### Testing with mocked Apollo Client
To test the logic of Apollo cache updates, we might want to mock an Apollo Client in our unit tests. To separate tests with mocked client from 'usual' unit tests, it's recommended to create an additional component factory. This way we only create Apollo Client instance when it's necessary:
To test the logic of Apollo cache updates, we might want to mock an Apollo Client in our unit tests. We use [`mock-apollo-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mock-apollo-client) library to mock Apollo client and [`createMockApollo` helper](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/spec/frontend/helpers/mock_apollo_helper.js) we created on top of it.

#### Testing `@client` queries
If your application contains `@client` queries, most probably you will have an Apollo Client warning saying that you have a local query but no resolvers are defined. In order to fix it, you need to pass resolvers to the mocked client with a second parameter (bare minimum is an empty object):
Sometimes we want to test a `result` hook of the local query. In order to have it triggered, we need to populate a cache with correct data to be fetched with this query:
