Error: Not implemented: navigation

See original GitHub issue

After recent upgrade jest (which uses jsdom in background) from version 21.2.0 to 22.0.6 I have started getting error: "Error: Not implemented:" navigation

My code relies on window.location and I use in tests:

beforeEach(() => {
                window.location.href = `/ms/submission/?mybib`;
                window.location.search = '?mybib';
});

Is there a way to define a value of window.location.search using new version of jsdom?

Allow me to post the answer to my own question 😁 I simply replace the usages of window.location = url; and window.location.href = url; with

window.location.assign(url);

and then in my tests I did:

sinon.stub(window.location, 'assign');
expect(window.location.assign).to.have.been.calledWith(url);

Works like a charm - hope it can be of help to someone else 👍

If you don’t want to change your code to use location.assign - this seems to work with JSDom 11 and 13 (though there’s a chance JSDom might break it in the future…)

delete window.location;
window.location = {}; // or stub/spy etc.
