How to unit test permissions in a React Admin controller?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm using react-admin and I have a list component that has some conditional display behavior based on permissions.



I'd like to write a simple Jest test that asserts the correct behavior (display the Edit button if admin, hide the Edit button if not admin), but I need to feed some mock records into my list component. How do I pass mock data to my list component?

    Actually, it's a really good question. I opened a PR aiming to improving the documentation: github.com/marmelab/react-admin/pull/2728 Let me know if it's clear to you!

There is (now) a dedicated paragraph on the documentation about testing permissions-based view: https://marmelab.com/react-admin/UnitTesting.html#testing-permissions



I also wrote an example of unit test available on the code base: UnitShow.spec.js



 it('should show the user role in the second tab', () => {
const wrapper = shallow(<UserShow permissions="admin" />);

const tabs = wrapper.find(Tab);
const fields = tabs.at(1).find(TextField);

expect(fields.at(0).prop('source')).toBe('role');
});
