Unit tests with components and new life-cycle hooks

[thec0keman]

Not sure if this is the right place to mention this, but with components in 1.13 some of the lifecycle hooks are not being called. The issue is we have a few tests that are failing because the willRender hook is not being called. Manually calling this from within the test solves the issue, as is changing the hook to didInsertElement.

Is this expected behavior, or should part of the test setup for components also fire off some of the initial lifecycle hooks?

Any luck with this @thec0keman

For now I've just been manually calling them in tests when needed. 😞

Yeah me too +1

After watching this recent discussion on migrating to 2.0 I now realize that this is an inherent limitation of unit component tests. Integration component tests resolve this.
