Does nothing get called after dispatch in redux?












0














I am trying to map over an array and call dispatch every time. it's working in the code but failing in unit tests. see below



const errorArray = [this contains 2 objects]

errorArray.map(err => dispatch(myFunc(MY_VAR, err.msg)))


when I then assert expect(myFunc).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(2) it fails because it says it was only called once



so then I changed my code to be



console.log('hi')
dispatch(myFunc(MY_VAR, 'randomstring'))


// this printed out 'hi'



I then swapped it round to be



dispatch(myFunc(MY_VAR, 'randomstring'))
console.log('hi')


and hi was NOT logged. does this mean that once dispatch has happened, nothing else gets called after? this would also explain the first part when I'm asserting for 2 dispatches. but it's only doing the first one. what am i doing wrong? I just want to map over my errors array and dispatch for every one inside there

          Mapping over an array returns a new array: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map



          A for-loop seems to be the better construct:



          errorArray.forEach(function(element) {
          dispatch(myFunc(MY_VAR, element.msg))
          });
