Unit testing with xrm-mock in Visual Studio Code

Overview

The post provides a few examples of unit tests for Dynamics 365 client-side TypeScript (Figure 6). It also describes, at a very high level, some of the configuration required to achieve this. For a detailed description, please refer to the references

Setup

Installing the packages

Within Visual Studio Code, the following have been installed

  • Node.js
  • npm packages: xrm-mock, TypeScript, Jest, esLint, Prettier & webpack
  • nuget package: XrmDefinitelyTyped

Referring to Figure 2, the npm packages are placed in the ‘node_modules’ folder and the XrmDefinitelyTyped package is placed in the ‘packages’ folder

Several of the resulting json configuration files are shown below in Figures 1, 2 & 3
