Clearly rendering a node. It's not picking it up..?

            grocery={this.state.groceries[index]}

[ljharb]

Which line does the error come from?

[lelandrichardson]

@cameronroe try outputting component.debug() to the console and see if that gives you any clues. From the context you've given us here, I can't see any reason why it would be failing.

[ninjasort]

Looks like my project was reactjs_koans had duplicate folders and I was editing in the wrong one. No problems. Apologies for that.

[ccorcos]

I still have no idea whats going on here:

[aweary]

@ccorcos can you share your test case that's throwing this error?

[ccorcos]

figured it out:

    counter.findWhere(node => node.innerText === '+').simulate('click')

we're not in HTML land. I'm just geting the hang of enzyme.

[emragins]

I get this error with the following in my test, and no header in my component

enzymeWrapper.find('header').hasClass('myClass')

The error happens because no header is found, so hasClass() blows up. I would really appreciate a more meaningful error message that doesn't force me to google it to figure out what the heck it's talking about. That said, now that I understand it, I can understand why this would be difficult to do.......

A start might be instead of "this method" give the name of the method. ie. "'hasClass' is only meant..."

For an uninitiated this would keep from thinking that the it's an internal problem -- my original thought was "oh no... just my luck. Something's going on and one of the internal rendering nodes (processes) can't start up and I have no idea how to debug this".

Another thought is to have find() error if the element(s) can't be found. Since that would break the existing API, and make it so that negative tests would fail, maybe a second parameter of .find(expression, throwOnNotFound) ?

Just throwing out ideas here for discussion.

[ljharb]

@emragins is the message "0 found instead" not clear that no header is found?

[emragins]

It is once I understand the context in which the error is being thrown. I feel like it would be more intuitive if the message were changed to help me find that context by adding the function call in question.

As indicated, I'm very very new to enzyme and my initial reaction to the message was way off-base. I guess my feeling is that with it being a developer tool, any "leg up" to help the developer diagnose the issue is a good thing.

[ljharb]

I definitely agree it'd be a great improvement for the error message to contain the method that threw.

[ljharb]

@emragins I've added that extra info in 857760c, and it will be included in the next release. Thanks for the suggestion!

[marcfielding1]

erm what happened to this, I have the same error and it still appears vague?

[ljharb]

@jpmelnik @marcfielding1 would you both mind filing separate issues for your problem?

[marcfielding1]

Yeah sure, actually it's my own fault for being an idiot, I'd refactored some code to the wrapper pattern and was still using shallow().

To be fair I'm not sure what you guys could do about this, the error is actually correct, the problem is if you look at wrapper.html() it actually returns the component it's supposed to - but obviously if I shallow() and then try and work with the values from the sub component it blurts out the error.

I think it's maybe a case of updating the docs to reflect this rather than a bug as such?

Sorry if my comment yesterday was a bit terse I'd been rather rushing around all day :-)

[BennyHinrichs]

I'm getting this same problem. I'm trying to test the onDateChange prop of the react-dates SingleDatePicker, and it thinks I have 0 nodes. Here's an excerpt of my component file:

export default class ExpenseForm extends React.Component {

    onDateChange = (createdAt) => {
        if (createdAt){
            this.setState(() => ({ createdAt }));
        }
    };

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <SingleDatePicker 
                    date={this.state.createdAt}
                    onDateChange={this.onDateChange}
                    focused={this.state.calendarFocused}
                    onFocusChange={this.onFocusChange}
                />
            </div>
        )
    }
}

And here's the test:

test('test should set new date on date change', () => {
    const now = moment();
    const wrapper = shallow(<ExpenseForm />);
    wrapper.find('SingleDatePicker').prop('onDateChange')(now);
    expect(wrapper.state('createdAt')).toEqual(now);
});

As the issue title states, it gives me the message, "Method “props” is only meant to be run on a single node. 0 found instead." I feel like I'm following the suggestion you made in Issue #1066, but it's still not working.

Edit: After more testing, this seems to be an issue specific to react-dates. react-dates has three components, DateRangePicker, SingleDatePicker, DayPickerRangeController, and Enzyme doesn't register any of them as nodes. I have no idea what could be behind this issue.

[ljharb]

@BennyHinrichs finding with a string is very brittle; in this case, while SingleDatePicker is the identifier you use to import the component, it's not actually the component's display name. Try finding with a reference instead.

[hunterpickett]

@BennyHinrichs @ljharb

I wasn't sure what you meant by trying to find with a reference instead but after a lot of trial and error / googling around I found out that I could select the element using

  const SDP = wrapper.find('withStyles(SingleDatePicker)');

I found the actual display name by digging through the React Chrome extension and finding out it's exact name.

Though this doesn't seem like a good solution. Have you found a better one?

[revik]

@BennyHinrichs @sanyangkkun - I believe what @ljharb meant is that instead of using the form -
wrapper.find('SingleDatePicker')
you should remove the quotes (string) and use the component class reference, like so -
wrapper.find(SingleDatePicker);

[romankua]

Just to add to @revik . SingleDatePicker should be imported as well.

import { SingleDatePicker } from 'react-dates';
//...
wrapper.find(SingleDatePicker);

[chisom5]

please, i am having the same issue, do i need to setup anything before being able to use the simulate method?

[chisom5]

here is my test case :

it("it should call the handleAnswer method correctly", () => {
const handleAnswer = jest.fn();
const wrapper = shallow();
wrapper.find(".badge").simulate("click");
expect(handleAnswer).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

[chisom5]

and here is the error from the terminal:
Method “simulate” is meant to be run on 1 node. 0 found instead.

  21 |     const wrapper = shallow(<Badges />);
  22 | 
> 23 |     wrapper.find("badge").simulate("click");

  24 |     expect(handleAnswer).toHaveBeenCalled();
  25 |   });
  26 | });

[dori871992]

@chisom5 "badge" should be an inner element (or component) inside your Badge component, error indicates that it is not finding the element correctly in order to simulate a click on it

[chisom5]

Thanks @dori871992 will check that out

[dobal19]

i am also getting the same problem
test('Change the month to the next month when right icon is clicked on the calendar', () =>{ 83 | wrapper = shallow(<Month month='11' year='2019' />); > 84 | wrapper.find('VS-PullRight VS-Icon').simulate('click'); | ^ 85 | let name = wrapper.find('VS-MonthName').text(); 86 | console.log(name, "month"); 87 | expect(name).toEqual("DECEMBER 2019");
please help

and i am getting the error is
Method “simulate” is meant to be run on 1 node. 0 found instead.

[simoneas02]

I got the same error Method “props” is meant to be run on 1 node. 0 found instead. and I solved it using withStyles

it("should handle date changes", () => {
    const startDate = moment(0).add(4, "years");
    const endDate = moment(0).add(8, "years");

    wrapper.find("withStyles(DateRangePicker)").prop("onDatesChange")({ startDate, endDate });

    expect(setStartDateSpy).toHaveBeenLastCalledWith(startDate);
    expect(setEndDateSpy).toHaveBeenLastCalledWith(endDate);
  });

[ljharb]

@simoneas02 alternatively/better, you could wrapper.find(DateRangePicker) (importing DateRangePicker from react-dates) and do the same.

@Mercy-1998 use the wrappingComponent option to pass Provider - then, what's redirect.debug()?

@Mercy-1998 again, change your code so you're passing the Provider via the wrappingComponent option, and then provide the output of wrapper.debug().

yes done @ljharb

is this right for 'redirect' tag?

[Mercy-1998]

I got it
by rewriting expect(wrapper.find('Redirect').at(0).props()).toHaveProperty('to', '/sign-up') as expect(wrapper.exists('SignIn')).toBe(true)

[keithblanchard]

I started getting this error after I updated react-redux from ^5.0.7 to ^7.2.2. I needed to upgrade so that I could use the functions useSelector, and useDispatch. Does anyone know how this could be related to the version of the library?

[AlbogastAman]

Any solution for this? Am stuck here too,,wrapper.html() has content but wrapper.find() cant find any elements

[ljharb]

@AlbogastAman try .debug() - .html calls cheerio via render, which won’t give you an accurate picture.

[AlbogastAman]

Thanks for the response @Ijharb,i have tried .debug() but i cant figure out the problem out of .debug() <Connect(ConnectedRouterWithContext) history={{...}}> <Login location={{...}} /> </Connect(ConnectedRouterWithContext)>

[ljharb]

Looks like you need at least one .dive() - you need one per HOC.

[BaldeMountaga]

Good morning everyone I am using jest and enzyme to check the Sign in with exist but I am getting error saying that "Method “text” is meant to be run on 1 node. 0 found instead."

Please I need your helps thank you in advance

describe("Login Page", () => {

it('should render login title', () => {
  const wrapper = shallow (<Login/>);
  const span = wrapper.find('.span.login100-form-title p-b-53');
  const result = span.text();

  expect(result).toBe('Sign In With');
})

}

[BaldeMountaga]

Note you can omit the image where the describe() method is

[ljharb]

Span is a tag name, not a class; remove the leading dot.

[BaldeMountaga]

Thanks I removed it and put the dot infront and added the class name but still I am having the same error

[BaldeMountaga]

[ljharb]

You have a space there and “p-b-53” which isn’t a valid tag name. Perhaps that space is meant to be a dot also?

[BaldeMountaga]

even after removing p-b-53 that is bootstrap part I am still having this " Method “text” is meant to be run on 1 node. 0 found instead."
I am testing a class component is this because I am using a class components?

[ljharb]

No, I’m sure it’s another typo. Can you please file a new issue with full component and test code?
