Unit testing

[gdimitropoulos]

Is there a way we can use unit testing with sandpack-react :

        const handleRefresh =  () => {
            // listens for any message dispatched between sandpack and the bundler
            
            const stopListening = listen((message) => console.log(message));
            // sends the refresh message to the bundler, should be logged by the listener
            dispatch({ type: "status", status: 'running-tests' });
            
            // unsubscribe
             stopListening();
            console.log("here")
          };                

should this do the trick?

For some reason even on the default example that you have on the docs, i can't see the message that it was suppose to get :

    const handleRefresh = async  () => {
            // listens for any message dispatched between sandpack and the bundler
            
            const stopListening = listen((message) => console.log(message));
            // sends the refresh message to the bundler, should be logged by the listener
            dispatch({ type: "refresh" });
            
            // unsubscribe
             stopListening();
            console.log("here")
          };

my solution to the above problem is :

    useEffect(() => {
      window.addEventListener('keydown',(event) => {
        console.log(event);
      });

      window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
      // here i get all the responses from bundler 
        if (event.data.event == 'test_end') {
          if (event.data.test.status == 'fail') {
            dispatch({ type: 'refresh' });
          }
          statuses.push(event.data.test.status);
        }
        if(event.data.event =='total_test_end'){
          handleOpen();
        }

      });
    }, []);

yes, unfortunately some of the message coming from / going to the bundler are not well documented/typed inside the bundler. can you share a full example of what you are trying to achieve? perhaps in a codesandbox link. we can integrate your example in our future showcase and document it better

@alexnm actually this issue was related to a misunderstanding in the documentation, and I opened a new issue to address it #96
