UIEvent.view is always null #709

@creage

Description

@creage
  • @testing-library/user-event version: 13.2.1
  • Testing Framework and version: "@testing-library/react": "12.0.0",
  • DOM Environment: "@testing-library/jest-dom": "5.14.1",

Relevant code or config

import React from 'react';
import { FormInput } from '@fluentui/react-northstar';

import {render, screen} from '@testing-library/react';
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event';

test('type in form input', () => {
  render(
    <FormInput label="Test" placeholder="welcome" />
  );

  userEvent.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText('welcome'), 'hello');

  expect(screen.getByDisplayValue('hello')).toBeInTheDocument();
});

Trying to execute code above fails the test with TypeError: Cannot read property 'document' of null

According to specs the view property of UIEvent should point to the window.

This issue affects other libraries, like microsoft/fluentui#19233.

The more generic fireEvent works fine though - the view property is defined as expected:

act(() => {
    fireEvent.change(screen.getByPlaceholderText('welcome'), { target: { value: 'hello' } });
});
