createMockDirectory()

Home > @backstage/backend-test-utils > createMockDirectory

Creates a new temporary mock directory that will be removed after the tests have completed.

Signature:

function createMockDirectory(options?: MockDirectoryOptions): MockDirectory;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	MockDirectoryOptions	(Optional)

Remarks

This method is intended to be called outside of any test, either at top-level or within a describe block. It will call afterAll to make sure that the mock directory is removed after the tests have run.

Example

describe('MySubject', () => {
  const mockDir = createMockDirectory();

  beforeEach(mockDir.clear);

  it('should work', () => {
    // ... use mockDir
  })
})
