Exclude jasmine test

💻 Tech

The opposite of fdescribe() and fit() from yesterday’s journal are xdescribe() and xit(), which ensure that test cases are excluded from testing, hence x. In the example below, nothing will be tested because all test cases are excluded from testing.

xdescribe('AppComponent', () => {
  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [AppComponent],
    }).compileComponents();
  });

  it('should create the app', () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.componentInstance;
    expect(app).toBeTruthy();
  });

  it(`should have the 'unittest' title`, () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    const app = fixture.componentInstance;
    expect(app.title).toEqual('unittest');
  });

  it('should render title', () => {
    const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(AppComponent);
    fixture.detectChanges();
    const compiled = fixture.nativeElement as HTMLElement;
    expect(compiled.querySelector('h1')?.textContent).toContain('Hello, unittest');
  });
});

import { ComponentFixture, TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';

import { ChildComponent } from './child.component';

describe('ChildComponent', () => {
  let component: ChildComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<ChildComponent>;

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [ChildComponent]
    })
    .compileComponents();
    
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(ChildComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance;
    fixture.detectChanges();
  });

  xit('should create', () => {
    expect(component).toBeTruthy();
  });
});
