reactjs - Mocking refs in React function component

I have React function component that has a ref on one of its children. The ref is created via useRef.

I want to test the component with the shallow renderer. I have to somehow mock the ref to test the rest of the functionality.

I can't seem to find any way to get to this ref and mock it. Things I have tried

  • Accessing it via the childs property. React does not like that, since ref is not really a props

  • Mocking useRef. I tried multiple ways and could only get it to work with a spy when my implementation used React.useRef

I can't see any other way to get to the ref to mock it. Do I have to use mount in this case?

I can't post the real scenario, but I have constructed a small example

it('should test', () => {
    const mock = jest.fn();
    const component = shallow(<Comp onHandle={mock}/>);


    // @ts-ignore
    component.find('button').invoke('onClick')();

    expect(mock).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

const Comp = ({onHandle}: any) => {
    const ref = useRef(null);

    const handleClick = () => {
        if (!ref.current) return;

        onHandle();
    };

    return (<button ref={ref} onClick={handleClick}>test</button>);
};

Here is my unit test strategy, use jest.spyOn method spy on the useRef hook.

index.tsx:

import React from 'react';

export const Comp = ({ onHandle }: any) => {
  const ref = React.useRef(null);

  const handleClick = () => {
    if (!ref.current) return;

    onHandle();
  };

  return (
    <button ref={ref} onClick={handleClick}>
      test
    </button>
  );
};

index.spec.tsx:

import React from 'react';
import { shallow } from 'enzyme';
import { Comp } from './';

describe('Comp', () => {
  afterEach(() => {
    jest.restoreAllMocks();
  });
  it('should do nothing if ref does not exist', () => {
    const useRefSpy = jest.spyOn(React, 'useRef').mockReturnValueOnce({ current: null });
    const component = shallow(<Comp></Comp>);
    component.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(useRefSpy).toBeCalledWith(null);
  });

  it('should handle click', () => {
    const useRefSpy = jest.spyOn(React, 'useRef').mockReturnValueOnce({ current: document.createElement('button') });
    const mock = jest.fn();
    const component = shallow(<Comp onHandle={mock}></Comp>);
    component.find('button').simulate('click');
    expect(useRefSpy).toBeCalledWith(null);
    expect(mock).toBeCalledTimes(1);
  });
});

Unit test result with 100% coverage:

 PASS  src/stackoverflow/57805917/index.spec.tsx
  Comp
    ? should do nothing if ref does not exist (16ms)
    ? should handle click (3ms)
