How to assert a function is called from within another function?

Viewed 36967

I have a component in React with an onChange event. In the code below, I need to assert that the correct method is called when

this.props.onChangeImage()

is invoked in the Gallery component.

export class Form extends React.PureComponent {

  componentDidMount = () => {
    this.props.getUser();
    this.props.getImages();
    this.props.getBoards();
  }

  render() {
    if (this.props.pin === null) {
      let boards = [];
      boards = this.props.boards;
      boards = boards.data.map(
        (item) => <MenuItem key={item.id.toString()} value={item.name} primaryText={item.name} />
      );
      return (
        <div>
          <Helmet
            title="Form"
            meta={[
              { name: 'description', content: 'Description of Form' },
            ]}
          />
          <Gallery images={this.props.images} onChange={this.props.onChangeImage} />
        </div>
      );
    }
    return (<div className="spinner-container"><CircularProgress /></div>);
  }
}

Below, in the onChangeImage method, I am trying to assert that the sendEventToParentWindow method is called.

function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
  return {

    onChangeImage: (event) => {
      dispatch(createPinImage(event.target.value));
      sendEventToParentWindow({
        action: 'change-image',
        description: 'Change image',
      });
    },
  };
}

function sendEventToParentWindow(message) {
  window.postMessage(message, window.location.href);
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(Form);

I've looked at a number of answers here, and while this one seemed closest, it's not quite getting me there: Jest - mocking a function call

EDIT: Here is my test which I believe is wrong because it's assigning the mocked function to be called directly onChange when it really should be calling the function that in turn calls the mock. I need somehow to invoke the onImageChange function and then verify that my spy was called.

import Gallery from '../index';
import * as formIndex from '../../../containers/Form';

describe('<Gallery />', () => {
  it('Expect sendMessageToParentWindow to be called on image change', () => {
    const sendEventToParentWindowMock = jest.spyOn(formIndex, 'sendEventToParentWindow');
    const gallery = shallow(<Gallery images={imagesMockData} onChange={sendEventToParentWindowMock} />);
    gallery.find('input#image-1').simulate('change');

    expect(sendEventToParentWindowMock).toBeCalled();
  });
}
