fetch-mock with jasmine not triggering then

I have this constant:

export const clientData = fetch(`${process.env.SERVER_HOST}clientData.json`)
    .then(response => response.json());

Which works properly, and Now I'm working on the test of this, with Jasmine and fetch-mock

This is my test:

import { clientData } from '../../../src/js/services/client-data.fetch';
import fetchMock from 'fetch-mock';

describe('test', () => {
    const exampleResponse = {
        clientData: 'test'
    };

    beforeAll(() => {
        fetchMock.mock('*', exampleResponse);
    });

    it('ooo', () => {
        console.log('here', clientData);
        var a = clientData;
        a.then(b=> console.log(b))
    });
});

The console.log of clientData returns a Promise (Which is fine), but the then is never triggered.

Not seeing why, what is wrong with my code?

This happens because the test execution is synchronous in nature and it doesn't wait for the assertion to happen, so you have to pass a done callback and call it from your test inside the then callback

Like this:

import { clientData } from '../../../src/js/services/client-data.fetch';
import fetchMock from 'fetch-mock';

describe('test', () => {
    const exampleResponse = {
        clientData: 'test'
    };

    beforeAll(() => {
        fetchMock.mock('*', exampleResponse);
    });

    it('ooo', (done) => {
        console.log('here', clientData);
        var a = clientData;
        a.then(b=> {
            console.log(b);
            done();
        })
    });
});
