I'm testing my Node.js application with supertest. In my controller I access the session object. In order to make a valid request this session object needs to be filled with some data.
Controller
// determine whether it is user's own profile or not
var ownProfile = userId == req.session.user._id ? true : false;
Test
it('profile', function (done) {
testUserOne.save(function(error, user){
request
.agent(server)
.get('/profile?userId=' + user._id)
.expect('Content-Type', /html/)
.expect(200)
.expect(/Profile/)
.end(done);
})
});
Question
How can I mock the req/session object?
This new lib should do the trick:
You might also have a look at superagent that is part of supertest. Here's a nice tutorial on this:
Don't want another lib? Try this one ...
just use as sub-app, and call your authenticated() at parent-app:
var mockApp = express();
mockApp.use(session);
mockApp.all('*', function(req, res, next) {
//authenticated(req, res, next);
//OR
req.session.uid = 'mock uid';
next();
});
mockApp.use(app);
all your routes will be authenticated before matched!
