Storybook: react-beautiful-dnd outputs "Droppable has not been provided with a ref." in storyshots

[ttoohey]

Bug or support request summary

Storyshots with https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd output an error message:

    console.error node_modules/react-beautiful-dnd/dist/react-beautiful-dnd.cjs.js:4694

              Droppable has not been provided with a ref.
              Please use the DroppableProvided > innerRef function

I'm expecting the fix will require "mocking refs" but am looking for some guidance on how to do that. I've looked through https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/issues/1820 but I'm still not clear what should be done.

Steps to reproduce

From a create-react-app based project with storybook initialised using getstorybook. The following code is from react-beautiful-dnd's readme examples

// stories/index.js
import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';

storiesOf('react-beautiful-dnd', module)
  .add('Droppable', () => (
    <DragDropContext>
      <Droppable droppableId="droppable-1" type="PERSON">
        {(provided, snapshot) => (
          <div
            ref={provided.innerRef}
            {...provided.droppableProps}
          >
            <h2>I am a droppable!</h2>
            {provided.placeholder}
          </div>
        )}
      </Droppable>
    </DragDropContext>
  ))

// stories/storyshots.test.js
import initStoryshots from '@storybook/addon-storyshots';
initStoryshots();

npm test -- -t storyshots

You can try something like this:

import initStoryshots, { snapshotWithOptions } from '@storybook/addon-storyshots'

initStoryshots({
  test: snapshotWithOptions({
    createNodeMock: (element) => {
      if (typeof element.type === 'string') {
        return document.createElement(element.type)
      }
    },
  }),
})

@Hypnosphi - thanks for that, that seems to work for the simple example.

I've now tried with the Draggable component from react-beautiful-dnd and it has another problem that seems related, but I'm stuck again trying to understand what it means.

// stories/index.js
import React from 'react';
import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react';
import { DragDropContext, Droppable, Draggable } from 'react-beautiful-dnd';

storiesOf('react-beautiful-dnd', module)
  .add('Draggable', () => (
    <DragDropContext>
      <Droppable droppableId="droppable-1" type="PERSON">
        {(provided, snapshot) => (
          <div
            ref={provided.innerRef}
            {...provided.droppableProps}
          >
            <Draggable draggableId="draggable-1" index={0}>
              {(provided, snapshot) => (
                <div
                  ref={provided.innerRef}
                  {...provided.draggableProps}
                  {...provided.dragHandleProps}
                >
                  <h4>My draggable</h4>
                </div>
              )}
            </Draggable>
            {provided.placeholder}
          </div>
        )}
      </Droppable>
    </DragDropContext>
  ))

// stories/storyshots.test.js
import initStoryshots, { snapshotWithOptions } from '@storybook/addon-storyshots'

initStoryshots({
  test: snapshotWithOptions({
    createNodeMock: (element) => {
      if (typeof element.type === 'string') {
        return document.createElement(element.type)
      }
    },
  }),
})

@ttoohey did you find any solution ? thx

[goldo]

Ok I think I got it :D

const createNodeMock = element => {
  const elm = document.createElement(element.type)
  elm.setAttribute('data-react-beautiful-dnd-drag-handle', '0')
  return elm
}

[ttoohey]

@goldo thanks for that!

I needed to adapt the solution slightly as it introduced a new problem when applied to a more complex application. I'm now using

createNodeMock: (element) => {
  if (typeof element.type === 'string' && element.type === 'div') {
    const elm = document.createElement(element.type)
    elm.setAttribute('data-react-beautiful-dnd-drag-handle', '0')
    return elm
  }
},

Without the additional element.type === 'div' check I was getting

    TypeError: Cannot read property 'replaceChild' of null

      3 | function renderWithOptions(options) {
      4 |   return function({ story, context, renderTree }) {
    > 5 |     const result = renderTree(story, context, options);
      6 |     if (typeof result.then === "function") {
      7 |       return result;
      8 |     }
