Using nock to test POST request in async action creator - asynchronous

Question

I am using nock to mock my asynchronous thunk action creators. Everything works as expected for GET requests, but I haven't been able to make a POST request work. I have read everything I can find online but nothing fixed my problem. I can see the response body in the failed test run. The issue is that there is no nock match for the url. Can anyone spot the problem?
Test file:
describe('#saveReminder', () => {
it(`creates ${constants.actions.REQUEST_SAVE_REMINDER}
and ${constants.actions.RECEIVE_SAVE_REMINDER}`, () => {
data = { payload: 'payload' };
nock(constants.paths.API_AUTHORITY)
.post('api/prospect/add-reminder', {
prospect: 1,
reminder_datetime: '2017-12-22T18:42:00.000Z',
description: 'description',
})
.reply(200, { data } )
const expectedActions = [
{ type: constants.actions.REQUEST_SAVE_REMINDER },
{ type: constants.actions.RECEIVE_SAVE_REMINDER, data }
]
return store.dispatch(actions.saveReminder({
id: 1,
description: 'description',
date: moment(),
time: moment(),
})).then(() => {
expect(store.getActions()).toEqual(expectedActions)
})
})
})
Async action:
export function saveReminder({ id, description, date, time }) {
return (dispatch) => {
requestSaveReminder();
return fetch(`${constants.paths.API_AUTHORITY}api/prospect/add-reminder`, {
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Csrf-Token': Cookie.get('X-Csrf-Token'),
},
credentials: 'same-origin',
method: 'POST',
body: JSON.stringify(
{
prospect: id,
reminder_datetime: moment(`${date.format('MM/DD/YYYY')} ${time.format('HH:mm')}`, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm'),
description,
}
),
}).then(response => {
response.json();
})
.then(json => dispatch(receiveSaveReminder(json.data)))
.catch(ex => dispatch(requestSaveReminderFailure(ex)));
};
}
Test Failure:
Object {
- "type": "REQUEST_SAVE_REMINDER",
+ "data": [FetchError: request to http://localhost:8080/api/prospect/add-reminder failed, reason: Nock: No match for request {

+ ]
+ },
+ "body": "{\"prospect\":1,\"reminder_datetime\":\"2017-12-22T18:56:00.000Z\",\"description\":\"description\"}"
+ }],
+ "type": "REQUEST_SAVE_REMINDER_FAILURE",
},
- Object {
- "data": Object {
- "payload": "payload",
- },
- "type": "RECEIVE_SAVE_REMINDER",
- },
The urls appear to match. Why does it say Nock: No match for request? Thanks!

Because you are not only matching URLs, you are also validating expected payload with Nock. If you replace your nock post() call with .post('api/prospect/add-reminder', () => true) I would think the timestamp difference wont affect you.
