I tried this change with the reported test case, the new assertion message is
The error message isn't much useful to determine that the value is an LWC Component. Jest serializes it like an Object and prints out the enumerable properties. This is acceptable.
However, if we want to make it a bit better, IMO the solution is to provide a serializer for LightningElement component instance via
@lwc/jest-serializer
and have it call theLightningElement.toString()
methodThe background is that jest tries to detect the value type. For DOMElement, it uses the
tagName
property to test if the value is a DOMElement. Hence the error reported by the user. The code is inpretty-format
package.There was a problem hiding this comment.

This makes sense; we can open an issue on
lwc-test
for that.AIUI, if we did this, then we would not need to add any code to LWC OSS to do special handling for Jest. So yeah, that makes sense to me as an alternative.
