Testing with Enzyme

I have a React UI component with an React-Boostrap form and I am trying to simulate the submit event.

//Component
<Form onSubmit={this.submitFunction.bind(this)>
...
</Form>

//Test
const wrapper = shallow(<Component ...props />);

wrapper.find('Form').simulate('submit');

However I am getting this error:

Anyone experiencing the same?

I’ve found that the problem is related to how I recover values from React-Bootstrap components.

Appartently using ReactDOM.findDOMNode(nameRef).value, is not appropriate.

I don’t think .find() will look for component names. It acts like traditional jQuery selectors, so you can look for #ids and .classes, or any arguments that are valid for document.querySelector.

I started this issue in Enzyme’s github: https://github.com/airbnb/enzyme/issues/479#issuecomment-229705790

Apparently the problem is related with the way I add values to the input in the form. Due to the use of the FormControl, it is difficult to access the input and give it a value.

Any ideas?

That looks a little above my head, sorry! I still don’t have both feet in unit testing just yet.
