How to test url change with Jest

I found a working method by declaring in the beginning of the test a global variable:

global.window = { location: { pathname: null } };

and checked this variable like this:

expect(global.window.location.pathname).toEqual('/new-url');

That worked fine.

instead of having to set the pathname to null, you can just check it like

expect(global.window.location.href).toContain('/new-url').

so that way you don't have to assign null to the pathname.
