I'm writing a test for VueJS and I want to access the outermost layer of HTML. However, no matter what method I use, the outermost layer is always ignored. Anyway, I can access this outermost layer and do something with it (e.g.outermostLayer.removeAttribute('key'))
const originalHTML = ''; const component = { template: originalHTML }; const wrapper = mount(component); await flushPromises(); console.log(wrapper.element.querySelector('main')); // only return the inner main console.log(wrapper.element.getElementsByTagName('main')); //only the inner one content
You can only get inner elements because outer elements are your wrappers. Use the
attachToinstallation option.const wrapper = mount(component, { attachTo: document.body });Then you can do the following, although I think this depends on the version. I recommend updating to the latest and greatest!
console.log(wrapper.findAll('main').length); // 2 - This confirms there are 2x main elements. console.log(wrapper.findAll('main')[0]); // 0 - The first element. console.log(wrapper.findAll('main')[0].attributes('key')); // undefined - This doesn't appear to work...A quick test suggests that the property may not be supported?

Note: When appending to the DOM, you should call wrapper.destroy() at the end of the test to remove the rendered element from the document and destroy the component instance.
