Testing React-Intl components with Enzyme's mount() and shallow() methods. This is a helper function which wraps the `intl` context around your component tests in an easy and efficient way.

README.md

When using Enzyme and React-Intl you are likely run into the issues when testing components that use some of React-Intl's components or injected formatting functions. These helper functions (mountWithIntl and shallowWithIntl) aim to address some of the below errors:

Uncaught Invariant Violation: [React Intl] Could not find required ``intl`` object. <IntlProvider> needs to exist in the component ancestry.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getInstance' of null

Error: ReactWrapper::state() can only be called on the root

Checkout this question at StackOverflow for a complete overview of the issues I ran into:

Injecting react-intl object into mounted Enzyme components for testing

CustomComponent-test.js

import { mountWithIntl } from 'helpers/intl-enzyme-test-helper.js';

const wrapper = mountWithIntl(
  <CustomComponent />
);

expect(wrapper.state('foo')).to.equal('bar');    // OK
expect(wrapper.text()).to.equal('Hello World!'); // OK

CustomComponent.js

import React from 'react';
import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl';

class CustomComponent extends React.Component {
  state = {
    foo: 'bar'
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <FormattedMessage id="world.hello" defaultMessage="Hello World!" />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

intl-enzyme-test-helper.js

/**
 * Components using the react-intl module require access to the intl context.
 * This is not available when mounting single components in Enzyme.
 * These helper functions aim to address that and wrap a valid,
 * English-locale intl context around them.
 */

import React from 'react';
import { IntlProvider, intlShape } from 'react-intl';
import { mount, shallow } from 'enzyme';

// You can pass your messages to the IntlProvider. Optional: remove if unneeded.
const messages = require('../locales/en'); // en.json

// Create the IntlProvider to retrieve context for wrapping around.
const intlProvider = new IntlProvider({ locale: 'en', messages }, {});
const { intl } = intlProvider.getChildContext();

/**
 * When using React-Intl `injectIntl` on components, props.intl is required.
 */
function nodeWithIntlProp(node) {
  return React.cloneElement(node, { intl });
}

/**
 * Export these methods.
 */
export function shallowWithIntl(node) {
  return shallow(nodeWithIntlProp(node), { context: { intl } });
}

export function mountWithIntl(node) {
  return mount(nodeWithIntlProp(node), {
    context: { intl },
    childContextTypes: { intl: intlShape }
  });
}

Thats how I achieve the things:

import React from 'react';
import StandardFilterIntl, {StandardFilter} from 'bundles/components/Filter/StandardFilter';
import {mountWithIntl} from 'enzyme-react-intl';

const FilterComponent = mountWithIntl(<StandardFilterIntl {...standardFilterProps} />);
FilterComponent.find(StandardFilter).state()

@mirague I use your method but cannot render the component properly. Can you help me with this problem?

import React from 'react';
import {injectIntl, IntlProvider} from 'react-intl'

import { mount, shallow } from 'enzyme';
import Enzyme from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';
const defaultLocale = 'en'
const locale = defaultLocale

function mountWithIntl(node) {
  return mount(node, {
    wrappingComponent: IntlProvider,
    wrappingComponentProps: {
      locale,
      defaultLocale,
      messages: {},
    },
  })
}

function shallowWithIntl(node) {
  return shallow(node, {
    wrappingComponent: IntlProvider,
    wrappingComponentProps: {
      locale,
      defaultLocale,
      messages: {},
    },
  })
}

Enzyme.configure({
  adapter: new Adapter()
});

class Func extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <div>{int.formatMessage({id:'xxx'})}</div>
  }
}

const Component = injectIntl(Func);

describe('Name of the group', () => {
  it('should ', () => {
    const component = shallowWithIntl(<Component/>);
    expect(component.find('div').length).toBe(1);
    console.log(component);
  });
});
