Current behavior

I wrote an e2e test for my application. Where I create my Nest module in the before method and close the module in after.

describe('Application e2e', () => {
  const server = express();
  let app: INestApplication;

  before(async () => {
    const module = await Test.createTestingModule({
      modules: [ApplicationModule],
    })
      .compile();
    app = module.createNestApplication(server);
    await app.init();
  });

  after(async () => {
    await app.close();
  });

 // tests...

This works fine but as soon as I add a WebSocketGateway the the module, I get the following error:

TypeError: server.close is not a function
      at servers.forEach (node_modules/@nestjs/websockets/socket-module.js:42:48)
      at Map.forEach (native)
      at SocketModule.close (node_modules/@nestjs/websockets/socket-module.js:42:17)
      at NestApplication.close (node_modules/@nestjs/core/nest-application.js:118:48)
      at Context.after (src/modules/tournament/tests/teamorder.e2e-spec.ts:35:15)
      at <anonymous>
      at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:188:7)

Expected behavior

The module should close successfully.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

It seems like an easy to fix error but I will create an example if needed.

Environment

Nest version: 4.4.2


For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 8.6.0

Hi @hpop, I can't reproduce this issue. Could you share more code?

[hpop]

I am a bit busy at the moment but I will send you some code till the end of the week.

And no code was ever sent...

I am seeing a very similar issue.

  before(async () => {
    mockRoomService = mock(RoomService);

    const module = await Test.createTestingModule({
      components: [RoomService],
      controllers: [RoomController, RoomsController],
    })
    .overrideComponent(RoomService)
    .useValue(instance(mockRoomService))
    .compile();

    server = express();
    app = await module.createNestApplication(server);
    await app.init();
  });

  it('/GET', (done) => {

        done();

      .catch(done);
  });

  after(async () => {

@kamilmysliwiec, I'm seeing the exact same issue as the OP. E2E tests that create an application from a module that uses a WebSocketGateway throw an error on app.close().

core.module.ts

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DeviceGateway } from './device.gateway';

@Module({
    components: [DeviceGateway]
})
export class CoreModule {}

device.gateway.ts

of note here: of all the lifecycle methods implemented, only afterInit is executed

import {
    OnGatewayConnection, OnGatewayDisconnect,
    OnGatewayInit,
    SubscribeMessage,
    WebSocketGateway,
    WebSocketServer,
    WsResponse
} from '@nestjs/websockets';
import * as config from 'config';

// App listens on 9000, WS listens on 9001
@WebSocketGateway({ port: config.Ws.port, namespace: 'ws/devices' })
export class DeviceGateway implements OnGatewayInit, OnGatewayConnection, OnGatewayDisconnect
{
    // I am executed
    afterInit(server:any)
    {
        console.log('After Init');
    }

    // I am never executed
    handleConnection(client:any)
    {
        console.log('On Connection');
    }

    // I am never executed
    handleDisconnect(client:any)
    {
        console.log('On Disconnect');
    }
}

iambroken.e2e.ts

import { INestApplication } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Test, TestingModule } from '@nestjs/testing';
import { CoreModule } from '../../../src/core/core.module';
import * as config from 'config';
import * as SocketIOClient from 'socket.io-client';
import Socket = SocketIOClient.Socket;

describe('IAmBroken (e2e)', () =>
{
    let app:INestApplication,
    module:TestingModule,
        socket:any;

    before(async () =>
    {
        module = await Test.createTestingModule({
            imports: [CoreModule]
    }).compile();

    app = module.createNestApplication();
    await app.init();
        socket = SocketIOClient.connect(`ws://localhost:${config.Ws.port}`, { forceNew: true });
    });

    after(function(done)
    {
        // I cause BIG problems
        app.close();
        done();
    });

    it('connects and disconnects without error', () =>
    {
        socket.on('connect', () =>
        {
            expect(socket.connected).to.eq(true);

            socket.on('disconnect', (s:string) =>
            {
                expect(socket.connected).to.eq(false);
                expect(s).to.eq('io client disconnect');
            });

            socket.close();
        });
    });
});

The above test fails as long as the DeviceGateway is included in the CoreModule. This actually means that all tests are failing as long as the DeviceGateway is included. Here is the stack:

2) IAmBroken (e2e)
       "after all" hook:
     TypeError: server.close is not a function
      at servers.forEach (node_modules/@nestjs/websockets/socket-module.js:42:48)
      at Map.forEach (<anonymous>)
      at SocketModule.close (node_modules/@nestjs/websockets/socket-module.js:42:17)
      at NestApplication.close (node_modules/@nestjs/core/nest-application.js:176:48)
      at Context.<anonymous> (e2e/core/jobs/iambroken.e2e.ts:26:7)

If I get rid of app.close() in the after all hook above, the test passes, but as I mentioned, only the afterInit lifecycle hook is ever executed. handleDisconnect and handleConnection never execute.

I would venture that I'm missing something important in your websockets package, but I can't find an answer in the docs. I'd really appreciate some guidance here.

Update

On closer inspection, I don't think it's me. If I don't use a namespace in my WebSocketGateway, everything works as expected. If I do, when nest calls SocketModule.close there is no server with my namespace, hence the above error.
