Error in test: Cannot automatically buffer without a document about aphrodite HOT 3 CLOSED

Seems like a problem with your testing environment. The error says there is no document. Thus I'm guessing you are running your tests in a node environment (as opposed to running them in browser environment).

If you are trying to test how your components will render in a browser environment, there are many tools out there that will run your tests in browser. Two examples are karma and browser-run.

If you are trying to test how your components will render on the server, then you will need to do something more along the lines of this in your tests:

import {renderToString} from 'react-dom/server'
import {StyleSheetServer} from 'aphrodite'

const {html, css} = StyleSheetServer.renderStatic(() => renderToString(<Dummy {...props} />))

as explained here.

Hope that helps!

Aphrodite won't work without a browser environment. It tries to automatically inject styles into the document, which doesn't work without some setup. I'm not sure what your TestUtils.createRenderer() does, but as @montemishkin says, wrapping your call in StyleSheetServer.renderStatic is probably what you want to do.

You can also use something like jsdom to simulate a browser environment, which is what we do in our tests: https://github.com/Khan/aphrodite/blob/master/tests/index_test.js#L9

@xymostech @montemishkin Thanks guys, indeed, I am using just mocha testing and didn't realize that Aphrodite requires a DOM to render out the styles (that's my current understanding). Appreciate the suggestion to use StyleSheetServer.renderStatic.
