Hmmm, I gather you are trying to test the server-side code here? Unit tests or integration/functional tests?
When unit testing my own code which uses 3rd party libraries I often use SinonJS to mock/stub out the external functions that are called in whatever function I'm testing. That way you can isolate the function you're testing without involving other dependent libraries.
For functional/integration tests I have often used supertest. This will fire up a server instance, so that you can perform automated HTTP requests against it, and enables you to test the entire dependency chain.
I'm not sure if I answered your question well, so be sure to tell me if I need to clarify anything :)
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, these are server side integration/functional tests. Below is a code sample of what i'm trying to do. The problem is, after I log in, I go to the next test and the application dosen't know i'm logged in as a user and returns a 403 instead of a 200 on the /users
call.
var request = require('supertest'),
expect = require('expect.js');
//enter your domain
var baseURL = "http://localhost:8000/";
describe('Test Login', function (done) {
it('First see if the home page loads', function(done) {
request(baseURL)
.get('')
.end( function(err, result) {
expect(result.res.statusCode).to.be(200);
done();
});
});
it('then lets log in', function(done) {
var user = {'username':'admin','password':'123'};
request(baseURL)
.post('login')
.send(user)
.end( function(err, result) {
// Note, result.body has this is it...
// { role: { bitMask: 4, title: 'admin' }, username: 'admin' }
// so I know the login worked
expect(result.res.statusCode).to.be(200);
done();
});
});
it('now we should be able to do a get call /users because we are loged in', function(done) {
request(baseURL)
.get('users')
.end( function(err, result) {
/* this returns a 403 */
expect(result.res.statusCode).to.be(200);
done();
});
});
});
Okay. I got this working with the help some guys who worked on passport-stub
In server.js:
Change this line
var app = express();
To
var app = module.exports = express();
And here is my test scrip
var app = require('../server');
var request = require('supertest');
var passportStub = require('passport-stub');
passportStub.install(app);
describe('Test Login', function (done) {
afterEach(function() {
passportStub.logout(); //logout after each test
});
it('First see if the home page loads', function(done) {
request(app).get('/').expect(200, done);
});
it('a logouted out user shouldnt be able to get to this page', function(done) {
request(app).get('/users').expect(403, done);
});
it('then lets log in', function(done) {
var user = {'username':'admin','password':'123'};
request(app).post('/login').send(user).expect(200, done);
});
it('now we should be able to do a get call /users because we are loged in', function(done) {
passportStub.login({ id: 2, username: 'admin', password: '123', role: { bitMask: 4, title: 'admin' } });
request(app).get('/users').expect(200, done);
});
});
If you want, I can make a pull request so other people can use this.
Ah, right. So you're passing the entire server setup to Passport Stub, which I guess stubs out the necessary Passport components. I'd be happy to receive a pull request!
Hello,
I'm trying to build a small web app based on this project. Is it possible you could provide a example of how to test 'when a user logs in and then goes to /private'?
((To be more clear... Test one would be 'log user in'. Test two is 'user goes to /private')))
Basically, i'm able able to log in, but after that i'm having trouble mocking authenticated passport.js users in my tests.
I've been trying to use this module. https://github.com/steventux/passport-stub
Thank you ahead of time!
Edit: End goal is to have the function 'ensureAuthorized' to have valid data in 'req.user' so I can test a route that has a accessLevel higher then public. (Like an admin only POST request)
