Steps to reproduce

git clone git@github.com:unixc3t/recordstore-front.git

find the Signup.spec.js

remove import Vue from 'vue'
remove Vue.config.ignoredElements = ['router-link']

npm run test:unit ./tests/unit/components/Signup.spec.js

What is expected?

I hope to don't show the next waring:

[Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.

What is actually happening?

always show
[Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.

---

when I test the signup component

in the component, I use the router-link component

  <div class="my-4">
          <router-link to="/signin" class="link link-gray-900">Sign In</router-link>
        </div>

when I run npm run test:unit ./tests/unit/components/Signup.spec.js
always show the warns:
[Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option

@sunlili810
I had install the vue-router, the warn show when I run the unit test
your mean reinstall?

[sunlili810]

I had the same problem. I installed vue-router and import it like this:
import Router from 'vue-router'
Vue.use(Router);
The problem of has been solved.

@sunlili810 thank you ,as your said,It's work, but I don't know if this may be appropriate,
I don't know if this is a bug, I think it should not import vue again .

See testing lib docs:

https://vue-test-utils.vuejs.org/guides/using-with-vue-router.html

[unixc3t]

@sunlili810 use this

shallowMount(Component, {
  stubs: ['router-link', 'router-view']
})

I have done this but it didn't solve. Do you know any other way?
