.
wrapper.find('input[type="text"]').setValue(wrapper.vm.countData); // Do I have to do this? This does not seem right to me :frowning:
});
I am not able to get this unit test to work! Any help with this is appreciated!

Text fields contain text values. Note that you even specified a text value: setValue('1'). If you change the value in the input manually, (say, to 3) and press the increment button, it becomes 31. Your test is telling you the truth.
You need to change your functions to convert to number. [Update] As your comment informed me, Vue has a .number modifier for v-model for this very purpose
new Vue({
el: '#app',
name: 'quantity-selector',
props: {
count: {
type: Number,
default: 1,
}, // Makes sense to have default product count value
maxCount: {
type: Number,
default: 6,
}, // maxCount makes sense when you have a restriction on the max quantity for a product
iconDimensions: {
type: Number,
default: 15,
},
minusIconFillColor: {
type: String,
default: '#000',
},
plusIconFillColor: {
type: String,
default: '#000',
},
isCountEditable: {
type: Boolean,
default: true,
},
},
data() {
return {
countData: this.count,
};
},
computed: {
minusIconColor: function() {
return this.countData === this.count ? '#CCC' : this.minusIconFillColor;
},
plusIconColor: function() {
return this.countData === this.maxCount ? '#CCC' : this.plusIconFillColor;
},
},
methods: {
decrement: function() {
if (this.countData > this.count) {
this.countData -= 1;
}
},
increment: function() {
if (this.countData < this.maxCount) {
this.countData += 1;
}
},
adjustCount: function() {
if (this.countData > this.maxCount) {
this.countData = this.maxCount;
} else if (this.countData < this.count) {
this.countData = this.count;
} else {
if (isNaN(Number(this.countData))) {
this.countData = this.count;
}
}
},
}
});
