[BUG] Use caution with `jest.useFakeTimers()`
Just spent ages debugging why our tests were breaking when using DataLoader
and eventually discovered that since we were using jest.useFakeTimers()
it was never resolving the batch.
Would be good to have some kind of warning about this in the readme.
it works with
jest.useFakeTimers({ advanceTimers: true });
// OR
jest.useFakeTimers({ doNotFake: ["nextTick"] }); // if you really don't want process.nextTick to be monkey patched
because dataloader uses process.nextTick
(if in node)
however, I still haven't figured out how to advance the timers properly to test the dataloader itself
