You have a React component that uses a third-party library for date manipulation. While testing, you notice that this library is causing issues. How can you isolate your tests from this external dependency using Jest?
- Use Jest's jest.mock to mock the third-party library and control its behavior during testing.
- Rewrite the third-party library's code to remove the issues it's causing.
- Ignore the issues and proceed with testing, assuming they won't affect the test results.
- Disable the use of third-party libraries in the test environment.
To isolate your tests from an external dependency causing issues, you should use Jest's jest.mock as described in option a. This allows you to mock the third-party library's behavior and control its responses during testing. Rewriting the library's code is impractical and not the responsibility of the test suite. Ignoring issues or disabling third-party libraries entirely are not recommended testing practices and may lead to unreliable tests.
