`.update() => Self`

Syncs the enzyme component tree snapshot with the react component tree. Useful to run before checking the render output if something external may be updating the state of the component somewhere.

NOTE: no matter what instance this is called on, it will always update the root.

NOTE: only updates Enzyme's representation of rendered tree.

NOTE: this does not force a re-render. Use wrapper.setProps({}) to force a re-render.

Returns

ReactWrapper: Returns itself.

Example

jsx

class UpdateEnzyme extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      count: 0,
    };
    this.increment = this.increment.bind(this);
  }

  increment() {
    const { count } = this.state;
    this.setState({ count: count + 1 });
  }

  render() {
    const { count } = this.state;
    return <button type="button" className="increment" onClick={this.increment}>{count}</button>;
  }
}

jsx

const wrapper = mount(<UpdateEnzyme />);
expect(wrapper.find('button.increment').text()).to.equal('0');
wrapper.instance().increment();

// Update Enzyme's view of output
wrapper.update();

expect(wrapper.find('button.increment').text()).to.equal('1');
