Vi
Vitest provides utility functions to help you out through its vi helper. You can access it globally (when globals configuration is enabled), or import from vitest:
import { vi } from 'vitest'
vi.advanceTimersByTime
-
Type:
(ms: number) => VitestWorks just like
runAllTimers, but will end after passed milliseconds. For example this will log1, 2, 3and will not throw:let i = 0 setInterval(() => console.log(++i), 50) vi.advanceTimersByTime(150)
vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync
-
Type:
(ms: number) => Promise<Vitest>Works just like
runAllTimersAsync, but will end after passed milliseconds. This will include asynchronously set timers. For example this will log1, 2, 3and will not throw:let i = 0 setInterval(() => Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log(++i)), 50) await vi.advanceTimersByTimeAsync(150)
vi.advanceTimersToNextTimer
-
Type:
() => VitestWill call next available timer. Useful to make assertions between each timer call. You can chain call it to manage timers by yourself.
let i = 0 setInterval(() => console.log(++i), 50) vi.advanceTimersToNextTimer() // log 1 .advanceTimersToNextTimer() // log 2 .advanceTimersToNextTimer() // log 3
vi.advanceTimersToNextTimerAsync
-
Type:
() => Promise<Vitest>Will call next available timer even if it was set asynchronously. Useful to make assertions between each timer call. You can chain call it to manage timers by yourself.
let i = 0 setInterval(() => Promise.resolve().then(() => console.log(++i)), 50) vi.advanceTimersToNextTimerAsync() // log 1 .advanceTimersToNextTimerAsync() // log 2 .advanceTimersToNextTimerAsync() // log 3
vi.getTimerCount
-
Type:
() => numberGet the number of waiting timers.
vi.clearAllMocks
Will call .mockClear() on all spies. This will clear mock history, but not reset its implementation to the default one.
vi.clearAllTimers
Removes all timers that are scheduled to run. These timers will never run in the future.
vi.dynamicImportSettled
Wait for all imports to load. Useful, if you have a synchronous call that starts importing a module, that you cannot wait otherwise.
vi.fn
-
Type:
(fn?: Function) => CallableMockInstanceCreates a spy on a function, though can be initiated without one. Every time a function is invoked, it stores its call arguments, returns, and instances. Also, you can manipulate its behavior with methods. If no function is given, mock will return
undefined, when invoked.const getApples = vi.fn(() => 0) getApples() expect(getApples).toHaveBeenCalled() expect(getApples).toHaveReturnedWith(0) getApples.mockReturnValueOnce(5) const res = getApples() expect(res).toBe(5) expect(getApples).toHaveNthReturnedWith(2, 5)
vi.getMockedSystemTime
-
Type:
() => Date | nullReturns mocked current date that was set using
setSystemTime. If date is not mocked, will returnnull.
vi.getRealSystemTime
-
Type:
() => numberWhen using
vi.useFakeTimers,Date.nowcalls are mocked. If you need to get real time in milliseconds, you can call this function.
vi.hoisted
-
Type:
<T>(factory: () => T) => T -
Version: Since Vitest 0.31.0
All static
importstatements in ES modules are hoisted to top of the file, so any code that is define before the imports will actually be executed after imports are evaluated.Hovewer it can be useful to invoke some side effect like mocking dates before importing a module.
To bypass this limitation, you can rewrite static imports into dynamic ones like this:
callFunctionWithSideEffect() - import { value } from './some/module.ts' + const { value } = await import('./some/module.ts')When running
vitest, you can do this automatically by usingvi.hoistedmethod.- callFunctionWithSideEffect() import { value } from './some/module.ts' + vi.hoisted(() => callFunctionWithSideEffect())This method returns the value that was returned from the factory. You can use that value in your
vi.mockfactories if you need an easy access to locally defined variables:import { expect, vi } from 'vitest' import { originalMethod } from './path/to/module.js' const { mockedMethod } = vi.hoisted(() => { return { mockedMethod: vi.fn() } }) vi.mocked('./path/to/module.js', () => { return { originalMethod: mockedMethod } }) mockedMethod.mockReturnValue(100) expect(originalMethod()).toBe(100)
vi.mock
-
Type:
(path: string, factory?: () => unknown) => voidSubstitutes all imported modules from provided
pathwith another module. You can use configured Vite aliases inside a path. The call tovi.mockis hoisted, so it doesn't matter where you call it. It will always be executed before all imports. If you need to reference some variables outside of its scope, you can defined them insidevi.hoistedand reference insidevi.mock.::: warning
vi.mockworks only for modules that were imported with theimportkeyword. It doesn't work withrequire.Vitest statically analyzes your files to hoist
vi.mock. It means that you cannot usevithat was not imported directly fromvitestpackage (for example, from some utility file). To fix this, always usevi.mockwithviimported fromvitest, or enableglobalsconfig option. :::::: warning Mocking modules is not currently supported in the browser mode. You can track this feature in the GitHub issue. :::
If
factoryis defined, all imports will return its result. Vitest calls factory only once and caches result for all subsequent imports untilvi.unmockorvi.doUnmockis called.Unlike in
jest, the factory can be asynchronous, so you can usevi.importActualor a helper, received as the first argument, inside to get the original module.vi.mock('./path/to/module.js', async (importOriginal) => { const mod = await importOriginal() return { ...mod, // replace some exports namedExport: vi.fn(), } })::: warning
vi.mockis hoisted (in other words, moved) to top of the file. It means that whenever you write it (be it insidebeforeEachortest), it will actually be called before that.This also means that you cannot use any variables inside the factory that are defined outside the factory.
If you need to use variables inside the factory, try
vi.doMock. It works the same way but isn't hoisted. Beware that it only mocks subsequent imports.You can also reference variables defined by
vi.hoistedmethod if it was declared beforevi.mock:import { namedExport } from './path/to/module.js' const mocks = vi.hoisted(() => { return { namedExport: vi.fn(), } }) vi.mock('./path/to/module.js', () => { return { namedExport: mocks.namedExport, } }) vi.mocked(namedExport).mockReturnValue(100) expect(namedExport()).toBe(100) expect(namedExport).toBe(mocks.namedExport):::
::: warning If you are mocking a module with default export, you will need to provide a
defaultkey within the returned factory function object. This is an ES modules-specific caveat, thereforejestdocumentation may differ asjestuses CommonJS modules. For example,vi.mock('./path/to/module.js', () => { return { default: { myDefaultKey: vi.fn() }, namedExport: vi.fn(), // etc... } }):::
If there is a
__mocks__folder alongside a file that you are mocking, and the factory is not provided, Vitest will try to find a file with the same name in the__mocks__subfolder and use it as an actual module. If you are mocking a dependency, Vitest will try to find a__mocks__folder in the root of the project (default isprocess.cwd()).For example, you have this file structure:
- __mocks__ - axios.js - src __mocks__ - increment.js - increment.js - tests - increment.test.jsIf you call
vi.mockin a test file without a factory provided, it will find a file in the__mocks__folder to use as a module:// increment.test.js import { vi } from 'vitest' // axios is a default export from `__mocks__/axios.js` import axios from 'axios' // increment is a named export from `src/__mocks__/increment.js` import { increment } from '../increment.js' vi.mock('axios') vi.mock('../increment.js') axios.get(`/apples/${increment(1)}`)::: warning Beware that if you don't call
vi.mock, modules are not mocked automatically. To replicate Jest's automocking behaviour, you can callvi.mockfor each required module insidesetupFiles. :::If there is no
__mocks__folder or a factory provided, Vitest will import the original module and auto-mock all its exports. For the rules applied, see algorithm.
vi.doMock
-
Type:
(path: string, factory?: () => unknown) => voidThe same as
vi.mock, but it's not hoisted at the top of the file, so you can reference variables in the global file scope. The next import of the module will be mocked. This will not mock modules that were imported before this was called.
// ./increment.js
export function increment(number) {
return number + 1
}
import { beforeEach, test } from 'vitest'
import { increment } from './increment.js'
// the module is not mocked, because vi.doMock is not called yet
increment(1) === 2
let mockedIncrement = 100
beforeEach(() => {
// you can access variables inside a factory
vi.doMock('./increment.js', () => ({ increment: () => ++mockedIncrement }))
})
test('importing the next module imports mocked one', async () => {
// original import WAS NOT MOCKED, because vi.doMock is evaluated AFTER imports
expect(increment(1)).toBe(2)
const { increment: mockedIncrement } = await import('./increment.js')
// new import returns mocked module
expect(mockedIncrement(1)).toBe(101)
expect(mockedIncrement(1)).toBe(102)
expect(mockedIncrement(1)).toBe(103)
})
vi.mocked
-
Type:
<T>(obj: T, deep?: boolean) => MaybeMockedDeep<T> -
Type:
<T>(obj: T, options?: { partial?: boolean; deep?: boolean }) => MaybePartiallyMockedDeep<T>Type helper for TypeScript. In reality just returns the object that was passed.
When
partialistrueit will expect aPartial<T>as a return value.import example from './example.js' vi.mock('./example.js') test('1+1 equals 2', async () => { vi.mocked(example.calc).mockRestore() const res = example.calc(1, '+', 1) expect(res).toBe(2) })
vi.importActual
-
Type:
<T>(path: string) => Promise<T>Imports module, bypassing all checks if it should be mocked. Can be useful if you want to mock module partially.
vi.mock('./example.js', async () => { const axios = await vi.importActual('./example.js') return { ...axios, get: vi.fn() } })
vi.importMock
-
Type:
<T>(path: string) => Promise<MaybeMockedDeep<T>>Imports a module with all of its properties (including nested properties) mocked. Follows the same rules that
vi.mockfollows. For the rules applied, see algorithm.
vi.resetAllMocks
Will call .mockReset() on all spies. This will clear mock history and reset its implementation to an empty function (will return undefined).
vi.resetConfig
-
Type:
RuntimeConfigIf
vi.setConfigwas called before, this will reset config to the original state.
vi.resetModules
-
Type:
() => VitestResets modules registry by clearing cache of all modules. This allows modules to be reevaluated when reimported. Top-level imports cannot be reevaluated. Might be useful to isolate modules where local state conflicts between tests.
import { vi } from 'vitest' import { data } from './data.js' // Will not get reevaluated beforeEach test beforeEach(() => { vi.resetModules() }) test('change state', async () => { const mod = await import('./some/path.js') // Will get reevaluated mod.changeLocalState('new value') expect(mod.getLocalState()).toBe('new value') }) test('module has old state', async () => { const mod = await import('./some/path.js') // Will get reevaluated expect(mod.getLocalState()).toBe('old value') })
::: warning
Does not reset mocks registry. To clear mocks registry, use vi.unmock or vi.doUnmock.
:::
vi.restoreAllMocks
Will call .mockRestore() on all spies. This will clear mock history and reset its implementation to the original one.
vi.restoreCurrentDate
-
Type:
() => voidRestores
Dateback to its native implementation.
vi.stubEnv
-
Type:
(name: string, value: string) => Vitest -
Version: Since Vitest 0.26.0
Changes the value of environmental variable on
process.envandimport.meta.env. You can restore its value by callingvi.unstubAllEnvs.
import { vi } from 'vitest'
// `process.env.NODE_ENV` and `import.meta.env.NODE_ENV`
// are "development" before calling "vi.stubEnv"
vi.stubEnv('NODE_ENV', 'production')
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
// doesn't change other envs
import.meta.env.MODE === 'development'
:::tip
You can also change the value by simply assigning it, but you won't be able to use vi.unstubAllEnvs to restore previous value:
import.meta.env.MODE = 'test'
:::
:::warning
Vitest transforms all import.meta.env calls into process.env, so they can be easily changed at runtime. Node.js only supports string values as env parameters, while Vite supports several built-in envs as boolean (namely, SSR, DEV, PROD). To mimic Vite, set "truthy" values as env: '' instead of false, and '1' instead of true.
But beware that you cannot rely on import.meta.env.DEV === false in this case. Use !import.meta.env.DEV. This also affects simple assigning, not just vi.stubEnv method.
:::
vi.unstubAllEnvs
-
Type:
() => Vitest -
Version: Since Vitest 0.26.0
Restores all
import.meta.envandprocess.envvalues that were changed withvi.stubEnv. When it's called for the first time, Vitest remembers the original value and will store it, untilunstubAllEnvsis called again.
import { vi } from 'vitest'
// `process.env.NODE_ENV` and `import.meta.env.NODE_ENV`
// are "development" before calling stubEnv
vi.stubEnv('NODE_ENV', 'production')
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
vi.stubEnv('NODE_ENV', 'staging')
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'staging'
import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'staging'
vi.unstubAllEnvs()
// restores to the value that were stored before the first "stubEnv" call
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
import.meta.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
vi.stubGlobal
-
Type:
(name: string | number | symbol, value: unknown) => VitestChanges the value of global variable. You can restore its original value by calling
vi.unstubAllGlobals.
import { vi } from 'vitest'
// `innerWidth` is "0" before calling stubGlobal
vi.stubGlobal('innerWidth', 100)
innerWidth === 100
globalThis.innerWidth === 100
// if you are using jsdom or happy-dom
window.innerWidth === 100
:::tip
You can also change the value by simply assigning it to globalThis or window (if you are using jsdom or happy-dom environment), but you won't be able to use vi.unstubAllGlobals to restore original value:
globalThis.innerWidth = 100
// if you are using jsdom or happy-dom
window.innerWidth = 100
:::
vi.unstubAllGlobals
-
Type:
() => Vitest -
Version: Since Vitest 0.26.0
Restores all global values on
globalThis/global(andwindow/top/self/parent, if you are usingjsdomorhappy-domenvironment) that were changed withvi.stubGlobal. When it's called for the first time, Vitest remembers the original value and will store it, untilunstubAllGlobalsis called again.
import { vi } from 'vitest'
const Mock = vi.fn()
// IntersectionObserver is "undefined" before calling "stubGlobal"
vi.stubGlobal('IntersectionObserver', Mock)
IntersectionObserver === Mock
global.IntersectionObserver === Mock
globalThis.IntersectionObserver === Mock
// if you are using jsdom or happy-dom
window.IntersectionObserver === Mock
vi.unstubAllGlobals()
globalThis.IntersectionObserver === undefined
'IntersectionObserver' in globalThis === false
// throws ReferenceError, because it's not defined
IntersectionObserver === undefined
vi.runAllTicks
-
Type:
() => VitestCalls every microtask that was queued by
process.nextTick. This will also run all microtasks scheduled by themselves.
vi.runAllTimers
-
Type:
() => VitestThis method will invoke every initiated timer until the timers queue is empty. It means that every timer called during
runAllTimerswill be fired. If you have an infinite interval, it will throw after 10 000 tries. For example this will log1, 2, 3:let i = 0 setTimeout(() => console.log(++i)) const interval = setInterval(() => { console.log(++i) if (i === 3) clearInterval(interval) }, 50) vi.runAllTimers()
vi.runAllTimersAsync
-
Type:
() => Promise<Vitest>This method will asynchronously invoke every initiated timer until the timers queue is empty. It means that every timer called during
runAllTimersAsyncwill be fired even asynchronous timers. If you have an infinite interval, it will throw after 10 000 tries. For example this will logresult:setTimeout(async () => { console.log(await Promise.resolve('result')) }, 100) await vi.runAllTimersAsync()
vi.runOnlyPendingTimers
-
Type:
() => VitestThis method will call every timer that was initiated after
vi.useFakeTimers()call. It will not fire any timer that was initiated during its call. For example this will only log1:let i = 0 setInterval(() => console.log(++i), 50) vi.runOnlyPendingTimers()
vi.runOnlyPendingTimersAsync
-
Type:
() => Promise<Vitest>This method will asynchronously call every timer that was initiated after
vi.useFakeTimers()call, even asynchronous ones. It will not fire any timer that was initiated during its call. For example this will log2, 3, 3, 1:setTimeout(() => { console.log(1) }, 100) setTimeout(() => { Promise.resolve().then(() => { console.log(2) setInterval(() => { console.log(3) }, 40) }) }, 10) await vi.runOnlyPendingTimersAsync()
vi.setSystemTime
-
Type:
(date: string | number | Date) => voidSets current date to the one that was passed. All
Datecalls will return this date.Useful if you need to test anything that depends on the current date - for example luxon calls inside your code.
const date = new Date(1998, 11, 19) vi.useFakeTimers() vi.setSystemTime(date) expect(Date.now()).toBe(date.valueOf()) vi.useRealTimers()
vi.setConfig
-
Type:
RuntimeConfigUpdates config for the current test file. You can only affect values that are used, when executing tests.
vi.spyOn
-
Type:
<T, K extends keyof T>(object: T, method: K, accessType?: 'get' | 'set') => MockInstanceCreates a spy on a method or getter/setter of an object.
let apples = 0 const cart = { getApples: () => 13, } const spy = vi.spyOn(cart, 'getApples').mockImplementation(() => apples) apples = 1 expect(cart.getApples()).toBe(1) expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled() expect(spy).toHaveReturnedWith(1)
vi.stubGlobal
-
Type:
(key: keyof globalThis & Window, value: any) => VitestPuts a value on global variable. If you are using
jsdomorhappy-dom, also puts the value onwindowobject.Read more in "Mocking Globals" section.
vi.unmock
-
Type:
(path: string) => voidRemoves module from the mocked registry. All calls to import will return the original module even if it was mocked before. This call is hoisted (moved) to the top of the file, so it will only unmock modules that were defined in
setupFiles, for example.
vi.doUnmock
-
Type:
(path: string) => voidThe same as
vi.unmock, but is not hoisted to the top of the file. The next import of the module will import the original module instead of the mock. This will not unmock previously imported modules.
// ./increment.js
export function increment(number) {
return number + 1
}
import { increment } from './increment.js'
// increment is already mocked, because vi.mock is hoisted
increment(1) === 100
// this is hoisted, and factory is called before the import on line 1
vi.mock('./increment.js', () => ({ increment: () => 100 }))
// all calls are mocked, and `increment` always returns 100
increment(1) === 100
increment(30) === 100
// this is not hoisted, so other import will return unmocked module
vi.doUnmock('./increment.js')
// this STILL returns 100, because `vi.doUnmock` doesn't reevaluate a module
increment(1) === 100
increment(30) === 100
// the next import is unmocked, now `increment` is the original function that returns count + 1
const { increment: unmockedIncrement } = await import('./increment.js')
unmockedIncrement(1) === 2
unmockedIncrement(30) === 31
vi.useFakeTimers
-
Type:
() => VitestTo enable mocking timers, you need to call this method. It will wrap all further calls to timers (such as
setTimeout,setInterval,clearTimeout,clearInterval,nextTick,setImmediate,clearImmediate, andDate), untilvi.useRealTimers()is called.The implementation is based internally on
@sinonjs/fake-timers.
vi.useRealTimers
-
Type:
() => VitestWhen timers are run out, you may call this method to return mocked timers to its original implementations. All timers that were run before will not be restored.
