When using vitest, createTestPinia not working for stores outside .vue files

[rdonadeu]

In my project i have multiple stores, inside the components when i create a testPinia instance, they work fine, but at the same time i have som helper/hook functions, in a .js/.ts files. It seems that in that files pinia is not created so i get this error:

Error: [🍍]: "getActivePinia()" was called but there was no active Pinia. Did you forget to install pinia?
        const pinia = createPinia()
        app.use(pinia)
This will fail in production.
 ❯ Module.useStore node_modules/pinia/dist/pinia.mjs:1698:19
 ❯ src/helpers/sortAndFilterTable.ts:4:20
      2| import getColumnType from './getColumnType'
      3| 
      4| const tableStore = tableStorage()
       |                    ^
      5| 
      6| function sortAndFilterTable () {
 ❯ src/components/CommonTable.vue:6:31

So the test doesn't work.

I'm creating the pinia like:

 wrapper = mount(CommonTable, {
      global: {
        plugins: [Router, createTestingPinia({
          initialState: {
            tableStorage: {

            }
          },
          createSpy: () => vi.fn()
        })
        ],

Any idea? I can't find a solution. maybe not getting tableStorage as import and getting it from function parameter?

In useStore, it gets the current vue component instance and can be used as such if used outside of .vue file

in store index.ts

import { createPinia } from 'pinia';

const pinia = createPinia();

export default pinia;

in modules test.ts

import pinia from './store';

export const useTestStore = defineStore('test', {
    state: (() => {
        return {
            a:1
        }
    })
})

// Allow access in a non-component state
export function useAppOutsideStore() {
    return useTestStore(pinia);
}

In xxx.ts

import { useAppOutsideStore } from './store'

const test = useAppOutsideStore()

console.log(test.a) // 1

You are likely using the store in an incorrect place. See https://pinia.vuejs.org/core-concepts/outside-component-usage.html#Using-a-store-outside-of-a-component
