I don't know why the test not passes for this function,
export function timeStampToFormattedDate (timestamp) {
if (!timestamp) return 'N/A'
const date = new Date(timestamp)
return date.toLocaleString('en-us', { dateStyle: 'long' })
}
Test
describe('timeStampToFormattedDate function', () => {
it('returns formatted date string from last active user time-stamp', () => {
const timeStamp = 1592810798024
const formattedString = timeStampToFormattedDate(timeStamp)
expect(formattedString).toEqual(`June 22, 2020`)
})
})
I'm getting this error when I run the test,
timeStampToFormattedDate function › returns formatted date string from last active user time-stamp
expect(received).toEqual(expected) // deep equality
Expected: "June 22, 2020"
Received: "6/22/2020, 10:26:38 AM"

11 | })
12 |
13 | it('returns "N/A" if last active timestamp is null', () => {
at Object.toEqual (src/utilities/dateTimeUtil.test.js:10:29)
When I try the function by calling with the same parameter with the test in browser conosle, it's working as expected.
timeStampToFormattedDate(1592810798024)
"June 22, 2020"
So why it's failing in jest?
