Describe the Feature
I couldn't find a feature request for this, so apologies if this has already been requested.
It would be hugely beneficial if fireEvent
could be configured to log a warning if it is unable to perform the requested event. Unfortunately, I sometimes write tests that press on disabled buttons and spend a silly amount of time debugging why my tests aren't working. I usually end up debugging down into react-native-testing-library
only to find that I'm a dummy and my button has a disabled
prop or some other attribute preventing the button event from firing. I would be a huge time saver if react-native-testing-library
could give me a hint when I do dumb things like this.
Possible Implementations
One possibility might be to allow passing an additional debug param to fireEvent
that when true will console log why fireEvent
didn't work. It would be especially helpful to know what prop is preventing events from firing.
Another option that could work but isn't backwards compatible would be to return an object from fireEvent
when it fails to fire an event.
