RTL with themedLayoutV2 Sidebar

For some reason I can’t render the sidebar to write UI tests

const RemixStub = createRemixStub([
    {
        path: "/",
        Component: App
    },
])
await act(async () => {
    const screen = render(
        <RemixStub
            initialEntries={['/']}
        />,
    )
    const links = await screen.findAllByRole('a')
})

const RemixStub = createRemixStub([
    {
        path: "/",
        Component: App
    },
])
await act(async () => {
    const screen = render(
        <RemixStub
            initialEntries={['/']}
        />,
    )
    const links = await screen.findAllByRole('a')
})

Error: Unable to find role="a"

Hi @Cyy. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It looks like you're trying to render the sidebar using ThemedLayoutV2 and write UI tests for it. Based on the provided knowledge sources, here are a few things to consider: 1. Ensure Proper Import and Usage of ThemedLayoutV2: Make sure you are importing and using ThemedLayoutV2 correctly in your application. Here is an example of how to use ThemedLayoutV2 with a custom sidebar component:

   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
   
   import { CustomSider } from "./CustomSider";  
   
   const App: React.FC = () => {  
    return (  
    <Refine  
    // ...  
    >  
    <ThemedLayoutV2  
    Sider={() => <CustomSider />}  
    >  
    {/* ... */}  
    </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
    );  
   };

   import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
   import { ThemedLayoutV2 } from "@refinedev/mui";  
   
   import { CustomSider } from "./CustomSider";  
   
   const App: React.FC = () => {  
    return (  
    <Refine  
    // ...  
    >  
    <ThemedLayoutV2  
    Sider={() => <CustomSider />}  
    >  
    {/* ... */}  
    </ThemedLayoutV2>  
    </Refine>  
    );  
   };

Source (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/themed-layout#sider) 2. Check the useMenu Hook: The sidebar (ThemedSiderV2) uses the useMenu hook to generate menu items based on the resources defined in the Refine component. Ensure that your resources are correctly defined and that the useMenu hook is functioning as expected. 3. UI Tests for Sidebar: Ensure that your UI tests are correctly set up to render the sidebar. The error message "Unable to find role='a'" suggests that the sidebar links are not being rendered. Verify that the ThemedSiderV2 component is correctly generating the links. 4. Example of UI Test: Here is an example of how you might set up your UI test to render the sidebar and check for links:

   import { render, screen, act } from '@testing-library/react';
   import { createRemixStub } from 'remix-testing-library';
   import App from './App'; // Ensure this path is correct
const RemixStub = createRemixStub([
       {
           path: "/",
           Component: App
       },
   ]);

   await act(async () => {
       render(
           <RemixStub initialEntries={['/']} />
       );
   });

   const links = await screen.findAllByRole('link'); // Ensure the role matches the rendered elements
   expect(links).not.toBeNull();

   import { render, screen, act } from '@testing-library/react';
   import { createRemixStub } from 'remix-testing-library';
   import App from './App'; // Ensure this path is correct
const RemixStub = createRemixStub([
       {
           path: "/",
           Component: App
       },
   ]);

   await act(async () => {
       render(
           <RemixStub initialEntries={['/']} />
       );
   });

   const links = await screen.findAllByRole('link'); // Ensure the role matches the rendered elements
   expect(links).not.toBeNull();

Make sure that the role you are querying ('link' in this case) matches the role of the elements rendered by your sidebar. If you continue to face issues, you might want to check the documentation for more details or consider opening an issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues). For more detailed information, you can refer to the ThemedLayoutV2 documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/components/themed-layout#sider). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
