Add helper for mocking/stubbing form.submit
JSDOM doesn't implement the submit method on form elements. It does have a submit method but this just fires a 'not implemented' error. We need to spy on form submissions fired by clicking on the submit button but can't because this event calls the submit method internally so spying on `form.submit` doesn't work. This adds a helper which spies on the internal method that is actually called. When JSDOM implements the submit method properly this should be removed.

// helper for spying on the submit method on a form element
|
||||
// JSDOM's implementation of submit just wraps a 'not implemented' error so we need to mock that to track calls to it
|
||||
//
|
||||
// * Remove when JSDOM implements submit on its form elements *
|
||||
//
|
||||
// elements in JSDOM have a public API and a private implementation API, only used by internal code
|
||||
// For form elements, these are instances of the following classes:
|
||||
// - HTMLFormElement
|
||||
// - HTMLFormElementImpl
|
||||
//
|
||||
// form elements link to their implementation instance via a symbol property
|
||||
// this spies on the submit method of the implementation instance for a form element and mocks it to prevent 'not implemented' errors
|
||||
function spyOnFormSubmit (jest, form) {
|
||||
|
||||
const formImplementationSymbols = Object.getOwnPropertySymbols(form).filter(
|
||||
symbol => form[symbol].constructor.name === 'HTMLFormElementImpl'
|
||||
);
|
||||
|

throw Error("Error mocking form.submit: symbol reference to HTMLFormElementImpl instance not found on form element");
|

}
|
||||
|
||||
const HTMLFormElementImpl = form[formImplementationSymbols[0]];
|
||||
|
||||
const submitSpy = jest.spyOn(HTMLFormElementImpl, 'submit')
|

submitSpy.mockImplementation();
