Question: How do would I write a post request test in mocha that tests if the response matches?
The response will just be a url string as it is a redirect for a 3rd party service.
Working Example Payload:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"participant":{"nuid":"98ASDF988SDF89SDF89989SDF9898"}}' http://localhost:9000/api/members
member.controller.js // post method
// Creates a new member in the DB.
exports.create = function(req, res) {
Member.findByIdAndUpdate(req.body.participant.nuid,
{ "$setOnInsert": { "_id": req.body.participant.nuid } },
{ "upsert": true },
function(err,doc) {
if (err) throw err;
res.send({
'redirectUrl': req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host') + '/registration/' + req.body.participant.nuid
})
}
);
};
Expected res.send
{"redirectUrl":"http://localhost:9000/registration/98ASDF988SDF89SDF89989SDF9898"}
Working Example GET request Test
var should = require('should');
var app = require('../../app');
var request = require('supertest');
describe('GET /api/members', function() {
it('should respond with JSON array', function(done) {
request(app)
.get('/api/members')
.expect(200)
.expect('Content-Type', /json/)
.end(function(err, res) {
if (err) return done(err);
res.body.should.be.instanceof(Array);
done();
});
});
it('should respond with redirect on post', function(done) {
// need help here
});
});
Create a file named teams. js, import the API using require and create the function getTeamByPlayer it will return a promise, using setTimeout simulate the async process. Our promise return the resolve if the team with the player is found or the reject with an error if not found. Export the function to be used.
Try with this:
it('should respond with redirect on post', function(done) {
request(app)
.post('/api/members')
.send({"participant":{"nuid":"98ASDF988SDF89SDF89989SDF9898"}})
.expect(200)
.expect('Content-Type', /json/)
.end(function(err, res) {
if (err) done(err);
res.body.should.have.property('participant');
res.body.participant.should.have.property('nuid', '98ASDF988SDF89SDF89989SDF9898');
});
done();
});
