Functions
clearMocks()
function clearMocks(): void
Clears mocked functions/data injected by the other functions in this module. When using a test runner that doesn’t provide a fresh window object for each test, calling this function will reset tauri specific properties.
Example
import { mockWindows, clearMocks } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks"
afterEach(() => { clearMocks()})
test("mocked windows", () => { mockWindows("main", "second", "third");
expect(window.__TAURI_INTERNALS__).toHaveProperty("metadata")})
test("no mocked windows", () => { expect(window.__TAURI_INTERNALS__).not.toHaveProperty("metadata")})
Returns
void

mockConvertFileSrc()
function mockConvertFileSrc(osName): void
Mock convertFileSrc
function
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
osName | string | The operating system to mock, can be one of linux, macos, or windows |
Returns
void
Example
import { mockConvertFileSrc } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks";import { convertFileSrc } from "@tauri-apps/api/core";
mockConvertFileSrc("windows")
const url = convertFileSrc("C:\\Users\\user\\file.txt")

mockIPC()
function mockIPC(cb): void
Intercepts all IPC requests with the given mock handler.
This function can be used when testing tauri frontend applications or when running the frontend in a Node.js context during static site generation.
Examples
Testing setup using vitest:
import { mockIPC, clearMocks } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks"import { invoke } from "@tauri-apps/api/core"
afterEach(() => { clearMocks()})
test("mocked command", () => { mockIPC((cmd, payload) => { switch (cmd) { case "add": return (payload.a as number) + (payload.b as number); default: break; } });
expect(invoke('add', { a: 12, b: 15 })).resolves.toBe(27);})
The callback function can also return a Promise:
import { mockIPC, clearMocks } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks"import { invoke } from "@tauri-apps/api/core"
afterEach(() => { clearMocks()})
test("mocked command", () => { mockIPC((cmd, payload) => { if(cmd === "get_data") { return fetch("https://example.com/data.json") .then((response) => response.json()) } });
expect(invoke('get_data')).resolves.toBe({ foo: 'bar' });})
Parameters
Parameter | Type |
---|---|
cb | (cmd , payload ?) => unknown |
Returns
void

mockWindows()
function mockWindows(current, ..._additionalWindows): void
Mocks one or many window labels.
In non-tauri context it is required to call this function before using the @tauri-apps/api/window
module.
This function only mocks the presence of windows,
window properties (e.g. width and height) can be mocked like regular IPC calls using the mockIPC
function.
Examples
import { mockWindows } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks";import { getCurrentWindow } from "@tauri-apps/api/window";
mockWindows("main", "second", "third");
const win = getCurrentWindow();
win.label // "main"
import { mockWindows } from "@tauri-apps/api/mocks";
mockWindows("main", "second", "third");
mockIPC((cmd, args) => { if (cmd === "plugin:event|emit") { console.log('emit event', args?.event, args?.payload); }});
const { emit } = await import("@tauri-apps/api/event");await emit('loaded'); // this will cause the mocked IPC handler to log to the console.
Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
current | string | Label of window this JavaScript context is running in. |
…_additionalWindows | string [] | - |
Returns
void
