The Problem

You want to write maintainable tests for your Svelte components.

This Solution

@testing-library/svelte is a lightweight library for testing Svelte components. It provides functions on top of svelte and @testing-library/dom so you can mount Svelte components and query their rendered output in the DOM. Its primary guiding principle is:

The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you.

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies:

npm install --save-dev @testing-library/svelte

This library supports svelte versions 3, 4, and 5.

You may also be interested in installing @testing-library/jest-dom so you can use the custom jest matchers.

Setup

We recommend using @testing-library/svelte with Vitest as your test runner. To get started, add the svelteTesting plugin to your Vite or Vitest config.

  // vite.config.js
  import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte'
+ import { svelteTesting } from '@testing-library/svelte/vite'

  export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
      svelte(),
+     svelteTesting(),
    ]
  });

See the setup docs for more detailed setup instructions, including for other test runners like Jest.
