You've set up react-testing-library with Jest and react-router. You want to check that a component successfully redirects to another page. But how? Your React application comes with a protected route. If a user is not authenticated, the app should redirect the user to the login screen. You've managed to set up react-router-dom for your component. For example, here's an excerpt from a UserStatus.jsx component that only an authenticated user should be able to access:

I'm still trying to improve my Docker builds. Here's an example for a multi-stage Docker build for React:

A few days ago, I updated a React application that uses Jest and Enzyme for testing. The new tests yielded errors like cannot find module ‘react-test-renderer’. Solution: Install react-test-renderer and enzyme-to-json as dev dependencies, and re-factor tests to use enzyme-to-json. npm i –save-dev react-test-renderer enzyme-to-json In your package.json file, add the serializer to your jest config: { "jest": { "snapshotSerializers": [ "enzyme-to-json/serializer" ] } } Example test file before update:

Today I've tried to update one of my Docker apps that uses React, Enzyme, and Jest. This lead me on a wild goose chase about react-test-renderer and best practices for Docker builds for Node.js. I'm still not sure where the problem is (Enzyme, maybe?). But I found three useful resources for Docker and Node.js: Docker and Node.js Best Practices Node + Docker Hello World, for Showing Good Defaults for Using Node.
