_userEvent.default.setup is not a function #839

Tommoore96 · 2022-01-20T13:35:57Z

@testing-library/user-event version: ^14.0.0-beta
DOM Environment: 8.11.1
Node version: 14.17.4

Relevant code or config

const user = userEvent.setup()

What you did:
Tests worked perfectly before updating, I just wanted the latest version for the pointer method.

Followed the latest documentation and tried multiple versions 14 and above.

Imported like so:

import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

and initialised like so:

const user = userEvent.setup()

What happened:
Tests failed and receive following error:
TypeError: _userEvent.default.setup is not a function

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

ph-fritsche · 2022-01-23T19:42:31Z

_userEvent.default.setup suggests that the import statement is transpiled before being executed.

Could you please provide a reproduction?

bijay-ps · 2022-02-09T17:07:26Z

I am also facing the same issue.
Here is what I did:

import userEvent from "@testing-library/user-event";

test("Should be able to type an email", () => { const user = userEvent.setup(); render(<App/>) const emailInputElement = screen.getByRole("textbox", { name: /email/i}) user.type(emailInputElement, "test@test.com"); expect(emailInputElement.value).toBe("test@test.com"); })

Output:
TypeError: _userEvent.default.setup is not a function

This is my jest and RTL versions:
"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^5.16.2",
"@testing-library/react": "^12.1.2",
"@testing-library/user-event": "^13.5.0",

ph-fritsche · 2022-02-10T11:26:17Z

@bijay-ps userEvent.setup() was introduced in v14.

nickmccurdy · 2022-02-16T05:33:41Z

What build tools are you using (it would help to see your configs as well)?

mattxyzeth · 2022-02-27T19:59:28Z

The same thing happened to me. I'm using typescript with jest Node 16 lts.

import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'

const user = userEvent.setup()

error: TypeError: userEvent.setup is not a function

If I run console.log(userEvent) I get { PointerEventsCheckLevel: [Getter], default: [Getter] }

I can access the methods if I access them through default but typescript thinks userEvent is already the default. Very weird.

mattxyzeth · 2022-02-28T16:19:47Z

Strangely enough, this issue is not present on my private CI runner I'm running on EC2. So it seems to be related to my local environment. I'm using .nvmrc so my node install should be the same. I'm not using different build/test tooling in the CI so I'm not sure what is different.

ph-fritsche · 2022-03-01T12:29:57Z

The import works just fine in node locally and on Stackblitz:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/node-ndptdu?file=index.mjs

@mattxyzeth Could you check if this works in both of your environments outside of the test runner?
We need to make sure this is not a misconfiguration of the transpiler.

Also please have a look at this: #757 (comment)

mattxyzeth · 2022-03-01T14:02:53Z

I'll try to test this out soon. Just a quick note, the stackblitz you posted isn't using typescript. My problem is definitely a configuration issue but I can't seem to figure out what is configured wrong. No matter what I try my import is always coming from the .cjs file. Even though I've explicitly declared my project as a module and have all the configuration in jest and TS to compile as a module. I'm not convinced this is a testing-library issue but you guys should definitely know about it.

timdeschryver · 2022-03-17T13:01:00Z

Could you create a reproduction please?
FWIW, the latest version (previous version too) seems to be working in combination with TypeScript in the Angular Testing Library - testing-library/angular-testing-library#283

mattxyzeth · 2022-03-17T15:34:32Z

I’ll be busy for a while working on a big release coming up in the next couple of months. I will be happy to help in June. Sorry for not being available sooner.

import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'; imports the default export of user-event as userEvent. However, that package has no default export. Only named exports. What you probably want is

-import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';
+import * userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

ph-fritsche · 2022-03-18T09:32:47Z

This is the ESM export by esbuild:
https://unpkg.com/browse/@testing-library/user-event@14.0.0-beta.13/dist/index.mjs

2966 | var userEvent = __spreadProps(__spreadValues({}, directApi_exports), {
2967 |   setup: setupMain
2968 | });
2969 | export {
2970 |   PointerEventsCheckLevel,
2971 |   userEvent as default
2972 | };

eps1lon · 2022-03-18T12:53:10Z

Oh we're talking about the beta. The latest stable didn't have a ESM entrypoint specified in the package.json so I was confused.

Can't say why this is happening in the beta without a repro.

jahumes · 2022-03-25T19:34:30Z

Could this be related to jestjs/jest#12120? I am running typescript and ts-jest and the import is index.cjs?

capndave · 2022-04-05T21:26:12Z

Same issue, but with any of the userEvent methods

Any update on this?

strmer15 · 2022-04-12T22:35:11Z

This happened to me today with @testing-library/user-event 14.1.0 with Typescript 4.6.3, Jest 27.5.1 and TS Jest 27.1.4 (latest version of each).

What I found was that this happened in my project because the files in the dist folder of the package are produced with .cjs and .mjs extensions. When I renamed them to use .js, moved the ESM entry point into a separate esm directory, and then updated the package.json paths, everything worked again for me.

JimLin94 · 2022-04-22T10:19:19Z

I came across the same issue too.
The temporary solution for me is I added the support type cjs to the transform configs of Jest in the package.json

jest: {
  ...,
  "transform": {
-   "^.+\\.(js|jsx)$": "babel-jest",
+   "^.+\\.(js|jsx|cjs)$": "babel-jest",

}

DominicTylor · 2022-05-06T10:08:16Z

For me works after add:

transformIgnorePatterns: [

Slightly more edge case example. Using the UserEvent library in a bit.dev component had the same issue. I followed the steps above but what actually worked was moving the index.cjs file out of the dist to the same level as the package.json file and renaming it to index.js.

Also experiencing the same issue (just tried to update to latest), reverting to v13 for the moment until it's solved.

It seems that the current export - although it shouldn't - does still cause problems in some environments.

I had the same error.

@testing-library/user-event version 14.3

Tried this test just to get it up and running:

test('inputing username updates state', () => {
        const user = userEvent.setup()
        render(<Login />);
        
        user.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText(/username/i),

        expect(screen.getByDisplayValue(/Text/)).
        toBeInTheDocument()

My error:

melan0802 · 2022-07-27T03:34:24Z

I got same problem, here is my situation:

typeof userEvent = string; userEvent = index.cjs;
In jest.config.transform I got "^(?!.*\\.(js|jsx|css|json)$)": "<rootDir>/config/jest/fileTransform.js"
fileTransform.js:

'use strict';

const path = require('path');

// This is a custom Jest transformer turning file imports into filenames.
// http://facebook.github.io/jest/docs/en/webpack.html

module.exports = {
  process(src, filename) {
    return `module.exports = ${JSON.stringify(path.basename(filename))};`;
  },
};

It's clearly .cjs/.mjs file was trasformed to it's filename, so I fix this by adding mjs and cjs into "^(?!.*\\.(mjs|cjs|js|jsx|css|json)$)".

Maybe most problems which package is index.js were caused by jest.config.transform.

The test currently fails due to a bug in react testing libarary (testing-library/user-event#839). Once this is resolved the test can be activated and should work

edmundsj · 2022-10-05T21:12:48Z

I am encountering the same exact issue on 14.4.3.

I am trying to install user-event using the install instructions available here and then call userEvent.setup() per the instructions here.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use create-react-app to make a new project: npx create-react-app .
Install user-event, react testing library and testing library DOM: npm install --save-dev @testing-library/react @testing-library/dom @testing-library/user-event
Attempt to import userEvent: import {userEvent} from '@testing-library/user-event';
Run the test and get the following error:

Cannot read property 'setup' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot read property 'setup' of undefined

Expected behavior

I expect, on installing @testing-library/user-event to be able to import userEvent and have it be defined. It is not.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
My full test file:

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import App from './App';
import {userEvent} from '@testing-library/user-event';

test('renders learn react link', () => {
  const user = userEvent.setup()
  render(<App />);
  const linkElement = screen.getByText(/learn react/i);
  expect(linkElement).toBeInTheDocument();
});

Default App.js:

import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';


function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <header className="App-header">
        <img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
        <p>
          Edit <code>src/App.js</code> and save to reload.
        </p>
        <a
          className="App-link"
          href="https://reactjs.org"
          target="_blank"
          rel="noopener noreferrer"
        >
          Learn React
        </a>
      </header>
    </div>
  );
}

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Browser: None (Jest runner)
Version: 14.4.3 (user-event)

Additional context
I'm following the same pattern I used to install all my other npm modules, and have only been using this library for the last 2 days. The fact that I can't even import a module out of the box that's referred to in the docs seems weird. If I'm importing it from the wrong location it's because the examples in the docs do not have an explicit "import" statement to access the userEvent object.

stephen-hopkins · 2023-02-02T11:53:57Z

I was having the same issue on 14.4.3 but importing it as follows works:

import * as userEvent from "@testing-library/user-event";

const user = userEvent.default.setup();

jtomaszewski · 2023-07-05T11:22:46Z

In my case it's even different, it seems that the only following version is working:

import userEvent from "@testing-library/user-event";

const user = userEvent.default.setup();

FYI I'm using typescript 5.1.6 with moduleResolution: "nodenext" and esm modules.

stefannibrasil · 2024-01-04T15:27:36Z

Here's what worked for me:

import React from 'react'
import {render, screen} from '@testing-library/react'
import userEvent from "@testing-library/user-event"
import {FavoriteNumber} from '../favorite-number'

describe('when the number input is invalid', () => {
  test('displays an error message', () => {
    // const user = userEvent.default.setup(); <---- not needed
    render(<FavoriteNumber />)
    const input = screen.getByLabelText(/favorite number/i)

    userEvent.type(input, '10') // <----- calling userEvent.type()

    expect(screen.getByRole('alert')).toHaveTextContent(
      /the number is invalid/i,
    )
  })
})

fayez-nazzal · 2024-04-04T11:24:45Z

I had a migration from cjs to esm, userEvent started didn't work anymore. A solution worked well for me is to add this to setupTests.ts:

import userEvent from'@testing-library/user-event';

jest.unstable_mockModule('@testing-library/user-event', () => ({
  default: userEvent.default,
}));

Then it worked normally without any more changes.
