How to send query string parameters using supertest?

Question

I'm using supertest to send get query string parameters, how can I do that?

I tried

var imsServer = supertest.agent("https://example.com");  imsServer.get("/")   .send({     username: username,     password: password,     client_id: 'Test1',     scope: 'openid,TestID',     response_type: 'token',     redirect_uri: 'https://example.com/test.jsp'   })   .expect(200)    .end(function (err, res) {     // HTTP status should be 200     expect(res.status).to.be.equal(200);     body = res.body;     userId = body.userId;     accessToken = body.access_token;     done();   }); 

but that didn't send the parameters username, password, client_id as query string to the endpoint. Is there a way to send query string parameters using supertest?

Answer 1

Although supertest is not that well documented, you can have a look into the tests/supertest.js.

There you have a test suite only for the query strings.

Something like:

request(app)   .get('/')   .query({ val: 'Test1' })   .expect(200, function(err, res) {     res.text.should.be.equal('Test1');     done();   }); 

Therefore:

.query({   key1: value1,   ...   keyN: valueN }) 

should work.
