Hi all,

I finally gave up unit testing my Quasar app, too complicated to set up
I chose rather to e2e-test it. Pros and cons for each test type, but I’m using TestCafe, and it took me a few minutes to install, and a few more to run my first test.

There is even a plugin called testcafe-vue-selectors which allows asserting props, data and computed properties. Furthermore, mocking HTTP calls is on TestCafe roadmap (nock is a workaround in the meantime). Both of these points allow some of what unit tests have to offer.

My point is : I’m not convinced it’s worth putting so much effort in unit testing Quasar apps, overall, considering how easy and what can be achieved with e2e testing, TestCafe in particular.

Hi @trajano , hi all,

I ran into TypeError: Cannot read property 'theme' of undefined as well. My error stack was pointing a problem with quasar.esm.js, where I found out ctx.parent.$q.theme couldn’t be resolved. Possible explanation : this may be related to the fact that my tested component is rendered without its parent component, so ctx.parent doesn’t exist.

Anyway, fortunately I’m using vue-test-utils, which provides “mocks” mounting option, where I set $q: { theme : "mat"}. This works for me, I hope it will help some people here too.

I totally agree that it would be more than welcome to have jest pre-configrued in the boilerplate, @rstoenescu.

By the way, thank you so much for what you’re doing, it’s impressive and a pleasure to work with. I’m building a public website right now, it’s in french, but when it’s translated to english, I’ll give you the link to add to the “made with Quasar” list, if you like
