Next.js with Rust compiler

This example demonstrates how to use jest-preview with Next.js, bootstrapped using create-next-app.

⚠️ This example is meant for Next.js apps using the new Next.js compiler (also called Rust compiler), available from Next.js 12.0.0 onward. If you use Next.js version 11 or below, or opt-out of the Next.js compiler, please see the nextjs-babel example.

🚧 Next.js's <Image /> component isn't working with Jest Preview yet.

Install Jest

Install Jest and your favorite testing libraries, if you haven't already done so. Refer to Next.js's official document. This example uses react-testing-library.

Install & configure Jest Preview

Install Jest Preview

npm install --save-dev jest-preview

Enable Jest Preview inside jest.config.js. Note that the Jest config object returned by configureNextJestPreview shouldn't be modified any further.

  const nextJest = require('next/jest')
+ const { configureNextJestPreview } = require('jest-preview')

  const createJestConfig = nextJest({
    // Provide the path to your Next.js app to load next.config.js and .env files in your test environment
    dir: './',
  })

  // Add any custom config to be passed to Jest
  const customJestConfig = {
    // Add more setup options before each test is run
    setupFilesAfterEnv: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.js'],
    // if using TypeScript with a baseUrl set to the root directory then you need the below for alias' to work
    moduleDirectories: ['node_modules', '<rootDir>/'],
    testEnvironment: 'jest-environment-jsdom',
  }

- // createJestConfig is exported this way to ensure that next/jest can load the Next.js config which is async
- module.exports = createJestConfig(customJestConfig)
+ // NOTE: `configureNextJestPreview` accepts the final configuration for Jest.
+ // Modifying its return value before exporting might break `jest-preview`.
+ module.exports = configureNextJestPreview(createJestConfig(customJestConfig));

Configure Jest Preview inside jest.setup.js (or any setup files specified in your setupFilesAfterEnv config), so Jest Preview knows which global CSS file to load.

import { jestPreviewConfigure } from 'jest-preview';
import 'styles/globals.css';
// SCSS is also supported
import 'demo/globals.scss',
// Any CSS from node_modules is fine
import '@your-design-system/css/dist/index.min.css',

Done

That's it! Now you can use Jest Preview in your test. Say we have __tests__/index.test.tsx:

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import preview from 'jest-preview';
import Home from '../pages/index';
import '@testing-library/jest-dom';

it('should show welcome message', () => {
  render(<Home />);

  preview.debug();

  expect(
    screen.getByRole('heading', { name: /welcome to next.js/i }),
  ).toBeInTheDocument();
});

To run this test with Jest Preview, you must keep the jest-preview server running in parallel. See the result at http://locahost:3336.

./node_modules/.bin/jest-preview

./node_modules/.bin/jest --watch

You might as well add some NPM scripts for convenience:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "next dev",
  "build": "next build",
  "start": "next start",
  "lint": "next lint",
+ "test": "jest --watch",
+ "jest-preview": "jest-preview"
},

npm run jest-preview

npm run test

You may even install npm-run-all to simplify this further:

npm install --save-dev npm-run-all

"scripts": {
  "dev": "next dev",
  "build": "next build",
  "start": "next start",
  "lint": "next lint",
  "test": "jest --watch",
  "jest-preview": "jest-preview",
+ "test:preview": "npm-run-all -p test jest-preview"
},

npm run test:preview
