Using Jest mock timers and waitFor together causes tests to timeout

[dcalhoun]

Describe the bug

Related to #391. Using jest.useFakeTimers() in combination with waitFor, causes the tests using waitFor to fail due to timeout error:

Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within the 5000 ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout.Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within the 5000 ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout.

Relying upon jest.useFakeTimers("modern") instead causes the above failure for all tests if the file merely imports waitFor at all, regardless if the given test uses waitFor or not.

Expected behavior

All tests in the reproduction test case should pass.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the reproduction test case.
2. yarn install
3. yarn test

Not sure if I understood your issues correctly. AFAIK when using fake timers you should not use call waitFor with await.

Please compare how were are using fake timers with waitFor in our own test suit.

It seems that just this change (await waitFor(() => { -> waitFor(() => {) fixes your legacy-timers.test.js.

Not sure how to fix your failing tests using modern timers.

[dcalhoun]

@mdjastrzebski thank you for the response. What you said about not awaiting the return of waitFor when using fake timers makes sense. I now understand the following statement from the waitFor documentation.

If you're using Jest's Timer Mocks, remember not to use async/await syntax as it will stall your tests.

The phrasing of that always confused me, but I now understand. I'll likely open a PR to improve that piece of documentation.

That said, it is still confusing as to why modern timers causes all of the tests to fail in my test case. I'd appreciate any guidance you are able to provide on that issue. Thanks!

[mdjastrzebski]

@thymikee maybe you can with modern times here.

[thymikee]

Running jest.runOnlyPendingTimers() or jest.runAllTimers() doesn't help? waitFor relies on setTimeout internally, so that may be a thing

[dcalhoun]

@thymikee no, running jest.runOnlyPendingTimers() or jest.runAllTimers() does not appear to fix the issue. I could understand if waitFor and timer mocks were fundamentally incompatible, but I wanted to seek out if that is the case. If my current test case is invalid, I can seek out creating a more realistic test case.

That said, it is curious that "legacy" timers can work, but "modern" timers do not. It is particularly odd that enabling "modern" timers will break a test file if you merely import waitFor. One does not even need to invoke waitFor for tests in the given file to fail. Do you know why that would be the case?

Is it possible to use "modern" timers and waitFor together?

[thymikee]

Not really sure where the incompatibility comes from. We already had fixed some issues around this topic here: #397, please take a look. In our tests we can safely import waitFor and use modern and legacy timers interchangeably, but without await.

[dcalhoun]

@thymikee yes, I had reviewed #397 as well in hopes of finding an answer. To reduce the number of variables, I copied the provided tests from RNTL into my test case repository. The new branch (add-rntl-tests) still experiences the below failures. So, I'm thinking something must be a difference in the configuration or package versions?

[dcalhoun]

@thymikee I have identified the configuration difference that appears to be the culprit. The RNTL repository babel.config.js does not include module:metro-react-native-babel-preset. My test case babel.config.js does include module:metro-react-native-babel-preset.

The inclusion of module:metro-react-native-babel-preset is a part of the default React Native template. Adding module:metro-react-native-babel-preset to the RNTL repository causes the tests to begin to fail as I have outlined in my original post.

At this point, I'm not sure if this is a RNTL issue, Jest issue, or a React Native issue. Do you know why module:metro-react-native-babel-preset is not a part of the RNTL repository? Any ideas as to why its inclusion would cause this issue with combining "modern" mock timers and waitFor?

Thanks!

[thymikee]

We don't use Metro babel preset, because we're a Node.js library, not a JSC/Hermes app. You'd need to check on the compiled output to see what's the difference in waitFor. I have no immediate idea what might causing that. Maybe async/await is transpiled by Metro? Or they use custom promise implementation?

[dcalhoun]

@thymikee makes sense. However, given that this library is intended to be used with a JSC/Hermes app, I would think testing in that environment would be ideal for this library.

I'll try to research further. I'm not sure how I'd go about comparing the compiled output Jest holds in-memory. If you have any guidance on that, it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

[thymikee]

jest --showConfig

Then find "cacheDirectory" and you'll see the transformed output.

given that this library is intended to be used with a JSC/Hermes app, I would think testing in that environment would be ideal for this library

We may adjust our Babel config for testing to reflect that, PRs welcome :)

[dcalhoun]

@thymikee I ran the waitFor tests within this repo with and without module:metro-react-native-babel-preset, but I'm not going to pretend to understand what the issue might be in the diff. 🙃 I am definitely not intimately familiar with Babel and how it works. Any assistance you are wiling to provide is appreciated.

It appears that when using module:metro-react-native-babel-preset regenerator is used to manage the async work. So, maybe the issue resides in its usage?

Without module:metro-react-native-babel-preset (Passes)

Just hit this problem now as I was migrating our app to RN 0.63. I had a look at how other testing-librarys solve it and it seems like they check if jest fake timers are set and run different logic here, while also capturing the global timer functions before they are overridden and then use these in their waitFor implementation.

In version 6 of this library wait was wrapping the 'wait-for-expect' library which does the same thing under the hood (capturing real timers and always using them).

Not sure if this is a known and intended consequence of the deprecation of the previous repo and whatever rewriting took place, but it would be SUPER good to have it in this repo so we don't have to change tonnes of code. However, primarily I think it is unreasonable that using timer mocks in our test would affect the test library code and so I would strongly request that this library ensures it is unaffected by any user-land settings.

If the maintainers agree with this direction but don't have the time to do this any time soon then I can take over the implementation. Please let me know.

Would love to merge a PR fixing that for good 👍
