# The test
The first part of the exercise was to write the test itself. In case you forgot, the test must verify that the `Task` component will call the `onToggle` callback when a user clicks on it. This is one of the tests that suit the description:


it('fires onToggle callback', () => {
    const mockOnToggle = jest.fn();
    render(<Task task={completedTask} onToggle={mockOnToggle} />);
    fireEvent.click(screen.getByText(completedTask.label));
    expect(mockOnToggle).toHaveBeenCalled();
});

Let's go line-by-line. Firstly, we create the mock callback. The purpose of mock callbacks is to assert on them (i.e., check that a function was called). Then we render the `Task` component, and pass in our mock function into the `onToggle` prop. Then, we use the `fireEvent` object to `click` on the HTML element with the task text. Lastly, we check that the callback function was actually called back.

# The implementation
Fixing this test proves to be even easier than writing the test itself. You will need to (1) extract the `onToggle` prop from the props object, and (2) pass it as is into `onClick` prop of the `li` element:
