Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't the preview UI look the same as the real app UI?

If the preview UI is different from the real app UI, there are 2 possible reasons:

1. You haven't imported global CSS files yet. Refer to https://www.vitest-preview.com/guide/getting-started#process-css

// test/setup.ts
import '../global.css';

2. The HTML structure in tests is different. You need to update the jsdom to match the real UI. You can do that by mutating the DOM in the setup file, or pass some options to render function. See an example at:

The preview is blank when I use with @vue/test-utils

By default, @vue/test-utils does not mount the component to the jsdom. You need to pass attachTo to mount function to make it work. See more at https://github.com/nvh95/vitest-preview/tree/main/examples/vue-test-utils#caveats
