Following what I did last week, I spent this week learning how to debug the code, using breakpoints more in the debugging. I tried to solve the fake-timers issue I had last week, by reading the react native docs. I dived more into testing asynchronous code, and learnt several ways to make the test effective. So I used async\/await correctly to pass that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flatList component of react native was a major time-consuming task that I needed to test. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time trying to solve the problem and I failed to resolve it. The error message given was always related to the testing configuration, which already set up and working successfully last week. Therefore, I considered changing the code and replacing the FlatList components with SectionList to avoid all of this, but it was not the perfect option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, in order to solve the aforementioned problem, I had to mock the FlatList at the end. it seemed quite impossible to test or to get an element form a FlatList unless it is mocked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
