Error: This method is only meant to be run on single node. 0 found instead


That error happens when, as it says, you run it with any number of nodes other than 1.

Similar to jQuery, your find call will return some number of nodes (really it's a single wrapper that knows how many nodes your find selector has found). And you can't call simulate against 0 nodes! Or multiple.

The solution then is to figure out why your selector (the styles.container in wrapper.find(styles.container)) is returning 0 nodes, and make sure it returns exactly 1, and then simulate will work as you expect.

const container = wrapper.find(styles.container)expect(container.length).to.equal(1)container.simulate('keyup', {keyCode: 27});expect(store.getActions()[0]).to.deep.equal(expectedAction);

Enzyme's debug method is really useful here. You could do console.log(container.debug()), or also console.log(container.html()) to make sure your component is rendering as expected during the test.


You don't find any node because the element that you try to reach is in another level. Select a specific element by the class, id.. and try this

wrapper.find('LoginForm')  .dive()  .find('.CLASS_NAME_OF_ELEMENT')  .simulate('click');


If you have more than one HTML elements like

 <button className = "age_up" onClick = {() => dispatch(onAgeUpAction())}>         Age UP         </button>         <button className = "age_down" onClick = {() => dispatch(onAgeDownAction())}>             Age Down        </button>         <button type = "button"onClick = {handleClick}>         Fetch Post         </button> 

and are calling it by a generic query like

wrapper.find('button').simulate('click');

it will return all the three nodes for you.So call it by unique ID's or ClassNames.
